How to it Memorize the beautiful Quran and not forget it
this how i go about my daily life memorizing the quran finding the deep meaning of each ayah.
these are some of the ways people memorize the quran.
Memorizing Qur'an
It's important to understand that this process is broken into
3 categories:
1) New lesson,
2) New memorization,
3) Old memorization.
I'll give a brief intro to each category and then show you
how to properly memorize within each fold. It's important to understand that
memorizing Qur'an for the long-term is a process which takes close to a month.
Once you memorize an āyah, it won't be solid until you repeat it a number of
times until it enters the deeper part of your brain.
This is where you will be memorizing from scratch. If you are
serious about memorizing, you'll need to follow these tips exactly as they are
written below.
1) Read the page 10
times while looking in from the top.
2) Read the first
āyah on the page 10 times while looking in.
3) Now read the same
verse 10 times without looking at it, until you can recite it without any
mistakes.
4) Begin connecting
the ayahs. Recite the first and second āyah together without looking in and
without mistakes.
5) Keep connecting
the ayah on the page. Each time you connect a new āyah, go back to the top of
the page and read till the āyah you've memorized.
6) When you reach
the last āyah, you should recite the whole page from the top without looking
and without any mistakes. (it has to be perfect)
7) Recite the page
from memory to someone. You should have zero mistakes.
if there is any mistakes stare from
8) You can repeat
the above steps as needed to have a perfect page memorized.
New Memorization
This is the amount of Qur'an which you've memorized in the
last 30 days. Take this part seriously, it'll determine if the ayaat you
memorized will be solid for your life or not. (Retaining/reviewing Qurʾān is a
25 day process. After those 25 days, reviewing once a month will suffice. This
will lead to the 'old memorization' which we'll speak about).
1) Whatever you
review in this section, you MUST recite it to someone who has either memorized
the ayaat or is well-versed in reading the Qur'an.
2) If you've
memorized five pages in the last five days, you must recite them to yourself
until you don't make any errors. Then go recite it to a teacher.
3) From this point
on, whatever you memorize, it MUST be read daily. When I say read it means
reviewed to yourself without mistakes
AND recited to someone else.
4) If for some
reason you didn't review your 'new memorization' for the day, then don't
memorize new ayaat. You're pouring water into a cup w/ a hole. Each day you
don't review the 'new memorization,' you're making the hole in your cup bigger
and bigger until you won't remember anything! (If you did not review a page for
seven days consecutively, go back to the 'new lesson' and re-memorize the
page).
5) I sound somewhat
redundant here, because I can't lay anymore importance on how much you need to
review the 'new memorization.' It'll make/break your hifdh.
6) If you memorize a
page a day, you'll finish a juz in 20 days. After these twenty days, take five
extra days to review the whole juz with someone proficient.
7) The juz you've
memorized will now be considered part of your 'old memorization.'
This is anything you've reviewed for at least twenty-five
days consecutively. The amount you review depends on how much Qur'an you've
memorized. Once you've memorized the Qur'an (which I pray is soon for all of
you seeking to memorize it), new lessons and new memorizations will come to a
halt, and you'll be left with the old memorization. This will continue for the
left of our lives till death does us part.
1) Daily review
Between 1-3 juz,
you should review five pages daily.
Between 4-7 juz you
should review 10 pages (which equals half the juz) daily.
Between 7-15 juz,
you should review 20 pages (which equals one juz) daily.
Between 15-20 juz,
you should review 30 pages(which equals 1.5 juz) daily.
Between 20-30 juz,
you should review 60 pages (which equals 2 juz) daily.
2) Read the juz to
yourself then recite to a teacher/hafidh.
This process will continue for the rest of your life.
3) In the 'old
memorization,' you should not get more than four mistakes, or four stutters in
a juz.
A mistake classifies as reading something incorrectly and not
being able to correct it. A stutter classifies reading something incorrectly,
being sent back a few ayahs to correct it, and finally reading it correctly. At
the same time, you should be make more than one mistake or one stutter for
every five pages you read.
Concluding remarks
When I found a
verse to be hard, I would look into the mushaf and write it somewhere. At times
I would also listen to recitations to ease the memorization for me (I recommend
Sh. Husary or sh. sudais). Sometimes looking in and repeating it won't make the
verse stick, so do whatever it takes to memorize it!
If you falter
somewhat in the old memorization, it's ok. Just don't miss two to three days at
once. Reading Qur'an is a lifetime endeavor.
Reviewing is more
important than memorizing.
Focus on perfecting
your 'new lesson' and 'new memorization.'
If you feel some
part isn't strong, give preference to reviewing that part rather than
memorizing something new.
Read something
EVERYDAY. Not only should we do this as students of hifdh, but it should be our
habit as Muslims. I'm saying, don't say “I've memorized an x amount of Qur'an
today, so no need to read and reflect.” Take out some time to read and reflect
on a few verses daily.
This is the optimal method which I found easy for myself to
memorize. It was formulated in mind as a Qur'an student who found it hard to
memorize Allāh's book. I asked Allāh's help, and I feel this method was his
answer. But alhamdulilah I am quran teacher now
I hope Allāh facilitates the memorization of His book for you
all, and blesses you with a positively achieve all the goals of your lives. ameeeeeeeen ameeeeeeen xx
Allah knows best. Until next time!
Asalaamu alaikum wa rahmatullahi wa barakatuhu
May peace, mercy, and blessings of Allah be upon you.
