Important Tips For Quran Memorization or Hifz

Hifz Quran

 

 

1. Sincerity 

The first issue you should pay attention to is your intention (if you have good intentions, you will be fine). Make sure that the intention you are doing is only for Allah, seek His Pleasure so that inshAllah, with His Mercy, be rewarded in the Aakhirah. It is not to be shown in front of others that you have memorized a lot. Sincerity is not a one-time factor but it is a continuous battle that you always have to renew.

2. Consistency 

The more frequently you memorize, the easier it becomes. It is very essential to be consistent and not skip a day. There is no weekend in worship. The minimum that one must memorize is at least 3 lines, 5 is more ideal. If you are consistent, inshAllah, you can be huffadh in 5 to 6 years.

3. Time

 The first thing you should do on the day is to memorize, even do it before breakfast, because this is your spiritual breakfast. The best time to memorize is right after Fajr. . (Sh Yasir used to take an hour to memorize a page at the beginning, and finally it reached 15-20 minutes)

4. Atmosphere

 Have a secluded place to go and memorize in a quiet place. You just can not memorize correctly with distractions, so turn off all your devices (like cell phones)

5. Familiarity:

 start at the same time, in the same place and use the same porridge every day. You need to have your own copy of the Mushaf (the Madani Mushaf is highly recommended), later it will be very dear to you.

6. No magic trick:

 repeat, repeat, repeat, over and over again. It is only recitation and / or repetitive listening that will help memorize.

7. Memorize with the meaning: 

read the translation before beginning and try to match the Arabic words with their meanings

8. Surround yourself with recitation:

 listen to the Qur'an. Before you begin to memorize, listen to what you are about to memorize

9. Find a recitation partner: 

get a friend, family member or someone you know to listen to your recitation every day. Ideally, get someone who is also memorizing to create a group pressure system. Quran Qari Online is best place where you can get Qari who will listen your recitation every day.

10. Recite daily

 in your salaat what you have memorized. If you forget a part, you will immediately rush to the Qur'an and correct your error and never make this mistake again.

11.Triple daily dose:

a) New memorization at the assigned time of the day.
b) Review of the previous 7 days, just before starting the new memorization: This is because the fastest you forget is the new memorization. And in doing so, the connector will also be built between the old ones and the new part that will be memorized. In addition, it will be a good warm-up for the brain when you remember your memory and recite, before starting the actual exercise of doing the new memorization.
c) At a later time / at another time of the day, check them before the last 7 days. The minimum must be 4-5 pages.

12. Do not jump around. Be consistent.

 Do not try to go to another sura if you find it difficult and respect the order. That way, you will have the satisfaction of having completed a juz instead of leaving some parts here and there.

13. The three pieces.

 Start from the back. Shorter Surahs will bring you a great boost. You must divide the memorization of the Qur'an into three parts:
a) Juz 28, 29, 30 or simply Juz 29, 30
b) Surah Al-Kahf to Juz 28
c) Sura Al-Baqara to Sura Al-Kahf
