Would you like to memorize the Quran but didn't know how to start?
Advice on memorising the Qur'an...
1. Sincere intention
2. Patience
3. Must read Qur'an often (able to recite correctly without stuttering, making several mistakes in a page)
4. Good teacher (can even be a friend, as long as they are motivational & have good Tajweed)
|| 2 YEAR PROGRAMME ||
1 hour a day, 6 days a week
Time for memorisation:
Summer - After Fajr
Winter - Before Fajr (pray 2 raka'ah to make it easier)
1 page a day:
* Read a line for 4 minutes (use stopwatch) until completing the page
4 MINS x 15 LINES = 1 HOUR
This is the 'first memorisation' (short-term memory) and if a person forgets they shouldn't feel demoralised
* After Zuhr: Read same page 10 times
* After Asr: Read same page 10 times
* After Maghrib: Read same page 10 times (or 20 times if one couldn't read it after Zuhr or Asr)
* After Isha/Before sleeping: Read 20 times
^
All reading should be in fast pace (hadr) whilst looking at the musshaf
DAY 2:
* Revision of previous page: 15 times
* Start new page, following same technique
DAY 7 (Holiday)
* Revise the 6 pages memorised without looking until one is ready to 'pass' onto new 6 pages.
* Continue this programme until completion of 30 Parts
AFTER COMPLETION (1) Read 1 Juz a day, whilst looking at musshaf, for 6 months (6 khatme) (2) Read 1 Juz a day, without looking at musshaf, for 6 months (another 6 khatme)
ADDITONAL TIPS
* If a person struggles, they can follow above programme & try to memorise half a page a day
* 12 raka'ah daily Sunan prayers is an opportunity to recite portions of the different pages memorised in the week e.g.
- Fajr Sunah 2 raka'ah = 1 page
- Zuhr Sunah 6 Raka'ah = 3 pages
* Minimum 20 minutes a day to read/listen to the TAFSEER of the page being memorised,
can be done on journey to & back from school/work. If the journey is longer try to listen/read the explanation of the same page more than once
NASIHA FROM THE SHAYKH
* When a person finishes their hifdh for the first time, they are not hafidh. He finished in 1997 but considered himself a hafidh in 2005 (8 years to consolidate it)
* Treat the Qur'an with more importance than food - do days pass without you eating a meal?
* The da'ee must know the Qur'an well, being able to quote verses and evidences from the top of his head
* If one wants to seek knowledge in other sciences then they must remember that the first source is the Qur'an, so it should be prioritised
* Sometimes Shaytaan distracts an individual or can make them feel bored so we should remind ourselves of the virtues & rewards of being hafidh, for example; count the letters in a line and times it by ten to calculate the hasanaath.

When a woman is pregnant with a child, all the angels will make Istighfar (repentance) on her behalf.
Allah SWT will, for each day of her pregnancy, write for her 1000 good deeds and erase from her 1000 bad deeds.
When a pregnant woman starts to feel the pain from contractions, Allah SWT will write in her records as someone who is doing jihad (spiritual or physical struggle) in His path.
When a woman becomes pregnant by her husband and he is pleased with her,
she obtains the reward of a person engaging in fasting for Allah SWT and a person spending the night in ibaadah (worship). A woman from the time of pregnancy until childbirth and weaning the baby, is like the Mujahid (someone fighting in the path of Allah, swa)
I am trying to revisit seerah half hour a day and I wanted to share something that makes me bawl like a baby. Here is the story of Abu Bakr (رضي الله عنه | May Allah be pleased with him) and how he redefined what it means to be a true Friend 😇
I am going to present to you a scene after fath' Makkah [Conquest of Makkah]
During the conquest of Makkah at the entrance of the prophet ﷺ, thousands of people were coming to him to embrace Islam.
And amongst those thousands is Abu Bakr (رضي الله عنه | May Allah be pleased with him). He comes with his father Abu Quhafa - an old man with a white beard and white hair, imagine the old man how he’s walking slowly with a limp and he’s walking to the prophet ﷺ.
when i shout at you for not wearing
scarf properly it's because i'm jealous, i fear what
will happen to you the first day you laid in the grave!
When i tell you i don't like the company you are in, it's not that i want you to be lonely,
it's because none of those friends will be with you in your grave!
Oh my dear Habibti , i know i cause lots of pain to you
but it's never my wish, but the day you're in your
grave you'll understand as to why i was doing that.
Oh my dear Habibti ,
enjoy the little moment of mine
because one day you will wish to listen to me and
i'll be nowhere to be found I'll leave the world
and never come back to you, you will cry when
you see my number in your contact list,
❝When the people of Jannah will reunite, they will remember all the times they spoke about Jannah in this world. They’ll look back and laugh, at how short life was, and then smile, because beautiful is their final abode.
The people of paradise will have all that they desire. One step into Jannah and they will remember no pain. They will say they never suffered, they will say they never cried.
A dip in Jannah.
Oh how much we long for that moment. The moment where we reunite,
we hug our loved ones once again. We forget about all the pain, and thank Allāh for all the tests!
How strange does it seem, that these tests which weigh a ton on our chest today will one day elevate us. Elevate us so high, that we will thank Allāh.
Sometimes you go through hardships because Allah has chosen you to be a positive force in someone else's life.For you to listen to a loved one and say "Hey, I understand that, I have been through the same thing".
Change your perspective. There is a higher calling in everything that happens with us. Alhumdulillah ala kulli haal.
Today I am so extremely thankful to Allah for every single "hardship" He placed in my path.
SubhanAllah with time you understand there is so much hikmah behind every single "test" you go through. I say "test" and "hardship" because every single moment of our life is filled with Allah's rehma,
