An Easy Guide To Memorizing The Holy Qur'an. by haywhy911(m): 9:57pm On Dec 08, 2015 |
Deep Memorization of
the Quran:
Advice from Madina al
Munawwarah.
This method is
excellent for the
strength of
memorisation and its
solidity (deep-rootednes
s) and the
quick speed of
memorisation and
quick completing the
Qur’an. Note it
is not necessarily the
case that you
MUST use this method,
but you MUST
try it. You NEED to find
your method
and own it!
So here we go. Taking
the example of
Surah al-Jumu’ah:
1. Read the first verse
20 times
2. Read the second
verse 20 times
3. Read the third verse
20 times
4. Read the fourth verse
20 times
5. Read these (above)
four from the
beginning to the end, to
link them,
20 times.
6. Read the fifth verse
20 times
7. Read the sixth verse
20 times
8. Read the seventh
verse 20 times
9. Read the eighth verse
20 times
10. Read from the fifth
verse to the
eighth verse 20 times
to consolidate
between them
11. Read from the first
verse to the
eighth verse 20 times
to perfect this
page.
You should continue like
this for
every page of the
Qur’an. Persist with
it and you will get
better and better.
As with anything the
more you give
it, the better you get.
The next thing
to note is that you
should not exceed
memorising a certain
amount as to
not exert yourself. You
should not
exceed your daily
portion above and
beyond one eighth of a
chapter.
If I wish to memorise a
new
page tomorrow then
how do
I do it?
If you wish to
memorise another
page for the next day,
then before
you memorise the new
page using
the method mentioned
above, read
from the beginning of
the page (you
memorised yesterday)
to the end of
the page 20 times so
that the
previously memorised
page becomes
solid (in your memory).
Then
memorise the new
page using the
method shown.
How do I combine
between
memorisation and
revision?
Do not memorise the
Qur’an without
revision, (otherwise) if
you memorise
the Qur’an, page by
page until you
complete the Qur’an,
and you wish to
return to what you
have memorised
you would find that you
have
forgotten what you had
memorised.
(You would have
forgotten by the
time you stopped
reading the first
pages you had learnt).
The correct way is to
combine
memorisation with
revision. Divide
the Qur’an into 3
divisions: every 10
parts (juz) is a division.
Then if you
memorise one page a
day, then you
should revise 4 pages a
day until you
have memorised 10 juz.
Then when
you have memorised 10
juz, stop for
one whole month for
revision,
everyday revising 8
pages.
And after a month of
revision, start
memorising the
remainder, a page or
two, according to your
capabilities
and revise 8 pages until
you
complete memorising
20 juz. Then
when you have
memorised 20 juz,
stop the memorisation
for 2 whole
months for the revision
of the 20 juz,
everyday revising 8
pages. Then
when the 2 months of
revision have
passed, start with the
memorisation,
doing one or two pages
everyday
according to your
capability, while
revising 8 pages until
you complete
memorising the entire
Qur’an.
When you have
completed
memorising the entire
Qur’an, revise
the first 10 juz alone
for one month;
everyday half a juz.
Then you go to
the second 10 juz for a
month,
everyday half a juz and
you read 8
pages from the first 10
juz. Then you
go to memorizing the
last 10 juz for
one month, everyday
half a juz and 8
pages from the first 10
juz and 8
pages from the second
10 juz.
How do I revise the
entire
Qur’an when I have
completed this (above)
revision?
Start with revising the
entire Qur’an:
everyday 2 parts (juz),
repeating
them thrice everyday,
thereby
completing the revision
of the entire
Qur’an every two
weeks. And in this
way, during one year
you would
memorise the entire
Qur’an with
perfection while you
use this method
the whole year.
What do I do after one
year
of memorising the
Qur’an?
After a year of
perfecting the revision
of the Qur’an, then let
your
“Manzil” (division) of the
Qur’an be
that of the Prophet
(peace and
blessings of Allah be
upon him) until
your death. The Qur’an
is divided into
seven divisions in this
way you
complete the Qur’an
once every
seven days.
(Note: there are two
terms used,
Manzil and Hizb. They
both mean
portions but will we
used in different
Qur’an copies. Manzil is
used in
asian/sub-continental
copies
whereas Hizb is used in
Arab/
Uthmani copies. There
are 60 Hizb all
together but divided
into 4 quarters
per Hizb. The Manzil
method divides
each Juz into 4 quaters
but divides
the Qur’an into 7
divisions).
Ahmad and Abu Dawud
narrated
from Aws b. Hudhayfa,
may Allah
be well pleased with
him, who
said: ‘We came to the
Messenger
of Allah, prayers and
peace be
upon him, as part of the
delegation of Thaqif.’
He said:
‘The Messenger of
Allah, prayers
and peace be upon him,
would
come to us every night
after ‘isha
and speak to us.’ He
said: ‘One
night he was late from
(coming
to see us at) the time
he would
come to us.’ We said: ‘O
Messenger of Allah, you
have
come to us late
tonight.’ He said:
‘I had my portion of the
Qur’an to
read and I did not want
to come
until I had finished it.’
Aws said: ‘I asked the
companions of the
Messsenger of
Allah, prayers and peace
be upon
him, about how he
divided up his
reading of the Qur’an.’
They said:
‘Three, five, seven,
nine, eleven,
thirteen and the
Mufassal.’
Thus, the Prophet,
prayers and peace
be upon him, would
complete the
Qur’an weekly. His
reading would be
as follows:
Day 1: Fatiha to
Al-‘Imran (three
suras)
Day 2: Al-Nisa to Al-
Anfal (five
suras)
Day 3: Al-Tawba to Al-
Hijr (seven
suras)
Day 4: Al-Nahl to Al-Nur
(nine
suras)
Day 5: Al-Furqan to Al-
Fatir (eleven
suras)
Day 6: Ya Sin to Al-Fath
(thirteen
suras)
Day 7: Al-Hujurat to Al-
Nas
(Mufassal)
How do I differentiate
between the
Mutashabihat
(verses that are similar)
in the
Qur’an?
The best way is that
when you come
across two similar
verses in the
Qur’an, then open the
Qur’an
(Mushaf) to both these
verses and
look at the difference in
the two
verses and reflect over
it, and set a
rule for yourself, and
during your
memorisation note the
difference
many times until you
have perfected
the similarities between
the two of
them.
Rules and disciplines in
memorisation:
It is necessary that you
do your
memorisation with a
qualified
teacher (so that he
may) correct
the recitation.
Memorise two (sides of
a) pages
everyday, one after Fajr
and one
after Asr or Maghrib
and in this
way you will memorise
the entire
Qur’an solidly during one
year and
your memorisation will
be perfect,
but if you increase in
memorisation then that
which you
memorised will be
weak. (based
upon 20 page per juz
Qur’an / 15
lines)
The memorisation
should be from
Sura Naas to Sura
Fatihah because
it is easier, and after
your
memorisation of the
Qur’an, your
revision should be from
Surah
Baqarah to Sura Naas.
The memorisation
should be from
one printed copy so it
helps the
firm-rootedness of
memorisation
and the quickness of
remembering
the places of the
verses and the
ending of pages and the
beginning of them.
Everyone memorising in
the first
two years, that which
is
memorised slips away
(he forgets
easily that which has
been
memorised) and this is
called “the
assembly stage” so do
not feel sad
that the Qur’an is
slipping away
from you or your many
mistakes.
And this is a difficult
phase with
trials, because Shaytan
has a part
in stopping you from
memorising
the Qur’an. So turn
down his
whisperings and
continue
memorising because it
is a
treasure not given to
just anyone.
