Anyone give me some tips to memorize Quran?

Question

Please give me some tips to memorize Quran. I do not need stuffs copy pasted from the net or something. I need from real experience.

Answer 1

Well it depends if you know Arabic of not.

If you do then the best way is to read it constantly. Also recite longer Surahs in your prayers. Maybe join a group who is working on becoming a Haafiz(person who has memorized the whole Quran).

If you don't know Arabic(like me). I use a couple of sites on the internet. I like Islamiccity.com. You listen to ayah by ayah slowly. Then it has Arabic script, English translation and also English transliteration. There are other languages you can choose to. Or I use recitor.org. You can also listen ayah by ayah. And here you can choose a particular section and not have to do it by Surah.

Also if you do not know Arabic, then you should learn. I have a teacher. And it has made it much easier now that I am learning Arabic to read and understand the Quran. When you don't know Arabic and your recite Quran in Arabic you have to think in your own language at the same time so you understand. Makes things kind of hard.

Either way inshaAllah you will become a Haafiz. May Allah help you. Ameen

Answer 2

usually see the doughnut and the glass is half full but today, I'm going to highlight some major errors done by people who recorded the recitations of the imam and many readers of al quran.

(1) Qurra (plural of qaari) in the recordings have gone an extensive training to recite Al Quran, may Allah reward them, but they are still human beings. They are not infallible. On the day of judgment, they will defend themselves from the hell fire like us. So, first and foremost for us, it is simply improper to revere them. Our reverence should only be to the prophet Muhammad.

(2) these so called recordings, many of them have been contaminated by unnecessary echoes that defeat the purpose of Al Quran. I find the worst recordings are the recordings during taraweeh. The beauty of Al Quran lies mainly on the adherence of the recitor to the rules of tajweed. Echoes deplete the proper makharij of the letters thus inabling us to listen to the proper sentence. If the echo is unavoidable due to the acoustic nature of the hall, then there's nothing we can do about it, but being quite knowledgable in audio production myself, many of the echoes were added later in post production in the studio. These people should revisit their intention on why these recordings are produced. Al Quran recordings are not to be used as a "background entertainment" while you're doing your work or having an Eid party.

(3) If the sole purpose of Al Quran is to be memorized than the word "tarteel" would not have been used by Allah in the method or reading Al Quran. And the word "ta'allam" would not have been used in the famous hadeeth on teaching and learning Al Quran.Tarteel is the BEST way to read it. Regardless. I cringe when I listen to young huffaaz who try so hard to emulate their favorite recitors but compromising greatly on their tajweed skills. Very often they make sounds longer than they should (even a second longer is really excruciating) especially at the end of an aayaah. This is an error that the people of Al Quran should avoid.

(4) YOu memorize Al Quran not to become an Imam or lead the prayer. I know many huffaaz who are not imam or they lead the prayer sparingly. They don't CRAVE to lead the prayer and show off their memorization.You memorize al Quran so that you know the rules of Allah and it'll be easier for your to safeguard yourselves from your desires and the devil.

(5) al Quran and tajweed go hand in hand. when you tell me that you're memorizing al Quran it means that you're memorizing it with a very strict adherence to the tajweed rules. No compromise there. If not, you are desecrating the speech of Allah. To read al quran with tajweed is fardh 'ain.

Allah knows best.

Answer 3

As salaamu alaikum

Select three pages of the Qur'aan you desire to memorize. Read the same three pages of the mushaf - to yourself- after all five prayers for about five to ten minutes. Then recite them in all of your sunnah prayers that go with each of the five prayers except for Fajr and Maghrib.

Also if you can, stand up at night praying three raka'aat of night pray for three straight nights holding the mushaf in your hand in the begining until you can do it without holding it and looking at it.

DO NOT LET ANYTHING KEEP YOU FROM DOING THAT EVERY DAY!

Also, always use the same mushaf when reading and reviewing. The better mushaf to use is the one printed in AL-Madeenah, since all the pages end and begin in a verse and every ten pages is a juz. Do not go beyond those three pages until you have completely memorized them

If you can, read the tafseer(explanation) of those verses that you are memorizing.

I hope that helped.

Don't bother. Go to college instead, we need more engineers and doctors, not people who can recite poetry.
