Here are a few tips for memorizing Quran (or anything else, for that matter).
What?
- The Quran
With whom?
- It is best to memorize with someone who can check your recitation. Go to the local mosque; there may be a Quran class for this purpose.
- You can memorize with a group, or you can memorize alone. Different people use different methods.
- If you like to memorize alone, or there is no one available to check your recitation, or you're just practising/reviewing, use audio to help you memorize. One can buy tapes or find recitations online.
Where?
- Quiet, simple room. Remove all distractions, such as bright posters and loud noises.
- At eye level. Try not to dip your head while during memorization.
When?
- At dawn (after Fajr prayer), before breakfast or other tasks
- Consistently. Don't put large gaps between memorizing one thing and another. Memorize daily.
- With a positive attitude. It can make all the difference.
- Eat healthy. Avoid fatty foods and soda. Also, snack on almonds. They are good for improving one's memory.
- Memorize something new.
- Don't jump around. Move steadily in one direction.
- Start small. The surahs (chapters) in the back of the Quran are the shortest.
- Listen before you leap. Listen to a recitation before you study the surah yourself.
- Repeat. Over and over and over...
- Memorize translation. Arabic isn't the first language for most Muslims, and it can be tricky to learn. Memorizing the translation will help you make connections with why one word leads to the next, and why one aya (verse) leads to the one after.
- Review. Every day, go over what you memorized the past ten days. This helps to solidify the material in your mind.
- Practice! Use what you memorize, especially in prayer.
Why?
- With every letter recited, you earn 10 hasana (good deeds).
- Learn about Islam.
- Strengthen your work ethic. Memorizing the Quran is not easy. It takes time, effort, perseverance, and patience. These values will aid you in everything you do.
- Learn another language.
- Much, much more!
