Quran Memorization (Hifz)

Memorizing the entire Quran (hifz) is a noble tradition that dates back to the Prophet's time. A person who memorizes the Quran is called a hafiz.

Virtue

'The one who is proficient in the Quran will be with the noble righteous scribes (angels)' (Bukhari and Muslim).

Methods

• Repetition: Read each page 20-30 times until memorized
• Consistency: Daily practice, even a small amount
• Review (Muraja'ah): Regular revision of memorized portions
• Teacher: Study under a qualified teacher for proper tajwid

Tips

Best time for memorization is after Fajr. Link new memorization with existing portions. Use one mushaf consistently.
