When memorising the Qur’an, it is extremely beneficial to note down the Mutashabihat – the similar or recurring verses – on the side of your page. All you need to do is write the Juz number beside each verse.
⸻
Why This Helps
Writing the Juz number helps your brain associate the verse with its location, strengthening both memory and recall. Over time, your mind begins to build mental links between similar verses across the Qur’an.
⸻
Building the Skill
At first, this method may seem challenging, but with consistent practice, your memory will naturally start recognising patterns and connections.
⸻
Adapt to Your Style
Some students prefer noting the page number or brief reminders instead of Juz numbers. Choose what works best for you. The main goal is to actively engage your mind while memorising, rather than passively reciting.
⸻
The Result
With time and repetition, you will find that memorising and distinguishing between similar verses becomes significantly easier and more natural.
