Memorising the Quran alongside school can be challenging, but with structure, discipline, and support, it becomes a rewarding journey. Here’s a clear, bullet-point guide for students and parents to follow:
⸻
1. Start the Day with Fajr and Quran
•Wake up early and pray Fajr on time.
•Recite Quran immediately after Salah to gain its blessings.
•Use this time when the mind is freshest for memorisation.
•Even 20–30 minutes can make a big difference in retention and focus.
⸻
2. Set Clear Daily Hifz Targets
•Create realistic and consistent goals for daily memorisation.
•Include time for both new memorisation and revision.
•Example:
•Memorise half a page in the morning.
•Revise a full page in the evening.
•Track progress in a notebook or chart to stay motivated.
⸻
3. Stay Disciplined — Push Yourself
•Stay committed even when tired or busy with schoolwork.
•Build a habit of pushing through tiredness with sincere effort.
•Don’t skip a day — read even a small amount if necessary.
•Hifz requires daily effort and consistency, not speed.
⸻
4. Parents’ Role: Support and Supervision
•Sit with your child during Hifz sessions to offer moral support.
•Actively supervise to reduce distractions and maintain focus.
•Encourage them gently and celebrate small successes.
•Be involved emotionally, not just logistically.
⸻
5. End the Day with Quran
•Before bed, listen to the Quran — especially the portion memorised.
•Use a reliable Qari’s audio from an app or recording.
•Helps with pronunciation, fluency, and memory.
•Ends the day on a spiritually uplifting note.
⸻
6. Remember: Balance is Key
•Adjust targets during exam periods or holidays.
•Don’t compare with others — every child has their own pace.
•Keep the intention pure: memorising for the sake of Allah.
•With effort, dua, and support, students can succeed in both Hifz and school.
