Reading the Tafseer of the verses you wish to memorize

  Reading the Tafseer of the verses you wish to memorize

From the things which assist you in hifdh is that you read the tafseer (exegesis) of the verses that you want to memorize quran because understanding its meaning will give concrete to it in the mind.

 

6- Gradual progression in hifdh
You must have gradual progression in hifdh al-Qur’aan, and not to hasten in memorization until you are able to do so – so do not burden your soul with more than it can take. Rather you must choose a portion which you are able to memorise every day and do not go over that limit.

 

7- Adhere to a proficient Shaykh with whom you memorise
This is an extremely important matter so that you can memorise Qur’aan without mistakes. Were you to memorise the Qur’an on your own then perhaps you might err in the recitation of some verses and were you to memorise it like that (with those mistakes), then it’s difficult to correct them.

 

8- Adhering to one mushaf (copy of the Qur’aan)
From the things that will aid you in hifdh is sticking to one specific copy of the Qur’an that you read and memorise from until you remember the position of the verses and chapters.

 

9- Pray with what you have memorised
It is upon you to strive with your utmost to pray the sunan and nawafil (superogatory) prayers with what you’ve memorised on that day and what a delight it would be were you to also pray the mandatory prayers with it, so that you can give ground to your hifdh.
