I’ve had questions from various people asking about whether they should focus on memorisation of the Qur’ān or understanding it. The memorisation of the Qur’ān or Tajwīd. The memorisation of the Qur’ān or Arabic. Among the five rights of the Qur’ān, which is superior — memorising or understanding? Or do both go hand in hand?…

People ask me what method I used to memorize the Quran. I’ll answer this in two parts. The first addresses memorization. The second addresses review: Teachers in al-Azhar used to say to me, “whoever memorizes five verses, rarely forgets them.” So, when memorizing, start with five verses. I had a classmate who memorized four pages…
Incredible… Aged 85 years old, Hajjah Naima Wahbi memorised the entire Qurʾān! She can neither read or write.

I have tried numerous methods throughout my years of memorizing. Sometimes I would stop memorizing for months at a time and only focus on review (although this always failed when I didn’t have a teacher who could help me stay on track because I ended up wasting precious months without review or memorization).
Dr Sabbahi began memorising at the age of 55 years and it took him 5.5 years to complete in 2007. Prior to serious memorisation, he had been memorising on and off. Until one day, a Shaykh at his Masjid asked for committment to memorise the Qur’an after Ramadan.
