There are many who will tell you that you can memorise a page of the Qur’ān within 5 to 15 minutes. While it might be true for some, it will rarely produce what true memorisation demands. I get it, sometimes time is short and you want to memorise fast or even super fast. There are…
Picture this: You’re filled with zeal and determination as you start on the journey of Hifz, eager to commit the Qur’ān to memory. You dive in headfirst, fuelled by a great intention. Yet, somewhere along the way, the initial motivation goes, and you find yourself caught in a frustrating cycle. You start and stop, and…

“Allow me to share with you a journey deeply personal, a journey that began in the year 1988, the year I, at the age of 32, found my new abode in Port Elizabeth. It was a time of new beginnings, not just in my professional life as I started my tenure at Livingstone Hospital, but…
Quran Trace calls itself “Innovative, dynamic, and faith-inspired” and “the world’s leading authenticated traceable Quran in the Uthmani script”. The Quran Trace is the entire Quran in a 15-line traceable format, that ‘facilitates for a unique combination of visual, auditory, and kinaesthetic/tactile learning styles’. But is it just an unnecessary gimmick designed to play with…
I’ve created and shared a lot of Hifz tools lately and I’ve not shown any signs of stopping. Today, I’m excited to introduce the Hifz Buddy Finder. This search engine completely changes the approach we’ve been taking so far but also imbues the journey with a sense of community and support. Community is at the…
Marriage often elicits mixed reactions; for some, it’s a subject they shy away from, while for others, it’s a constant presence in their thoughts. In modern times, the notion of marriage has become fraught with complexities and blurred understanding. Marriage takes effort and dedication, yes, it’s a matter of personal choice, and for many, this…
What’s the best way to memorize Qur’ān? How can I consolidate my Hifdh? How can teachers help students overcome boredom? Fatigue? Missed days? How can you engage with Qur’ān beyond memorisation, with interactive learning? These are the questions that the Hifdh Workbook seeks to address. Al-Itqan recently sent me a copy of their Juz 1-5…
I have always stressed the importance of community and for us, a Hifz community is of utmost importance. As someone deeply immersed in the Hifz community, I often come across invaluable Hifz tips, advice, and methods shared in our groups. Realising that not everyone has access to these conversations, I decided to create a comprehensive…
In the quest to memorise the Qur’ān, many students struggle with perfection. I get it. It’s a constant battle to get that flawless recitation and retention. But, an excessive focus on perfection can be a daunting and often an unattainable goal, leading to frustration and burnout. Instead, you should be focusing on ‘Ihsaan’—excellence or spiritual…
Over the past year, we’ve followed at least 7 different Hifz diaries on a weekly basis. One of the most common challenges we’ve seen is procrastination. A subject that is widely discussed and typically sits right at the top of our goals list. Let’s face the facts. We’ve all procrastinated with something in our lives….
Imagine being born blind, unable to see the words of the Qur’ān before you. Imagine being unable to speak, your voice silenced.
