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…
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…
Teaching students who have special educational needs, and disabilities (SEND) Qur’ān is something that is greatly overlooked in our communities. Yet this is something that’s becoming increasingly prevalent. I’ve had messages about resources on how to identify or help with the recognition of delay, dyslexia, and ADHD for teachers. I’ve had others asking about methods…
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…
How do you make a pure intention before starting your journey of Qur’ān memorisation? How do you make it exclusively for the sake of Allāh? How do you protect yourself from making it an act of impressing people? How do you stay away from doubts and from having mixed intentions that pull you away from…
We live in a time where there are more than 11 billion distractions. A time where we are hearing slogans such as, “work less, do more” or “work less, live more”. We live in a time where we are targeted with a movement and a system that is designed to steal our time. A system…

Recently I met a Hifz student at a local madrasah who had several challenges. Within 5 or more years, he had memorised 2 Juz’. He was a high school student. So I wanted to know what was going on. So I observed him at the madrasah over a period of six months. The classroom environment,…
There are so many of us that have to have some form of sugar, no matter what. Grab that box of sweets and chocolate. Grab that bag of treats. Breakfast will be full of sugar, lunch will be full of sugar and even dinner. Snacks and drinks full of sugar span across our day and…
There are a number of challenges that one can face while memorising the Qur’ān in a way that is secretive. Perhaps, you’re memorising the Qur’ān but you’ve decided not to tell your husband, your wife, your parents, or family. Are you memorising the Qur’an and have decided not to tell anyone else? Are you scared…
We all know the importance of seeking knowledge (‘ilm) has in our Deen. It is central to Islam. We learn the words of Hadīth that describe the gatherings of paradise being gatherings of knowledge where you should sit and eat an ample amount (of knowledge).
