How Umm Khalid memorised the Qur’ān She narrates her story as follows: Before I talk about my own start memorizing the Qurān, let me begin…
Self-testing is a technique that can improve your recall and Qur’ān memorisation retention. We use tests to show us how much we know but when done regularly they can actually help improve long-term memory. In this article, I will share what self-testing is in the context of Qur’ān memorization (Hifz) and what an effective method…
When it comes to the memorisation of the Qur’ān, one of the major things that help is using the same Mus’haf (copy of the Qur’ān) to memorise. This is a piece of advice you will see everywhere. When you memorise something of the Qur’ān you may find it being saved as a picture in your…
Having positive self-belief and positive affirmations is important for your journey in memorising the Qur’ān. When one is shrouded by a limiting belief it has a knock-on effect on how productive you can be with hifz. When I doubted myself and felt guilt, and wanted to quit.

Let me start with some personal memories. In 2001, I used to go to a local mosque to do Hifdh. I witnessed things unworthy of mention. Believe me, I saw it all. I left. I went to another mosque and the same thing happened. I left. There were no role models who inspired the kids….

Do you need a teacher? Can you memorise the Qur’ān by yourself? These are questions that I am always asked. In this article, I want to share the answer. In 2020, I asked over 1000+ people if they were doing hifz with a teacher or not. The overwhelming majority at the time responded with a…
“We learn that reciting the Qur’ān itself is a means of increasing memory. Guess what? Notice how we start rocking whilst memorising. Research suggests this rocking increases brain activity and blood flow which leads to improved memory and focus. It also induces better sleep which also leads to improved memory!

“Become a millionaire!” Many of us when setting out in the noble pursuit of memorising the Qur’ān think deeply about the ‘why.’ I have explored this previously.
