I don’t know of any Islamic discipline that has as many books dedicated to it as Tajweed does. There’s always someone writing one. One of the possible reasons for this is that Tajweed has taken a dip in our communities.From the 1940s to the 1980/90s, there had been an absence of Tajweed even among Arabs/North…
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…
Recently, I spoke about marriage as a means to becoming a Hāfidh. I introduced a new project that I started following requests from members of our community. Well today, I’m thrilled to introduce “Finding My Half,” a groundbreaking search engine designed to help you find someone in the way of marriage. As someone deeply committed…
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…
What are the best Hifz books? What are the best books you can read on memorising the Qur’ān? In the Hifz community groups, we often find messages being shared about your favourite Hifz books. And given that I recently spoke about the impact of reading books on your memory, I deem it appropriate to share…
Listening to a reciter (Qāri’) for your Hifz (Qur’ān memorisation) cannot be underestimated. But who is the best reciter to aid your memorisation? Who is the recommended reciter to listen to? Who is best quran reciter for memorization? Choose A Qāri’ To Listen To Using Key Principles I have previously touched upon some principles as…
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…
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…
Many of you reach out to me asking for du’ā’, ad’iyāt, azkār, or awrād that you can use to help you with your Qur’ān memorisation. A du’ā’ for memory? Are there any du’ā’ that you can recite to make Hifz easier? Are there any wazā’if to help you with your memory? Are there any ways…
Bismillah. When one begins the pursuit of memorising the Qur’ān, they are not merely entering a journey of words and verses. It’s a voyage of the heart, a profound commitment, a spiritual endeavour that, when coupled with sincere intention, becomes a path leading straight to Allāh. Yet, as any seasoned traveller would tell you, even…
As always, I’ve been experimenting with an idea. In this case, modelling a memory technique designed to optimise learning. I’ve asked the question of whether it can be used to develop a technique to help us memorise or revise the Qur’ān. Whether you consider yourself to have great memory or struggle to retain things, it’s…
Many students reach out to me about how they struggle to get things done and struggle to maintain consistency with Qur’ān memorisation. For this reason, I thought it would be beneficial to put together a list of productivity systems and productivity tips that can help you. I have shared other advice previously, so do check…
I have previously discussed matters around the Tarāwīh prayers with 10 tips to prepare and schedules for the Tarāweeh prayers. But for those who have not regularly revised the Qur’ān or led Tarāweeh prayers in the past few years, it can be difficult to regain the rhythm and pace of reciting. At times, you will…
Writing the Qur’ān as a means to help you memorise is really beneficial. As far back as 6 years ago, I used to tell students to get hold of a Qur’ān that could make it easier for you to do this. Books like the Qur’ān by Hand (بيدي رسمت حروفه وكتبت وكلماته) and others. And…
In 2014, I began writing a book called “How We Memorised The Quran: A Primer on Memorisation, Revision and Teaching.” That was a project that I eventually put on hold and eventually scrapped. Instead I have focused my efforts on teaching and writing the articles you read today, and exploring other, perhaps more beneficial initiatives…
