Memorizing the Quran is one of the most blessed journeys you could embark on. It benefits your physical and mental well-being and your spiritual growth. If you’re a beginner looking for a comprehensive guide to hifz, Hifz Academy has got you covered. Once you complete this guide, you will know how to begin this journey. The guide includes the necessary steps to take before starting memorization. This detailed procedure encompasses basic exercises, schedules, timetables, revisions, tests, tracking, and the best hifz courses categorized by age and gender.
3 Pre-requisites for Quran memorization
To take Quran memorization seriously, you must fulfil these three requirements to ensure efficient and effective hifz that will stay with you forever. Make sure to excel in all three points before starting your hifz classes.
1. Learn to Read Quran (Noorani Qaida)
The first requirement for memorizing the Quran is to be able to read Quranic Arabic fluently. Non-Arabs often struggle when they read Quranic Arabic due to the language barrier. Sometimes, they mispronounce the words in their native accent, which leads to a difference in pronunciation and changes the meaning of the word. Therefore, the Noorani Qaida is the initial step to take in this process. This short booklet contains all the exercises and basic rules that will help you read the Quran easily and fluently by learning the correct pronunciation of the words.
2. Learn Tajweed Rules with Practice
After completing your Noorani Qaida, the next important step is to learn the basic-to-advanced Tajweed rules. These rules will help you perfect your Quran recitation. It’s crucial to practice Tajweed rules while reciting any Surah of the Quran. This ensures that when you memorize those Surahs, you already know how to read them perfectly. These requirements are particularly important for non-Arabs due to their different native languages.
3. Understand the Meaning of the Quran (Tafseer)
In this case, you have some flexibility, as we do not require you to complete a detailed tafseer course before memorization. All you need to do is read a summary of each Surah or listen to their tafseer online to understand the main themes, central ideas, topics, and requirements in that Surah. Some people take tafseer classes alongside their hifz course, while others study tafseer first to better understand the Arabic words.
