Working moms definitely have a busy schedule and double the work; at home and job! If they intend to memorize the Quran on their own, they need to have a strong motivation and dedicated spirit to pursue this goal along with their 24/7 duty with kids. All they have to do is to manage their time for everything efficiently, then, targeting the hifz dream slowly and gradually will work in their favour. They also need to have a proper plan for the portions they want to memorize. There must be a routine for hifz which must be followed very religiously if you as working moms want to complete your hifz and become a hafiza.
Easy Memorization Routine for Working Moms
Hifz Academy has brought you a list of tips that will teach you how to efficiently memorize the Quran with busy schedules.
1. Deciding on what and How to Hifz
Initializing your hifz journey without any clear plan or intention will create trouble in the long run. Sisters who are working moms must decide first how much they want to memorize (depending upon their learning capacity). We recommend keeping a small goal in mind and following it religiously to see how it works with your busy routine.
As far as how will you be learning those selective portions, read our detailed guide to Quran memorization techniques to learn with excellent retention.
2. Getting a Plan that Suits the Routine
Being a working mom with multiple tasks coming their way, we recommend getting a work-friendly hifz plan that can easily fix in your work routine. Let’s suppose you have an infant or a toddler to look after, and you work as well, so you barely get some time out for hifz. Ideally speaking, such ladies can get a hifz plan based on weekends only when they have off from work and can spare an hour for the weekend hifz class. Either take a 3-verse plan, a half-page plan, or a whole-page plan. It all depends on your commitment to accomplish the goals.
3. Allocating a Fixed Time for Hifz
It is recommended to fix a time for your hifz class for sisters to keep everything smooth throughout the day. If you switch time slots daily (morning to noon, noon to evening), you will have a hassle every day to face. So, allocate a fixed time for your class on weekends and get free at that time to memorize and revise your lessons. For example, if you fix a time for hifz after Isha when your kids are asleep and no pending work is remaining, then follow that time slot every day. If dawn time works best for you, fix that for hifz. Try allocating the time when you are the most active and fresh!
4. Isolating in a Quiet Place for Concentration
You have to ensure that your hifz routine is in harmony with your work and kids’ routine. To save some time for yourself and your kids at home, try fixing a spot where no one can disturb you for at least an hour. Your family must know you have a class and they need to cooperate. Also, isolating yourself somewhere in peace will help you concentrate fully and memorize verses more efficiently.
5. Revising Portions at Work
Super busy moms are covered here, as we suggest not allocating a revision slot in your off-job hours, but rather managing to revise your memorized portions while being at work. Be it your lunch time, drive time, prayer time, or any such rest break at work, just recite the verses 3 times whenever you get time. It is best to play the audio note of your lesson while traveling to the workplace. You can also revise your lessons in your prayers and they will not consume extra time and effort.
6. Prioritizing Your Main Goals
If hifz is your main goal then you need to prioritise it. Compromise on your sleep, on your scroll-time, on your extra activities that are just for enjoyment (at least for an hour when it is your online hifz class). Once you are done with your daily lesson, you have the whole day for other tasks and there will be no burden on you.
7. Staying Determined and Passionate
The working sisters will feel bound when it comes to hifz, we bear this fact in mind that is why we suggest staying determined and passionate. Focus on the ultimate goal and not on the hurdles or difficulties you face. Once you reach the goal with your efforts and divine help, you will feel proud of yourself.
