INTRODUCTION

Brother and sisters in islam Keep in mind that memorizing the Qurʾān is a great task that requires a lengthy commitment. The Prophet Muhammad ﷺ was asked what actions were most beloved to Allāh. He said the ones that are most consistent, even if they are small. Remember: a little that is consistent is better than a great deal that is cut off!

The Qur'an comprehends the complete code for the Muslims to live a good, chaste, abundant and rewarding life in obedience to the commandments of Allah, in this life and to gain salvation in the next. It is the "chart of life" for every Muslim, and it is the "constitution" of the Kingdom of Heaven on Earth.

THE SIMPLE WAYS OF MEMORIZING THE GLORIOUS QUR’AN

This are the ways I use during my qur’anic memorization and I want you to know that I memorize qur’an since when I’m age of 16 so the method that I will like to share with you will be expounded upon below.

. 1. Sincerity. The first matter you have to pay attention to is your intention (if you intend good you will get good). Make sure that the intention you are making is only for the sake of Allāh SWT, to seek His Pleasure so that inshā'Allāh, with His Mercy, we will be rewarded in the Aakhirah. It is not to show off in front of others that you have memorized a lot.

2. Consistency. The more frequently you memorize, the easier it becomes. It is very essential to be consistent, and not to skip even one day. There is no Week-end in worship. The bare minimum that one should memorize is at least 3 lines, 5 is more ideal. If you are consistent, inshā'Allāh, you will be able to be huffadh in 5-6 years
3. Timing. The first thing you should do in the day is memorize even do so before your breakfast, because this is your spiritual breakfast. The best time to memorize is right after Fajr. . (that why I  used to take one hour to memorize a page in the beginning, and eventually came down to 15-20 minutes)
4. Atmosphere. Have a secluded place to go to and memorize in a place that is quiet and the bes place is mosque.
5. Familiarity: start at the same time, at the same place and use the same mushaf every day. You need to have your own copy of the Mushaf (the Madani Mushaf is highly recommended), it will later become so dear to you.
6. Find a recitation partner (a friend): get a friend, a family member or someone you know who will listen to your recitation every day. Ideally, get someone who is also memorizing to create a peer pressure system.
7. Recite daily in your Salāh what you have memorized. If you forget one portion, you will immediately rush towards the Qur'an and correct your mistake and you will never do this mistake again.
8. Do not jump around. Be consistent. Don't try to go to another surah if you find it difficult and stick to the order. That way, you will have the satisfaction of having completed a juz rather than leaving some portions here and there.
9.The three chunks. Start from the back. Shorter surahs will bring you a big boost. You should divide the memorization of the Qur’an in three parts which are:
a) Juz 28, 29, 30 or just Juz 29, 30
b) Surah Al-Kahf till Juz 28
c) Surah Al-Baqara to Surah Al-Kahf

with this method insha Allah you can memorize qur’an and the qur’an will be more simple and easy for you insha Allah and you note that you most follow also the method of memorizing qur’an ,you know  this are the ways but if you like to read them simple search go to google and type “method of memorizing qur’an” and insha Allah you will get more about it.
