Why Memorize the Qur’an (Ḥifẓ)?
What is ḥifẓ?
Ḥifẓ means preserving Allah’s words in the heart and on the tongue through systematic memorization and review.
Why it matters:
- Strengthens worship and connects the Qur’an deeply to daily prayers.
- Builds family routines of faith, especially for children growing up in North America.
- Allah promises ease in remembrance (Al-Qamar 54:17) and instructs measured recitation (Al-Muzzammil 73:4).
- Benefits include clarity in prayer, stronger Arabic skills, family bonding, and lifelong spiritual growth.
Popular starting point: Many begin with Surah Yā Sīn for its rhythm and frequent recitation. Others start with Juz ʿAmma for quick confidence.
The M.A.P.S.™ Framework (Ijazaah Academy Method)
Our proven system helps learners memorize and retain the Qur’an:
- M — Measured Recitation: Learn tajwīd and makhārij correctly from day one with a qualified teacher.
- A — Active Recall: Work in small chunks (1–3 lines). Recite with the muṣḥaf open, then from memory.
- P — Planned Review: Rotate new → recent → old passages daily to prevent forgetting.
- S — Support & Schedule: Three live sessions per week plus short daily practice builds steady, lasting progress.
📌 Example weekly rhythm for adults in the USA/Canada:
- Mon–Thu: 15–25 new lines + short review
- Fri–Sat: longer review (½ juz)
- Sun: light review + preview next passage
