At Quran Academy, we know you want to memorize the Quran as efficiently as possible. This is why we are dedicated to provide you with the best advice and resources for doing so.
You can apply this technique to any verse or Surah you wish to memorize. However, you should note that in order to gain maximum benefit, it is crucial to stick to this technique for a long period of time. Quran memorization is a gradual process and requires dedicated effort over many months or years. Through this technique, your journey to Quran memorization will be a seamless effort.
Here are the four steps to this technique:
1. Read
2. Repeat
3. Retain
4. Remember
1. Read
Focus on the verse you want to memorize and read it multiple times. Read it looking inside at least six to ten times. This is to familiarise yourself with the verse, and let it settle into your short term memory. Do this for every verse that you wish to memorize. The goal at this stage is familiarity, correct Tajweed, and being able to recite it fluently. Once these goals are achieved, move on to the next step.
2. Repeat
Now take the same verse and repeat it from your memory six to ten times. Try to recite it without looking inside. If you slip a few times, don’t worry about it. It’s all part of the memorization process. Just look inside one more time, then try reciting it from your memory six times again. Keep repeating it until you have memorized it properly. Now move on to the next verse and do the same thing again. The goal here is to commit the verse to your long term memory through constant repetition.
