Memorizing the Quran is one of the noblest and most challenging tasks that any Muslim can ever undertake. You know the nights spent trying to memorize new verses and the days you spend trying to remember what you have memorized.
For every person who is memorizing the Quran, you know how valuable it is to get a tip that helps you in your memorization journey.
What better place to get these memorization tips from, than from angel Jibril (AS) and Prophet Muhammad (SAW), seeing as angel Jibril (AS) was the first person to teach the Quran and the Prophet (SAW) was the first to memorize it?
There are some gems that we can glean from the very first revelation to the last one, and we hope that these tips can help us in our journey too.
Tip #1: Retreat and Ponder
The beginning of the revelation of the Quran started with Angel Jibril (AS) meeting with the Prophet (SAW) at the cave of Hira. Angel Jibril (AS) met him in a state of solitude, which the Prophet (SAW) was very known for. For days at a time, he would retreat to the cave to ponder.
This is the first tip for everyone memorizing the Quran– to create the habit of secluding yourself sometimes, pondering the words of Allah (ta’ala) and reciting the Quran.
