Now, if you’re anything like most people, you’ve probably mentally written down your action plan. It could sound something like this.
Wake up half an hour earlier before Fajr prayers to memorize 10 ayahs. After Maghrib, spend another half an hour revising the 10 ayahs memorized in the morning. Repeat this for a month, and you would have memorized Surah Al-Baqarah. It sounds like a good plan.
But then, well, life happens. You went to bed late last night and slept through the alarm. Somebody calls you after Maghrib. Maybe you have to stay back late at work. Or the kids fall sick. And whatever else that throws you off course from your action plan. Eventually, you give up and resign that it’s just “too hard”. I know what it’s like.
