Assalaamualikum Friend,
Quran Memorization is one of the most honourable activities. When we hear or read about the achievements of people memorizing the Quran at all ages, we are encouraged and the task appears doable. Though the story becomes different when we actually think about it by looking at all 114 surahs and more than 6000 verses, the task appears as daunting as climbing Mount Everest.
There was the journey of a brother who memorized the Quran in nearly 7 months. It all happened one day when he was sitting in the masjid after salah where he saw a group of men getting together with the Sheikh to begin their memorization. He was so mesmerized by the sight that he asked them to include him in their group. From then on, he never looked back. It took him 7 months to memorize the Quran, subhanAllah!

Is Quran memorization difficult or easy? The truth is, that neither is it difficult nor is it easy. It is simply a task. To succeed at a task on hand, what we desperately need is the help of Allah (SWT), for without His help, indeed nothing is possible. As Allah (SWT) says, “ …Indeed, Allah will not change the condition of a people until they change what is in themselves…” [Surah Ra’d : 11]
So let’s look at some tips to get Allah (SWT)’s help in Quran Memorization:
Tip #1: Intentions — Set Them and Set Them Right
According to productivity gurus, one of the key ways to achieve your goals is to set your intentions before you begin a task. Pen down your intentions, and keep visiting them before you begin, or when you feel demotivated. This would be really helpful to ask yourself why you want to memorize Quran. You can glue it to your mushaf that you are memorizing from, or make it a bookmark.
In addition to helping you to be more productive, it will also help you to attain reward for your good intentions.
P.S. If you haven't checked out the QA Inner Circle to help you read fluently, beautifully and memorise masterfully, I would highly recommend it. Learn more here:
