The Easiest Way to Memorise the Noble Qur’an

The Easiest Way to Memorise the Noble Qur’an

By Shaykh ‘Abd al-Muhsin bin Muhammad al-Qasim [Imam & Khatib in the Masjid of the Prophet [sall-Allahu alayhi wa sallam]]
Translated by Abu ‘Abd as-Salam Siddiq al-Juyani

All praise and thanks belongs to Allah and may the peace and blessings be upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family and all of his companions.

The following method [for memorising the Qur’an] is distinguished due to its facilitation of a well grounded and strong memorisation of the entire Qur’an in a relatively short period of time.

1. Recite the first verse 20 times.
2. Recite the second verse 20 times.
3. Recite the third verse 20 times.
4. Recite the fourth verse 20 times.
5. Recite these four verses together 20 times to fortify the order of verses [1-4].
6. Recite the fifth verse 20 times.
7. Recite the sixth verse 20 times.
8. Recite the seventh verse 20 times.
9. Recite the eighth verse 20 times.
10. Recite verses five to eight 20 times to fortify the order of verses [5-8].
11. Recite verses one to eight 20 times to solidify the memorisation of this page.

Similarly, utilise this method for every page of the Qur’an, however do not exceed eight verses in a day [or one page] so that the portion memorised will not increase which may result in a weakening of the memorisation of the said portion.

Q: If I wanted to memorise a new page the following day, how will I accomplish this?

A: If you want to proceed to a new page the following day; first start by reciting the previous page 20 times to fortify the memorisation of that page, then proceed to memorise the new page utilising the method I previously mentioned.
