The Correct Method for Improving Qur'anic Recitation and Memorization

Question:
The questioner asks: What is the correct method for improving one's recitation of the Qur'an and then memorizing it in the proper way?

Answer:
The correct method is for a person to strive to receive it from someone who has memorized the Qur'an and possesses knowledge of tajwid (the rules of Qur'anic recitation), so that his recitation becomes correct, his tongue becomes correct, and he recites the Qur'an as Allah commanded, in His saying: "And recite the Qur'an with measured recitation." The method in this is to strive to receive it first from the memorizing teacher and read it to him by sight. Then, after he has read it to him by sight and mastered it by sight, he repeats it until its memorization becomes settled in his heart. Some of our shaykhs (scholars) order the reciter to repeat it eighty times until it becomes settled and so that it does not slip away from him. Yes.
