What is the best method for memorizing the Noble Qur'an?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : I want to memorize the Qur'an, but I do not know what method I should use to memorize it. May Allah reward you with good.
The Shaykh : The method by which a person memorizes the Qur'an varies according to the person's condition and the condition of the teacher who listens to him. Among its methods are:
That a person memorizes every five verses separately, and does not move on to what follows until he has mastered them completely.
And among them is that he memorizes a full page and then reviews it. The important thing is that a person should adopt in his memorization of the Qur'an what suits him.
But he must review the Qur'an, because the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said:Sahih Muslim 791 Reviewing the Qur'an may be by a person reading it to himself alone, or it may be by participating with one of his companions to review it together. The companion holds the mushaf in his hand and the other reads, and then the reverse happens.
And the important thing is that these are matters in which there is no explicit text to be followed, but rather they were left to the person's condition.
The questioner : May Allah reward you, O honorable Shaykh, and may Allah bless you and your knowledge, and benefit the Muslims through you.

Keep refreshing your knowledge of the Qur'an, for I swear by Him in Whose Hand is the life of Mahammad that it is more liable to escape than camels which are hobbled.
تعاهدوا القرآن، فوالذي نفسي بيده لهو أشد تفلتاً من الإبل في عقلهاAnd the important thing is that these are matters in which there is no explicit text to be followed, but rather they were left to the person's condition.
