The memorization cycle
- New lesson (sabaq): a new portion each class
- Recent revision (sabqi): the last few portions
- Older revision (manzil): everything memorized before

About this subject
Hifz-e-Quran is memorizing the Quran by heart. Some learners aim to memorize all of it; others start with selected surahs. Either way, the tutor and the family agree a plan that suits the learner's age and routine.
Hifz is memorization of the Arabic text with correct recitation. Understanding the meaning is a separate subject (Quran Translation or Tafseer), which some families add alongside.
- Focus
- MemorizationLearning passages of the Quran by heart and keeping them through regular revision.
- How it differs from other subjects
- Hifz is memorization with correct recitation. It does not by itself teach the meaning of what is memorized; that is covered in Quran Translation and Tafseer.

- Learners who read the Quran fluently from the page
- Children whose families want a memorization routine that fits around school

Memorization takes time and steady revision
How much a learner memorizes, and how quickly, depends on age, routine and daily revision. We agree a plan with the family and review it as lessons go on, but we do not promise completion of the Quran, or of any portion, by a set date.
Learning objectives
- Memorize new portions accurately, with correct recitation
- Keep memorized portions through a regular revision cycle
- Recite memorized portions from memory to the tutor
- Build a daily routine that fits school, work and family life
These are goals to work towards, not promises. Progress depends on the learner’s starting point, age and regular practice, and we do not set a fixed timeframe.
Topics covered
An outline, not a fixed syllabus. What is covered, and in what order, is planned around the learner.
Planning
- Choosing where to start, often with shorter surahs
- Setting a daily amount the learner can keep up
- Adjusting the plan as the learner progresses
How lessons may be structured
Lesson length, the number of classes a week and the pace are agreed with you before lessons begin.
Revision comes first
Memorized portions fade without revision, so every class checks old and recent portions before a new one is added.
Accuracy before speed
A new portion is accepted when it is recited correctly. The amount per lesson is set by what the learner can keep, not by a target.
Families kept informed
Parents of younger learners hear what was memorized and what to revise at home before the next class.

Frequently asked questions
How long does it take to complete Hifz?
There is no fixed answer. It depends on the learner's age, how many classes they have and how much they revise each day. We agree a realistic plan and adjust it, but we do not guarantee completion or a finishing date.
Do we have to aim for the whole Quran?
No. Many learners start with selected surahs. Whether to work towards the whole Quran is the family's choice, and it can be decided later.
Why is so much of each class revision?
Memorized portions fade without regular revision, so keeping what is already memorized is part of the work, not an extra.
Does Hifz include learning the meaning?
Not by itself. Hifz is memorization with correct recitation. Some families add Quran Translation or Tafseer alongside.
How do we know if a learner is ready to start Hifz?
Usually a learner should read the Quran fluently first, and correct pronunciation helps. In the free first class, the tutor listens to the learner read and suggests whether to begin Hifz or build reading or Tajweed first.
