Advice
- Get started today, because in a month's time your motivation won't be that strong anymore.
- Practice the verses you have memorized in your Fard (mandatory) and Sunnah (optional) prayers.
- This will stop Shaitan, the outcast, and allow you to continue memorizing.
- Try to recite all the verses you have memorized even before going to bed.
- Start slowly to avoid getting discouraged.
- Recite أعوذ بالله من الشيطان الرجيم
- Moments of the day: The best time to memorize the Quran is after Fajr (Dawn Prayer), because your mind is still free of worries.
- Always recite the verses you have memorized even after the Fard prayers (mandatory).
- "Seeking Refuge with Allah Against Shaytan the Accursed"
- You will soon be able to memorize an entire page in an hour.
- Stop doing Google searches on how to memorize the Quran, and start memorizing right away.
- Duration: Memorizing a verse should take you about 30 minutes. The ideal for beginners is to start with 5 verses a day. (3 verses if you start from Sura Al Baqarah)
- Make a plea (du'aa) to Allah for His help, and your plea, insh'Allah, will be answered.
- Venue: The best place to practice Koran memorization is the mosque (masjid), but if not possible, choose a quiet place with as few distractions as possible.
- Above all, don't give up. Memorizing can seem difficult at times, but it isn't. It is Shaitan [Satan] who is telling you this. Don't listen to him. Allah himself says in the Qur'an "Indeed we have made the Quran easy, to serve as a warning to you"
- You can download the verses from this site. (https://corpus.quran.com/translation.jsp)
- Another trick is to download the verses you have learned and play them with your music player (Real-Player, Windows Media Player, etc.) in continuous mode. In this way, the words of the verse will penetrate your subconscious.

- Stay away from sin and practice sincere repentance for all your past sins.
- Always carry a bottle of water with you, to avoid straying from the Quran.
