Bismillah
Here’s my Qur’an story summarised with my tips.
First of all, Alhamdulillah … Alhamdulillah.. Allah has blessed me with this great Amanah (trust) and this great gift.. Alhamdulilah.. And I ask Him humbly to allow me two things: to revise the Qur’an, and to inspire others. May Allah bless you with this great gift. It can be done. All you need is determination and dua. You don’t even need all the time in the world.
It was a crash-memorization camp, and Alhamdulillah/Masha’Allah I finished in about 2 months and half. Alhamdulillah I was on vacation for part of my memorisation journey, but for the majority I was busy, still going to school (the hospital, 5 days a week). Still having to see patients, still getting in trouble with doctors for slacking off. Although I wasn’t studying, time really was not on my side — but I realised that’s not what’s most important. Many girls in the actual camp finished in 2 months, and the first girl finished in one month. It really is possible!
I was supposed to finish in 2 months exactly — 10 pages a day. Most days I could do this, but on days I couldn’t I would make it up the next day if possible.. which is fine- still worth it. Still, make your goal big.. Reach for the moon and you will land among the stars!
Here’s the general idea:
Here are my humble tips:
Seek help from Allah.
Make du’ a. When you reach Juz 7 (Juz is a part, also known as a para/supara).. or 14.. or anything.. and you start to lose motivation- turn to him. They are His words and He alone can teach you them.
