The “Takrār program” is for the memorisation and perfection of the Qur’ān located in Madinah al-Munawwarah. It is also a method that has been adopted in other countries too. Takrār means repetition. So this method is a systematic practice that is carried out through repetition regularly, orderly and with a set of practices.

The method involves a period of memorisation and a period of mastery.

First: A new memorisation course that consists of memorising one page daily. This enables one to complete the whole Qur’ān in approximately one year and eight months. Or for those wishing to complete the memorisation of the Qur’ān in ten months are required to memorise two pages daily.

Second: A period of achieving mastery that consists of perfecting three pages daily over a period of seven months, or four pages over five months. This is once you have memorised the entire Qur’ān but are yet to gain some mastery.

Both periods (memorisation and mastery) in the method are built upon three pillars which are: “memorisation”, “connection”, and “revision” not sufficing with one at the cost of another. This is basically the same as Sabaq, Sabqi and Manzil (as used in Indo/Pak/Malaysia) but with certain tweaks.

Let’s look at it.
