Our online Quran memorization program helps you memorize the Quran at a pace that fits your life, and, just as important, keep what you have memorized. Each student gets a personal Hifz plan, a teacher who hears every new portion, and a revision schedule that stops old pages from slipping away.
Memorizing is the easy part for many people. Keeping it is harder. Most students who give up don't stop because they can't memorize, but because the revision piles up and they fall behind. That is why revision is built into every class here, not left for later.
Who this program is for
- Children starting with the short surahs of Juz' Amma.
- Teenagers and adults who want to memorize specific surahs or a few Juz'.
- Students aiming for the whole Quran, with a long-term plan and regular tests.
- Huffaz who are losing their memorization and need a structured revision program.
You should be able to read the Quran with basic Tajweed before you start. If you can't yet, our Tajweed course is the right first step.
How the Hifz plan works
In the free trial class, the teacher listens to you read, checks what you already know and asks how much time you have each day. From that, you get a plan with three parts:
New memorization (sabaq)
A fixed amount to memorize each day, from a few lines to a full page, depending on your age and time. You recite it to your teacher in class.
Near revision (sabqi)
The pages you've memorized recently, usually the last one or two weeks. These are the pages most likely to be forgotten, so they're reviewed often.
Far revision (manzil)
Everything you've memorized before that, on a rotating cycle. A student who has five Juz' might revise one Juz' a day, so the whole amount is covered every week.
What happens in a class
You recite your new portion from memory. The teacher corrects any mistakes in words and Tajweed, then listens to part of your revision. Before the class ends, the teacher sets the next portion and marks any lines that need extra work.
Classes are 30, 45 or 60 minutes. Students memorizing a lot each day usually choose 45 or 60 minutes so there is time for both new memorization and revision.
How long does it take to memorize the Quran?
It depends completely on how much you memorize each day. Here is a rough idea:
| Daily new memorization | Time to finish the whole Quran |
|---|---|
| 5 lines | about 5 to 6 years |
| Half a page | about 3 to 4 years |
| 1 page | about 2 years |
| 2 pages | about 1 year |
These numbers assume steady practice, 5 days a week. Our blog post on how to memorize the Quran has full sample schedules.
Tests and certificates
At the end of each Juz', you recite it from memory in a test. If you pass, you get a certificate for that Juz'. Monthly progress reports go to the student, or to the parents for children.
Students who complete the whole Quran can move on to our Ijazah program and recite the full Quran to a certified Sheikh.

Frequently asked questions
What is the best age to start memorizing the Quran? Children can start with short surahs from around 5. But there is no upper limit. Adults memorize well too, especially with a steady daily routine.
I keep forgetting what I memorized. Can you help? Yes. Many students join us just for revision. The teacher builds a revision cycle for what you already know before adding anything new.
How much should I memorize each day? Less than you think. A small amount that you revise properly is better than a big amount you forget. Your teacher will set a realistic target in the trial class.
Which surahs should my child memorize first? Usually Al-Fatiha and the short surahs at the end of Juz' Amma. See our list of the best short surahs to memorize first.
Can I memorize without knowing Arabic? Yes. Many huffaz around the world don't speak Arabic. Knowing the meaning helps, and the teacher can explain the general meaning of what you memorize.
