Hifz of Quran Pak – Memorizing the Quran Pak, meaning learning it by heart, is one of the best deeds. We know, Alhamdulillah, that in madaris all over the world, children are memorizing Quran Pak and dedicating their time to spreading Allah’s light. In today’s era, teaching children with proper tips and guidance is very important because children nowadays understand quickly and respond immediately. Here, we discuss the stages of Hifz-e-Quran and how to complete them easily and successfully.

Daily Memorization Routine

Just like we understand and practice any task before doing it so that it becomes easy for us and we don’t get confused, it is equally important to read, memorize, and revise the Quran daily. We see that in schools, children are given lessons to memorize on a daily basis, and regular tests are conducted so that they don’t forget the previous lessons and stay up to date.

The same routine applies to Quran memorization – the previous lessons are repeated and revised daily so that children do not forget them. If we only focus on moving forward and ignore the earlier lessons, they will be forgotten. Many people think that easy lessons don’t need to be repeated, but this is not correct – even the easiest lessons are forgotten if not revised regularly.

Similarly, memorizing the Quran requires daily revision of previous lessons. Parents who are enrolling their children in an online Quran academy should ensure that their children have fully memorized their previous lessons. And for those who are already hafiz, following the proper order and routine of the Quran is essential. InshaAllah, if we follow this practice consistently, we will benefit greatly, and the process of memorization will become easier and more successful.

Reviewing Previously Learned Surahs

Memorizing the Quran is one of the best deeds, and the process is simple if followed correctly. Just like we understand and practice any task before doing it to avoid confusion, it is very important to read, memorize, and revise the Quran daily. In madaris and schools around the world, children follow a structured routine where daily lessons are assigned, reviewed the next day, and previous lessons are consistently revised to ensure nothing is forgotten. Even easy portions must be repeated, because without revision, they can be forgotten over time. For example, if a child is on the 24th Juz, their daily lesson will include parts of the 24th Juz, which they recite and revise, while also reviewing the previous portions, and then gradually move to the 25th Juz. This method, followed globally, ensures that children memorize the Quran step by step without difficulty. Parents who enroll their children in online Quran academies should ensure that this routine is maintained. InshaAllah, by following this method consistently, the child can complete the memorization of the Quran successfully and easily.

Avoid Distractions While Hifz

While memorizing the Quran or guiding children through Hifz, it is very important to keep in mind that keeping children away from school during this period can be beneficial. Memorizing the Quran by heart requires significant mental effort, focus, and time. If parents place the additional burden of school on children at the same time, it may affect their ability to memorize the Quran properly. If parents do not prefer full-time Hifz and want their child to continue school as well, they should first ask the child whether they can manage both. In most cases, parents force children into managing both responsibilities, and due to fear, the child remains silent and ends up carrying excessive mental pressure. In today’s time, MashaAllah, many children complete Hifz within 1 to 1.5 years, and taking a one-year break from school is not a major issue, as it allows the child to memorize the Quran with proper focus and peace of mind. Parents should always communicate with their children, ask them about their capacity, and explain the benefits of Hifz to create interest and motivation within them.

Encouragement and Rewards for Kids

The best way to encourage children toward any good habit is to present it to them in the form of a story. Stories create curiosity in children and help them see themselves as the hero of that story. When a story is narrated, children feel as if they are part of it, which positively engages their imagination and mind. However, harsh behavior such as anger, shouting, or physical punishment damages a child’s mental peace and can lead to feelings of inferiority and even hatred toward parents or teachers. Children should be taught with love, care, and kindness, and they should be treated gently and respectfully. Children are innocent, pure, and free from sins, which is why forcing them into any task—even a religious one—is wrong. A better approach is to guide them with love, for example by saying, “My dear child, you are growing up now, come and pray with me.” When children are guided this way, they naturally develop the habit and begin practicing without being told. Gradually, they should be made aware that Allah rewards them with double reward and grants higher ranks in Jannah. InshaAllah, when children are nurtured with love and understanding, they will willingly and happily strive in the path of Deen.
