    The method in five steps

    Memorize the Quran
    1. Read and listen

      Read the portion while following a reciter, verse by verse, until you can say it without hesitation.

    2. Repeat

      Repeat each verse several times with a pause to say it after the reciter, then join the verses together.

    3. Hide

      Hide one word in three, then two in three, then keep only the first letters, and finally the whole text.

    4. Recite

      Recite from memory: get tested on what follows a random verse, record yourself or recite to someone.

    5. Review

      Come back to each portion the next day, then at longer and longer intervals, and review before learning something new.
