Memorizing is the easy part. Keeping it is where most students struggle. This is the daily revision schedule we use with our Hifz students at Rahber Institute.
Split your Hifz into three buckets
Every day, touch all three:
- Sabaq — new lesson (today's memorization)
- Sabaq Para — last 7 days of memorization
- Manzil — older memorized Juz, rotated weekly
A sample weekly plan
Mon–Fri: 1 page Sabaq + 1 Juz Sabaq Para + 1 older Juz Manzil. Saturday: full revision day, no new Sabaq. Sunday: rest or family Quran circle.
Tools that help
Mushaf with consistent page layout (15 lines). Recording your own recitation and listening at night fixes mistakes you cannot hear in real time.
Frequently asked questions
Don't double up — pick up exactly where you left off and add 10 minutes of Manzil for the next two days.
