Anyone interested in creating a family subscription group? Cost comes to 28 GBP per person.

I have important exams going on right now for about a month and I’m struggling A LOT with keeping up with my hifdh and murajah. I need to put more time into my exams than hifdh this month but obviously I don’t want to completely neglect my hifdh, any advice on how I can maintain hifdh/murajah while having exams?

Do I stop memorising this month and just do murajah or do I decrease my memorisation amount or what😔

Assalamu alaikum everyone,

For the past 2 months I’ve been building an iOS app called QuranNotes as a solo developer.

It started from something I was struggling with personally.

I had Quran apps, adhkar apps, prayer apps, note apps, and habit trackers. I felt scattered. There was no one single place where I could actually read, memorize, understand and clarify.

Not just read an ayah and move on. I wanted something that helped me reflect, write notes, understand what I’m reading, remember Allah more often, and build consistency over time.

So I started building QuranNotes.

What QuranNotes is trying to be

The goal is not just to be another Quran reader.

I’m trying to build a modern Quran companion that helps with:

• reading the Quran
• reflecting on ayat
• understanding meanings through tafsir
• journaling personal thoughts
• remembering Allah through adhkar
• tracking khatma progress
• building a more consistent relationship with the Quran

Basically, one place to engage with the Quran more thoughtfully in daily life.

✨ What’s inside right now

Some of the features currently available:

📖 Quran reading with Uthmani script and translations
📝 Verse reflections and journaling on any ayah
🔖 Bookmarks for verses and hadith
📚 Tafsir access when you want more context and your personal AI assistant
🌙 Morning and evening adhkar with a counter
✅ Khatma tracking to follow your Quran completion progress
🎧 Audio recitation with multiple reciters
💭 Mood-based verse recommendations
☀️ Daily verse and daily hadith
🕌 Prayer time widgets
📤 Shareable verse and hadith cards

I wanted the experience to feel calm, modern, and intentional, not cluttered or overwhelming, and so the design reflects exactly that.

🤖 Exciting features

I’ve built Noor AI, which helps clarify Quran-related questions quickly using grounded Islamic sources.

The goal is not to replace scholars or proper tafsir. It’s more for those moments where you read something and think:

“Wait, what does this mean?”
“How should I understand this ayah?”
“What are the key themes in this surah?”
“What is the context here?”

On the technical side, I grounded Noor AI using a RAG system, so instead of answering from the model’s general memory, it retrieves relevant source material first from Ibn Kathir and Al Sa'adi and uses that context to generate the response. This helps keep the answers more tied to trusted references and reduces the risk of random or unverified explanations.

I’m also working on a Focus Mode feature.

The idea is simple: if you choose to opt in, you can reduce time on distracting apps and redirect that time toward Quran, adhkar, reflection, or reading.

Less doomscrolling, more time with Allah.

🙏 Why I’m posting here

I know there are already many Quran apps, and a lot of them are amazing.

But I felt there was still room for something more focused on reflection, consistency, and actually understanding what we read.

The app is free to download on iOS right now, with no ads and with a lifetime access option available.

I’d genuinely love feedback from this community.

- What would make you open a Quran app every day?
- What features feel useful?
- What would you remove or improve?
- And what do you feel current Quran apps are still missing?

JazakAllah khair 🤲

it always feels like you managed to just get it out in this particular sitting due to some preparation.

and when time lapses its weak again when you come back to it in your cycle.

is this due to weak memory or common for everyone?

Title.

Alhamdulillah, hifdh is not difficult for me as in, learning and revising is relatively easy Alhamdulillah but I have absolutely no motivation for it at all. Like, ill sit there give myself my hour to learn and 10 minutes in im bored. So I just don't do it.

My hifdh ustaadh is super soft, he literally doesnt say anything, you have to put the effort. I can simply say im not giving sabak and his like okay. And my revising teacher, shes soft too.I havent revised in SO long.

I feel like im wasting my potential, but there's no urgency for it in my brain, because teachers are soft, I have no inner pressure, im not even in a competitive environment at all.

And my intentions are ofcourse for Allah, but I get bored memorizing and memorizing. Maybe im a phone addict and overly stimulated??

Assalam Alaikum,

I’m looking for a PDF of the exact Madinah Mushaf layout I use for hifdh/memorization.

Specs:

* Madinah Mushaf
* 604 pages
* 15 lines per page
* 1405 Hijri edition
* King Fahd Complex
* Similar to the “Medina Mushaf Classic” on Quran.com/Quran app

My issue is NOT the text itself, but the visual/page layout.

I’ve found many PDFs online, but some have different ayah placements and spacing near the later ajza’ and shorter surahs.
I keep running into the 1421 issue and if I cannot find it then I may have to switch quickly before proceeding in my journey.
Since visual memory and page mapping are really important in hifdh, I’m trying to find the exact matching PDF/layout to stay consistent.

Does anyone have the authentic PDF, or a scan, preferably directly from the King Fahd Complex or matching the old 1405H layout exactly.
I have tried other sites but they are suspicious with silly mistakes.

Jazakum Allahu khayran.

Asalam u alaikum, I am a Hifz student currently on the 9th Juz of the Quran, but my previous 3-8 Juz is pretty weak any tips, because I focus more on sabq and sabqi (from start of juz to sabq)I take to much time on that, that i dont get time to cover my manzil any tips?

Assalamo alikum

I try to revise my hifth with my teacher. I meet with my teacher once a week and recite to him from memory for around 1 hour.

The problem is I start getting pain in my neck and head around 20-30 mins into the recitation.

I’m facing this problem for a long time. I’ve seen multiple doctors and they suggested me to do physiotherapy.

I want to be able to recite Qur’an without pain.

Assalamoalaikum

I encountered my first ayat-ul-sadja. I'm wondering what the sajda obligation is when we memorize. I often have to learn specific words and phrases and then recite repeatedly to memorize. I'm worried I will under-do or over-do or delay the sadja.

Any advice on this is really helpful!

I memorized it a long time ago but I've mostly forgotten it. I just started trying to re-memorize it today, by myself. Are there any tips you have so I can keep my memorization accurate and then remember it well for the future? جزاكم الله خير
