r/Hifdh

Salaam all.

I hope you are all well. I’m wondering if anyone knows about the process to go and learn the Quran in Libya. For reference I live in the west and I can’t think of a better place to perfect my Quran and seek knowledge. I’m not Libyan by nationality so not sure how the whole visa process works. Not sure where to start either. I’ve heard from people that they have schools for international students where you can stay and live similar to a residence.

Any insights would be appreciated.

Thanks

Assalamu alaikum,

We're building a platform designed specifically for Quran teachers who already teach students online.

Most teachers today juggle Zoom or Google Meet for lessons, WhatsApp for communication, separate payment tools, calendars, PDFs, and personal notes. We're trying to bring the teaching experience into one place.

We're currently in a private beta and are looking for around 10 teachers who:

• Already teach Quran online (1-to-1 or groups)
• Have existing students
• Are willing to try teaching one or two lessons on the platform
• Can give honest feedback about what works and what doesn't

This isn't a polished launch we're looking for teachers who want to help shape the product before it's publicly released.

We'll personally onboard every teacher, listen to feedback, and iterate quickly based on what you tell us.

If you're interested, leave a comment or send me a DM and I'll reach out with more details.

Jazakum Allahu khayran.

I just created a tajweed flashcard deck that is totally kids oriented. its colourful. playful and has mnemonics for kids to never get bored of their online quran classes. For me Tajweed lessons as a kid was so boring. They were something that felt like a torture because of the basic Qaidas that was used to teach me but i have solved this problem for parents, online Quran Tutors and Quran Academies. Need People to Give Me a Review of it and Let Me Know If They Will Be interested in having it.

You spend months, sometimes years, memorizing.

Then life happens.

Marriage. Children. Work. Exhaustion. Depression. Responsibilities.

One day you try to recite a surah you once knew perfectly… and suddenly you’re struggling through ayat that used to flow effortlessly from your tongue.

And the guilt is horrible.

So I want to ask the sisters here

What is the most painful thing nobody warned you about after memorizing the Qur’an—something you wish you could share with sisters who are just beginning their Hifz journey?

Say the thing people usually don’t say out loud.

assalamu alaikum

Feeling Confused About My Recitation Speed

When I'm reciting from memory I usually take about 1 to 1½ minutes per page almost half hour for one juz. Recently I met someone who said it takes them almost a full hour to complete one juz, and it made me wonder if my pace is unusually fast.

For those of you who have memorized the Qur'an, how long does it normally take you to recite one juz from memory?

Do you recite slowly with a lot of pauses, or at a steady pace?

Also, does my pace sound too fast? Could I be rushing without realizing it, or is that within a normal range for someone reciting from memory?

It takes me 1 hour only to revise 9 pages, and even after that, it is sooooo demotivating when my teacher still picks out mistakes .. please help

For those of you who are in the process of memorizing Qur’aan , and those who already have and are revising, do you plan to start a famous Hadith collection? If so , which one?

Disclaimer: Assuming you have a solid grasp of the Arabic language

fajr i do new memorization, usually half a page. then after dhuhr i revise the last 7 days. fridays i try to do a full juz revision but honestly half the time it turns into 3 pages and i call it. the new memorization part is fine, it's the old revision that keeps slipping. i'm the founder of an app called 'SABR: Quran Memorization' so i stare at revision data all day and still struggle with my own lol. what does your week look like

builder question more than anything. i'm the founder of an app called 'SABR: Quran Memorization' and the thing i keep hearing from users is that revision falls apart somewhere around juz 4 or 5. the old pages start slipping faster than new ones can stick.

for those of you past that point, what's your actual schedule? do you split old vs new into separate sittings, or stack them in one go? and how many old pages a day before it stops being realistic

Salam alaykum,

My Egyptian Qur’an teacher has completed a course in teaching Qur’an, Tajweed and Arabic to non-Arabic speakers, and he would now like to practice what he learned by offering free online interactive lessons.

He is looking for someone (preferably a male non-Arab) who is interested in learning Qur’an, Tajweed, and/or Arabic through interactive online sessions.

The number of sessions per week will be arranged based on your availability after you get in touch with him.

If you're interested, please send me your Name, Age, Country, Gender!

And I will connect you with the teacher, in shā’ Allāh.

Assalamu Alaikum.

I am a female Quran teacher and a med student with more than 8 years of experience teaching children Quran reading with proper tajweed and translation/understanding of Quran along with Hifdh. Teaching Quran is something I love, but recently I have been struggling financially.
My income is limited and inconsistent, and I am trying my best to support my family while continuing my work as a teacher. I am looking for ideas on how to find more students, increase my income in a halal way, or any skills that can be learned alongside teaching Quran.
I have tried to be more creative, I made a TikTok account of my teaching sessions, make custom notes for my students according to their level of understanding and also allow them to take class on flexible times. I have also designed a structured curriculum for kids along with animated lessons.
Should I invest on marketing?
If you have been in a similar situation or have any advice, I would sincerely appreciate it.
May Allah put barakah in everyone's rizq and ease the difficulties of those who are struggling.

Jazakum Allahu Khairan.

For me Surah al-Tawbah even if I have longer than that from al-Baqarah.

I’m wondering what’s the best way to to my revision. I have memorized 5 juz so far starting from juz amma and I haven’t started with my revision properly. Alhamdulillah I already know Juz 30 and 29 so I need to revise 3 Juz. I am a student and I also work part time so what’s the best way for me to catch up in my revision? I don’t want to take a break from memorizing new portions so tips on how to catch up without taking a break would be very much appreciated. Jazakumullahu Khayran.

I assume most (not all) native Arabic speakers have a big advantage in understanding the meanings of aayaat directly (such as common words and sentence structures).

When you guys are doing hifdh , are you also doing some casual Tafsir or Ghareeb al Quran research along the way?

Assalamu alaikum everyone.
I really want to learn how to recite the Quran properly with Tajweed, but I’m struggling a lot.
Right now it takes me around 5–10 minutes just to recite one page, and I have to stop often because I find reading Arabic difficult. I can read it, but very slowly, and I make a lot of mistakes.
I’m looking for the best way to improve.
How did you personally learn Tajweed?
Did you use a teacher, online classes, or self-study?
Are there any YouTube channels or playlists you’d recommend?
Are there any apps or resources that helped you become fluent?
How much should I practice each day?
My goal is to be able to recite the Quran correctly and confidently, not necessarily fast.
JazakAllahu khayran for any advice.

So im not a hafidh or doing hifdh, but im just trying to memorize some parts of the quran for now. But the problem is whenever i try to memorize a new surah, i totally mix it up when i read a similar ayah from another surah that i have already memorized. How do you avoid this?

السلام عليكم ورحمة الله وبركاته

So I've memorised almost 17 ajza alhamdulillah. There are almost 2 juzz that are very weak and I have to keep revising. I have had a lot going on the last few weeks including sickness so even after I strengthened them they became weaker again when I left them for 2 weeks.

Im feeling so demotivated now thinking if I memorise more what if I suffer further sickness or other responsibilities that mean I cant revise them to maintain them.

Any advice would be appreciated.

JazakAllahu khairan

Salam aleikum ikhwan

Recently, I started memorizing the Quran. At the moment, I am in a phase where I mainly listen to my own recitation to improve it. I have noticed myself, and others have also mentioned, that my voice has a naturally nasal tone.

I try to imitate Sheikh Shuraim’s recitation style because I listen to him daily and feel that his style suits my voice and is one I can relate to.

My question is: Since I live in the Netherlands, I am looking for an institute or school that can help me improve my Quran recitation (tajweed) as well as my memorization (hifdh). This question is mainly directed to my brothers who live in the Netherlands. Any recommendations or personal experiences would be greatly appreciated.
Jazakum Allahu khayran.
