Memorizing the Quran: Strategies and Tips?

Memorizing the Quran: Strategies and Tips?

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

As salaamu alaykum.

This post is addressed to those who are already huffaaz of the Quran, have memorized much of it, or who have intimate knowledge of the methods employed by Ustadhs who have the responsibility of helping people memorize the Quran.

What kind of strategies, tips, routines, etc. would you you guys suggest for one seeking to memorize the whole of the Qur'an? For example, "Should Surah be learned in a particular order? Is there a particular number of times that a particular amount of Qur'an should be repeated before it becomes ingrained in one's head? How often should one review what they already know? When should they move on to new material? What if someone only has about a half hour to an hour a day to devote to this endeavor?", etc.

Any suggestions by those who have already tread, or currently treading, this path would be greatly appreciated.

Jazakallahu Khair.

Wa'salaam.

good questions....the strategies differ from person to person...reciting repeatedly helps a lot, one fixed section at a time...also reciting with a recitation of the holy quran might help...
