Start with Sincerity and Allah’s Help
Key Mindset Before You Begin
Memorizing the entire Quran (Hifz) is one of the greatest honors a Muslim can achieve. The Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) said: “The best among you are those who learn the Quran and teach it” (Sahih al-Bukhari 5027). At Al-Azhar Quran Teaching, more than 8,500 students from 47 countries, including hundreds from India, have begun their Hifz journey with pure intention and Allah’s limitless blessings.
- Renew your intention every single day – do it only for Allah, never for likes or certificates.
- Make heartfelt Du’aa in every sujood – 73% of our successful Indian Huffaz say prostration prayers were their biggest strength.
- Remember Allah’s promise: “We have made the Quran easy to remember” (Surah Al-Qamar 54:17).
- Over 92% of students who finished Hifz in 2–3 years felt Allah gradually opened their memory.
- Stay patient when motivation drops – even Imam Ash-Shafi’i (rahimahullah) took 12 years to perfect his memorization.
