Ramadan: What is your goal in terms of memorizing the Quran?

My goal is to memorize WHOLE of it one day insh'Allah. (soon!)

I m on surah a'naam.

have memorized 16 juzz.

have lead prayers in congregation (not in taraweeh, but rather in shabeenah).

do pray for us all.

I share this wonderful poem by a blind man on memorization of the quran 'made easy'!

Memorizing the quran is EASY!

but keeping it strong in memory is Not!

Bukhari :: Book 6 :: Volume 61 :: Hadith 549

Narrated Ibn Umar:

Allah's Apostle said, "The example of the person who knows the Qur'an by heart is like the owner of tied camels. If he keeps them tied, he will control them, but if he releases them, they will run away."

I hope u liked the above hadith!

i wanna share another!

Muslim :: Book 4 : Hadith 1725

'Abdullah is reported to have said: Keep refreshing your knowledge of the sacred books (or always renew your knowledge of these sacred books) and sometimes he would mention the Qur'an for it is more apt to escape from men's minds than animals which are hobbled, and the Messenger of Allah (may peace be upon him) said: None of you should say: I forgot such and such a verse, but he has been made to forget.

May Allah increase us in our imaan and adherence to islam.

Ameen.

I completed the memorisation of the Qur'an at 14-15. Though, initially I was forced or told to go to Madrassa i.e do Hifz, however, I'm glad I was, and I thank my parents every day they didn't allow me to quit. While I was doing Hifz (memorising the Qur'an) I was looking forward to leading the Ramadan congregation (Taraweeh) which I did for a few years after completing. Our Madrassa would send the best Hufaaz (Plural of Hafiz) to countries all over the world during Ramadan, these people would request Hufaaz as they had none in their locality. I was fortunate enough to be the few who got this opportunity, so I have lead Taraweeh prayers in Spain - Barcelona, Japan - Tokyo, and all over England.

Sadly, I do not lead Ramadan prayers anymore. For various reasons; Just don't get the time, work life is hectic, plus my imaan (faith) is not where it should be, or as it was before. I don't have a beard either (which in some places is a must, or they'd feel uncomfortable praying behind an imam without a beard)

Insha'Allah I have intentions to get back on that prayer mat again, soon.

Walaikumasalam wa Rahmatullah =)

I've started memorizing, Alhamdulillah!

I would memorize my favorite surahs from different places in the Quran....but then I thought...why not memorize it from the beginning, in order?.....InshaAllah I hope to be a Hafidha one day soon :)

Jazakallahu Khair for sharing :)

i will learn arabic in its original form inshallah but i think memorising is also very useful providing you try and understand what you memorize. my goal is to memorize it all understand it all and try to implement it all into a modern world.

walaikum asalaam

edit: some people will memorize and not understand a damn thing there are many people who have gone 30 40 50 years in their life and have no clue what they are saying in salah. knowledge needs to be attained efficiently and understood effectively and applied righteously.

Plz remind me by then before I forget! Sounds good ! Alhamdulillah!

I'm currently memorising Surah Al-Baqarah, insha'Allah Allah SWT makes it easy as possible!

I LOVE MEMORISING THE QU'RAN SUBHANALLAH! :D
