Outline of Program and Steps to follow

Main Aspects of Programme

• This programme is a continuous combination of the following basic steps. (Please read further below for more detailed information).

1. Individually doing hifz and completing your month’s syllabus at your own pace within one month
2. Doing tasmee with your Musaid as you feel it is necessary (does not necessarily have to be in person)
3. Doing full tasmee of your month’s syllabus with your Musaid once a month in person
4. Goal of progressing through one level every month; i.e. completing hifz of the prescribed surahs and performing continuous murajaat (revision)

Syllabus

• The 38 Surahs of the Juz Amma have been divided into 11 monthly levels/groups (shown in the monthly breakdown below).
• In each level/group:
  • There are on average 3 to 4 Surahs to do Hifz, and
  • There is Murajaat (revision) of all the Surahs whose Hifz has been completed in prior levels. Murajaat is an equally, if not more important, aspect of Hifz of Al-Quran al-Majeed. Murajaat helps maintain and strengthen the hifz previously performed.
  • Each month’s course consists of 13 units:
    • Each unit consists of a certain number of ayats for hifz (depending on the surah and the level, this can range from 2 ayats to 7+)
    • Each unit consists of murajaat (revision) of certain surahs (4 to 6 on average).
    • The syllabus for each month showing the breakdown of the 13 units is available for download below.
• Your goal is to progress through the programme by successfully completing one level (i.e. 13 units) one month at a time.
• If you want to complete the 13 units faster than one month, then by all means you can do so and progress faster to the next level. The one month timeline has only been set so that mumineen have ample time to pace themselves as they wish to complete the 13 units within a span of one month. Completing 13 units over a span of 30 days is more than do-able.
• The level you will begin at will be based on the location of the Surahs you already have done hifz till without a break in the tarteeb (ordering).
  • For example, if you know all the Surahs continuously till Surah 13-Asr but then do not any surahs until Surah 19-Qadr, you will start at the level which contains Surah 14-Takathur (not 21-Teen).
  • Note, because it is common for many mumineen to not know Surah 20-Alaq (Iqra Bisme) and know some of the Surahs ownwards approaching 26-Balad (La Uqsemo), Surah 20-Alaq has been deferred towards the end of the La Uqsemo level, i.e. in Group 7.

Musaid

• Each participant will be assigned a Musaid (mentor; guide). Your Musaid will be the person with whom you will perform your tasmee, obtain guidance on doing hifz and murajaat, and the person who will track your progress.
• At a minimum, there should be tasmee performed in person once a month after the entire month’s syllabus has been completed.
• You can do tasmee more frequently if you wish as well (i.e. you do not need to finish all 13 units in order to do your Tasmee). Also this intermittent Tasmee need not be in person (e.g. can be over the phone).
• You and your Musaid will coordinate together the times that are mutually convenient for you to perform your Tasmee. If your Musaid feels it is more efficient and convenient to have a group tasmee session of all his/her mentees at one time, your Musaid will inform you accordingly.
• Your Musaid will be available to help and guide you at all times. Feel free to contact your Musaid as you feel it is necessary.

Aids for Hifz and Murajaat

• In order to improve one’s Ahkam and Makharij when reciting Quran, audio files have been specially created such that each Surah’s ayats have been divided into individual audio tracks (if the ayat is long, then the ayat may be split into 2 or 3 tracks). This allows you to repeat the tracks as many times as you wish in order to do your hifz and improve your Ahkam and Makharij.
• These audio files are available for free download below in MP3 format (see links below).
• There is also a set of 38 audio files which contain the continuous recitation of each Surah. This can be used during Murajaat.
  • If you require these set of files prepared as an audio CD, please contact Mohammed bhai Sachee at msachee@gmail.com. There will be a hub raqam collected of $5 for the CD.
• It is recommended that you use the same Quran when doing hifz. This is because the position of the script will not be different if you keep switching between Quran, and this will make it easier to do hifz.
• Further, it is encouraged by Mahad-al-Zahra that you use at the Misri Quran when doing hifz. The script is generally cleaner and the notations for the various ahkam are easier to see.

Important Note: The audio files have been prepared as an aid for doing Hifz, not a substitute. Hifz does not mean to memorize sound only; it means to memorize the words of the Quran. Therefore, one must still sit down and read from the Quran when performing Hifz of Al-Quran ul-Majeed.
