With faith everything can be a Quran hafiz. This is the initial rule in memorizing the Koran 30 juz. Faith is the foundation, the basis of belief for every religion. During the month of Ramadan many interact reading the Koran, studying it and even memorizing it. Have you understood faith before the Koran? This is the explanation.
Friends there are important rules that need to be understood for memorizing the Koran, namely faith before memorizing the Koran, strengthening faith before interacting with the Koran. Allah SWT. said,
Meaning: "The people we have given the book, they read it as they should, they are the one who believes to him ..." (Al-Baqarah, 2: 121)
The journey about the process of becoming a Quran hafiz. The best experience begins with the foundation of faith in the Koran itself. The belief that that is Kalamullah, all happens to the will of Allah SWT. Not because of our own efforts. Of course the prayers of parents and personal. The initial process in memorizing the Koran or any interaction carried out with the Qur'an begins with the correct faith in the Koran.
Faith in the Koran must not be doubtful, because faith in the book of Allah is a pillar of faith. If this harmony is ignored, the confusion and failure that will be faced. Then understanding this rule is very important. Faith before the Qur'an. Strong faith before memorizing the Koran. This principle must be held before discussing the theme of the practice of other Koran.

What are the stages of learning the Quran exemplified by the Prophet? Is it directly memorizing the Qur'an, learning recitation, tahsin or interpretation study? then there is a core and fundamental process that is faith. Because there will be a lot of temptations, disturbances, obstacles that will make faith waive in the process of interacting with the Koran.
Pulling the message of the Prophet from the history of Jundub bin Abdullah RA. Describe in the hadith,
"In the past when we were still children with the Prophet Muhammad, we learned faith before learning the Koran. After that we only learned the Qur'an. So that our faith was even stronger." (HR. Ibn Majah)
The purpose of learning faith is to learn the values contained in the Koran, that is what must take precedence before memorizing or teaching and learning how to read the Koran. So that when the child starts learning makharijul letters, recitation and the right way in reading the Koran, at that time the child already understood globally the teachings contained in the verses they learn.

Ibn Umar Ra. said,
"We experienced a time when we learned faith before studying the Koran. When the Surah of the Koran was revealed to the Prophet, we studied the law of halal and haram contained in it. Also the commands and prohibitions. And the rules that must be obeyed. contained in it. (HR. Al-Baihaqi)
We should not be like the people who are used as a bad parable in the Koran Surah al-Jumuah verse 5. Bringing the Scriptures but denying its contents, given the task of protecting His book but does not believe in its womb, even wrongdoing by changing it. The problem is because there is no faith in him.
Allah SWT. said in surah al-jumuah,
"The parable of those who are given the task of carrying the Torah, then they do not carry it (not practicing it) is like a donkey that carries thick books. Very bad parables of people who deny the verses of God. And Allah does not give instructions to those who are wrongdoing" (QS Al-Jumu'ah [62]: 5)

From the faith and memorization of the Koran later bear fruitful deeds.
Faith and the Koran are always bound in the heart and life, memorizing the Koran is not empty in empty space but feels miracles and their miracles in charity and faith. The following verses explain it;
Meaning: "He sent the illiterate people of an apostle among them, who read His verses to them, purified them and taught them the books and wisdom (as-sunnah); (QS Al-Jumu'ah, 62: 2).
