For this, we need a focused plan, namely with a SMART approach resolution: Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Relevant, and Time-bound.
To succeed in your resolution to memorize the Quran, you need to set specific goals. For example:
• "I want to memorize juz 30 in 6 months."
• "I want to increase my memorization by 3 pages every week."
Avoid overly general goals, such as "I want to memorize the Quran," without clear details. Specific targets will help you feel more focused and directed.
Make sure your resolution is clearly measurable. For example:
• Memorize 2 verses every day.
• Memorize 1 page every 3 days.
Use tools like memorization tables, Quran apps, or personal journals to track your memorization progress. This way, you can see your progress and know when to refine your strategy.
Don't set yourself too high a goal, like memorizing one juz' (chapters) a week if you're not used to it. Instead, start small but consistently.
For example:
• "I will memorize 5 verses per day for a month."
• Once you get used to it, increase your target little by little.
Remember, the journey to becoming a Hafiz of the Quran is a marathon, not a sprint. Consistency is key!
Make sure your resolutions are relevant to your life goals and priorities. If memorizing the Quran is part of your effort to draw closer to Allah, then aim for His approval.
For example, intend:
• "I want to memorize the Quran so I can better understand and practice its contents."
• "I want to become a Hafiz of the Koran so that I can teach this memorization to my family and surrounding environment."
With a strong and relevant intention, you will be more motivated to stay on track.
Plans without deadlines often end in failure. Therefore, set a deadline for each memorization goal.
Example:
• Memorize one short letter (such as Al-Mulk) within 10 days.
• Memorize juz 30 within 6 months.
• Memorized the entire Koran in 3 years.
However, don't forget to be flexible and allow for obstacles. If there are any delays, immediately evaluate and adjust your plan without losing enthusiasm.
