Quran Study And Memorisation
Quraan Study and Memorization
From Dr. Salih as-Salih’s (rahimahuLlahi) website Quote:
Why learn to read Quraan in Arabic?
•Quraan was revealed in Arabic, and its full meaning is only in Arabic.
•Translation of the meaning is not Quraan. It cannot be used in prayer.
•Transliteration cannot replace Arabic script. It could lead to mispronunciation and therefore to a change in meaning.
Reading Quraan in Arabic
•Don’t rush when learning letters /signs and sounds of letters. Patience here will pay off later on. Knowing
•Arabic letters is not the same as knowing all reading rules.
•Learning a surah directly from Arabic script cannot {and should not}happen before acquiring a minimum proficiency in reading Arabic correctly.
Some errors in reading are serious as they change the meaning of the Quraan, and they are very difficult to correct after they are memorized.
Learning to read the Quraan without changing its meaning, this is essential… learning tajweed rules, this is an option
Quran Study
•Know the overall meaning in your own language. This does not mean to learn the translation by heart.
•Read the accompanying tafseer and take notes. See the program’s schedule for tafseer of juz ‘amma.
•Even if you have a recitation teacher, record your own recitation to check for errors before memorizing one verse or one line.
•Commit to read some Quraan daily. Commit to memorize a minimum of verses or lines daily. Set up goals according to your personal ability and revise periodically as needed.

The time in which the the recitation is witnessed.
The recitation of the Quran is witnessed at Fajr and Asr
and the morning recitation; surely the morning recitation is witnessed [Isra 78]
Shaykh Muhammad ibn Salih AL-Uthaymeen (may Allah have mercy on him said,”This witnessing also applies to Asr, because the recording Angels gather together at that time too.[ Sharhus Saheeh Al-Bukhari 1/143]

The purpose of Reading the Qur’an
The Purpose of Reading the Quran is to Contemplate and Apply it
Question: If one reads the Quran well – all praise is due to Allah – is it better for him to recite often or should he listen to famous reciters on audio cassette for example?
Answer: What is better for him is to do what is better for his heart and what will have more effect on it. Because the purpose of recitation is to reflect and understand the meanings of the Quran and to act according to what Allah Almighty has ordered in it, as He said :
” (This is) a Book(the Qur’ân) which We have sent down to you, full of blessings that they may ponder over its Verses, and that men of understanding may remember.” [ Sad 38:29 ]
He also said :
” Verily, this Quran guides to that which is most just and right.” [ Al'Isra 17:9 ]
and:
” Say, It is for those who believe, a guide and a healing.” [ Fussilat:41:44 ]

Goal Concerning Qur`aan(Acting upon it, Holding it as our ‘Aqidah)
Author: Shaikh Saalih al-Fawzaan (hafidhahullaah)
Source: Put together from the Question and Answer format of Shaikh Saalih al-Fawzaan’s explanation of Lum’atul I’tiqaad, found on Salafitalk.
Compiled by: Maher Attiyeh
”’ So the three matters the Muslim must try to perform regarding the Qur`aan are:
1- The recitation, and giving importance to it.
2- Acquiring knowledge of the meanings and the explanation and what Allaah meant by His Speech.
3- Acting upon the Noble Qur`aan, as is wanted by Allaah the Most High, and
holding what is contained in the Qur`aan as ‘Aqeedah.
The first two of these categories are means. But the third of three is the true goal.”
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Reciting the Noble Qur’aan and contemplating upon it
Imaam Al-Aajurree, May Allah have mercy upon him said :” Whoever contemplates his words, will know the Lord (aza wa jal) and he will know of His great Power and capability, His immense favour upon the believers, and of the obligation upon himself to worship Him.
Accordingly, the person imposes this duty upon himself thereby being on his guard against that which His Generous Patron and Protector (Allah subhanahu wa ta’ala) has warned of and coveting that which He has made desirous.
Whoever is of this description when reciting the Qur’aan or when Listening to it when recited by another, the Qur’aan will be a cure for him. He becomes Rich without money, he attains power and strength without kinsfolk and finds intimacy in that which others find alienation towards.
His desire when opening a surah for recitation will be ‘When will I accede to the admonition contained within what I read?’ and his desire will NOT be ‘when will i complete this surah?’
His aspiration is none other than, ‘ when will I understand what Allah is addressing me with?, When will I restrain (from committing sins?), when will I take heed?’
This is because reciting the Qur’aan is worship and it is not to be done so in a state of heedlessness, and Allah is the one who grants the tawfeeq towards that”

In how many days, to finish reading the Qur’an
“In forty days, then he said, in a month, then he said, in twenty days, then he said, in fifteen days, then he said, in ten days, then he said, seven days, (Read it in three days, whoever reads the Qur’an in less than three days, he will not understand it.)”

More than Recitation
It is reported that ‘Umar b. Al-Khattâb – Allah be pleased with him – said:
Do not be fooled by one who recites the Qurân. His recitation is but speech – but look to those who act according to it.
Al-Khatîb, Iqtidâ` Al-‘Ilm Al-‘Amal no. 109
It is reported from Ayyûb Al-Sakhtiyânî [d130H] that he said:
There is no filth filthier than the sinful (fâjir) reciter of the Qurân.
Al-Khatîb, Iqtidâ` Al-‘Ilm Al-‘Amal no. 114
It is reported from Al-Fudayl (b. ‘Ayyâd) that he said:
The Qurân was sent down to be acted upon but people have taken just reciting it as enough of a deed. He was asked, “How is it acted upon?” He replied, “They should treat as halâl what it makes halâl and treat as harâm what it makes harâm, they should take on its commandments and stay away from what it forbids, and they should stop to ponder its amazing knowledge and wisdom.”
Al-Khatîb, Iqtidâ` Al-‘Ilm Al-‘Amal no. 116

Shaykh Ibn Baz’s advice on memorising the Qur’aan
The questioner asks Shaykh Ibn Baaz, may Allah have mercy upon him: I wish to memorize the noble Quran, so which surah (chapter) should I begin with and how can I preserve that which I memorise from the book of Allah?
The answer: Memorising the mighty book (i.e. the Quran) is from the most virtuous ways of seeking nearness to Allah and that which is best is to begin with is Al Baqarah, that you start from the beginning of the Quran, and that you give importance to taking a bit at a time, and that you make for your self a suitable time in the day or at night in which you can strive to memorise the book of Allah, and I give glad tidings that the one who strives will find (i.e. fruitfulness), and whomsoever strives then Allah makes his affairs easy for him, as Allah free from all imperfections says: “and whosoever fears Allâh and keeps his duty to Him, He will make his matter easy for him” (At-Talaq 65:4)
So if you strive, you will succeed, and also see a suitable time in the day or at night so that you may prepare it to preserve that which you have memorised, and start from Al Baqarah from its begining, and whomsoever strives whilst having the correct intention then Allah will grant him succes and make his affair easy for him

Shaykh Muqbil on the Correct Way of Memorising the Qur’aan
Shaykh Muqbil on the Correct Way of Memorising the Qur’aan and Hadeeth
Question:
What is the correct way of memorising the Qur’aan and the Hadeeths?
Answer:
As for memorising the Qur’aan, then the people differ, from the people there are those that are able to memorise a page, and from them there are those that can memorise both sides of a page; and from them there are those that are not able to memorise except half a page or less (than that), so everyone according to their ability.
From the affairs that which aid in memorising the Qur’aan are repetition, revision and standing in the night prayer with it (i.e. that which you have memorised) if you are able to perform the night prayer. For indeed Allaah, the One free from all imperfections and the Most High says:
Verily, the rising by night (for Tahajjud prayer) is very hard and most potent and good for governing (the soul), and most suitable for (understanding) the Word (of Allâh). [Soorah Al-Muzzammil 73:6]
And in some parts of the night (also) offer the Salât (prayer) with it (i.e. recite the Qur’an in the prayer), as an additional prayer (Tahajjud optional prayer Nawâfil) for you (O Muhammad sallAllaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam). [Soorah Al-Isra 17:79]
Likewise taking from the Mashaykh and memorising at their hands. If you do not find them, then I advise you to stick to the cassettes of the proficient reciters, those whom recite with a sound recitation, and not those who exaggerate as ‘Abdul Baasit does; rather, the recitation of just balanced sound reciters and not those that (recite in a manner) that was disliked by some of the Salaf.
As for the memorisation of Hadeeth, then they are little easier if it is done without the Asaaneed (chains of narration), so it is possible that you memorise a Hadeeth in a day or two days or three days then act upon this hadeeth, for indeed this aids in making the Hadeeth firmly grounded, then studying with the brothers and lots of repetition.
