Advice For Hufaaz
O Haafizul Quraan. You are one of the two groups of Quraanic Bearers viz. Ulamaa and Hufaaz. We see today many Hufaaz struggling to “learn” their “part” of Taraweeh. O Haafiz, you are a walking Quraan. For starters you need to know the Quraan by memory from start to finish.
We have put together a plan for Hufaaz to memorize or rather re-memorize the Quraan. Some Hufaaz have completely forgotten most of the Quraan. We will work on a worst case scenario.
The standard 13 line Quraan Is 847 pages. Even a Haafiz who is rusty and in bad shape will know the popular suras ie. 30th para, ya seen, waaqiya and so on.This will bring it down under 800 pages.
Working this pattern of though the average “weak” Haafiz will need to perfect 600 pages. That is, 100% perfection with no mistakes.
See how much you can learn in a day. Sometimes it will be a quarter Para and on some days in the very week areas, it will be half a page. But If you continue systematically EVERY DAY” just doing Sabaq for about 10 minutes and then making sure after learning each Para that you practice it until you know it 100%, you can learn at least 1 para to perfection with no mistakes every 3 months. Some months more and some months less, but this will be the average. This will be 4 to 5 paras every year.
Keep in mind that we are talking about Sabaq for 10 to 15 minutes a day. The targets are small and keeps in mind married life, work, children and other responsibilities.
In six years you will be a walking copy of the Quraan Insha Allah. Depending on your current state it might be less time. Remember this is for Hufaaz whose Dhor is extremely week. We know of Hufaaz who cannot read half a para for 90% of the Quraan without first making Dhor. Age group is 30 to 50.
If you fit the profile and you are, for example, 32, you will accomplish the goal before 40 Insha Allah.
Do not wait to perfect your Quraan thinking you have enough time and do not feel it is too late. Strategize and work towards it and Insha Allah you will accomplish the goal of being a walking Quraan.
Make Dhor of at least one para a day. While going to the shop and back you can recite half a para. While going home from work another half. While going to work, walking home from Musjid. While making a cup of tea perhaps 1 or 2 pages.
The state of Dhor of Hufaaz today is very bad. Be a true Haafiz and not a Haafiz in name or a Ramadaan Haafiz. Make the effort. Remember, if every written copy of the Quraan is destroyed (Allah forbid), it will be you, the Haafizul Quraan who will be its protector on this earth! That is your first responsibility.
Allah make it easy for one and all.
