Self Forgiveness helps...

By

One of the many things I did, to improve my hifz is this... 

Before we do hifz or recite Quran, being humble - is to be aware of the many sins we did daily and ask Allah for guidance and forgiveness. 

We also must be open to forgive ourselves for making such mistakes. 

So before hifz, I normally do a Sunnat prayer of taubat /repentance or repeat Yunus a.s supplication 40x as dhikr..

  لَّآ اِلٰهَ اِلَّآ اَنْتَ سُبْحٰنَكَ اِنِّيْ كُنْتُ مِنَ الظّٰلِمِيْنَ ۚ

Lailaha illa Anta subhanaka inni kuntu minadhdhalimin.

There is none worthy of worship except You. Glory to You.

"Tidak ada Tuhan selain Engkau. Maha Suci Engkau, sesungguhnya aku adalah termasuk orang-orang yang zalim

Hope these helps. 

Disclaimer:Do note that it's best to study hifz with a hafiz/hafidzah. It's not a journey to be taken alone (though it's possible). Though we may know the tajwid and basic of reading Quran, it's best to have someone who has been there done that and able to guide us, always. 

Whatever I shared is what I faced in my life. May or may not be true or good for you. So always refer to asatizah/teachers in your country. What is best is from Allah what is not good is from me. Do help me spread what is good, with love. And do open your heart to forgive me for everything . Thank you.

Sura A'la helps to remember with God's will

By
 I thought, I had completed Sura Jinn hifz by now. But I'm stuck.  For whatever reasons unknown to me, I can only memorised 7 ayat. Yes it has been marinating in me for so long.  I wallow in my sappy disappointment and it didn't help much. And so I forced myself and it is worse.  And so I took a longer break from my teacher.  It feels heavy too (as taught by my teacher, I have to ignore all these as excuses to stop hifz due to syaithan) but as an energy healing coach, I have to find out is it because of the energetic vibe of every sentence and it's meaning? I'm super sensitive. And so perhaps, I need to reflect more and deeper on them.  Anyway...  My hifz teacher taught me that challenges like this can be solved by holding/placing my hand on head (for brain actually) and recite Sura Al-A'la ayat 6 for 3 times: سنقرئك فلا تنسى Hope that helps.  Also, I have issues with my heart recently.... Just heaviness n extra heart activeness whenever I'm stres...

Sura Jinn and my struggles.

By
 Long were the days where I can memorise a whole page within minutes. At this golden age of 46, I found that my mind is more stubborn and kinda have it's own mind. After doing my best to focus as much, planned time =10hours but I can only sit still max 4 hours with breaks in between. Later on, after a week of faithfully focusing, the next week, my mind refused to memorise the new sura : Al-Jinn. It kinda rebel. Like a block.  Thinking that 1 sura per week is super slow for me (a noob who has high self expectations), I wanted to hurry the pace. But again, I haven't learn my lessons in previous Sura. Anyway this site may help: https://howtomemorisethequran.com/tips-on-how-to-memorise-surah-al-jinn-with-ease/ The thinker in me wander in wonder why am I having such a challenge with this Sura. Though it has repetitive "Wa Anna..." It's not even about the sura's complexity. It's to start the engine that I'm having to trouble with. My youngest joked that I of...

Sura Jinn part 3

By
 I found out the issue. The ayat 12 of Sura Jinn.... I feel that part of me felt ashamed because of the sins of the past n currently accumulating. If the Jinn can feel this way, why can't I?  Anyway, I talked to my heart n say, it's OK... If u want to beat fast, or be heavy or restless... so be it. If I die from heart issues due to this, I'm happy because I die while memorising Sura Jinn.  And then, I felt my heart relaxed. N I didn't have much issues reading the first page over and over again.  (to memorise Sura Jinn, I divide them by pages. I focus fully on 1st page because it has many similar sentences. Then once fluent, n memorised, I shall moved onto the next page).  Alhamdulillah, I have gone past ayat no. 7... I remembered back in my youth, age 20 n below, we didn't have Quran app with translations. I have the hard copy, a small one. The English translation words were too small so I seldom read it. But when I read the Quran (Arabic only) , sometimes I fee...
