These Daily Hifz Schedules
By Medic Hafiz January 9, 2023 Approx Read: 9 mins

One of the things that Huffādh are constantly asked by Hifz students is whether they
can share or help others create daily Hifz schedules.

There are many types of schedules that can be made depending on your circumstances.
Today, I’ll share 5 example schedules to get you started.

A full time Hifz-ul-Qur’ān schedule

Morning Task to complete

6@00B
Wake up and have breakfast and travel to class
7@00

7@00B
Revise new memorisation (sabaq) 40 times and recite to the teacher
8@00

8@00B Revise and recite recent memorisation (sabqi) to the teacher (last 25
9@30 days)

9@30B Revise and recite one Juz’ of your past memorisation

11@00 (manzil/dohr/murāja’ah) to the teacher

11@00B
Break
12@00

Afternoon Task to complete

12@00B
Revise your new memorisation (sabaq) 10 times to yourself
12@15

12@15B Revise 5 ajzā’ of your past memorisation (manzil/dohr/murāja’ah) to self

15@30 from memory

15@30B
Break
16@00

Evening Task to complete

16@00B20@00 Teaching, gym time, working

20@00B21@00 Break

21@00B23@00 Learn tomorrow’s new memorisation (sabaq)

00@00 Sleep

When learning tomorrow’s sabaq before sleeping, you can spend more time if you want
to memorise more. You could memorise less than a page, one page, two pages, or even
more. This is down to your capability.

If you are able to memorise two pages, then you should not be memorising one page.
Don’t do injustice and ensure to make the most of your time.

Build up your revision: initially you can revise half a Juz’ for revision. Once you reach 10
ajzā’, you should do one Juz’.

When doing self-revision in the afternoon, build it up. Initially start with one Juz’ and
two, then three, then four, and then five a day. This will ensure your Hifz will stay strong
and you won’t struggle to recite the one Juz’ to your teacher.

This schedule can be modified to fit your needs and is just an example. For example, if
you are able to only recite to your teacher in the evening in a one hour slot, then ensure
you learn everything in the morning and afternoon.

There are four hours for work, gym, or teaching time because you need a break away
from Hifz to refresh and relax your mind. This could be teaching kids about the deen,
any sort of exercise or even a part time job. This four hour slot you can use to do
whatever you want. If, instead, you want to use it for Hifz and you want to memorise
even more Qur’ān, then go for it. If you have the passion, don’t let anyone stop you!
Finally, if any of you have done full time Hifz or are doing it, then do also share your
schedule.

A schedule for those doing Hifz part-time (after work,

school, college, university)

Time of the day Task to complete

At night before sleeping, learn tomorrow’s lesson (e.g. 5

Night before sleeping
lines)

Morning before work, In the morning before work, school, college, or

school, college or university university, recite your lesson 75 times off memory

After work, school, college, After work, school, college, or university recite your
or university lesson 25 times and then to your teacher

Revise the most recent half Juz’ bc45 mins)

Then revise half Juz’ of old memorisation bc1.5 hours)

Revise everything you’ve done in the last 6 months

Weekends
every week

After work, school, and university you should recite your sabaq (new lesson), sabqi
(most recent half Juz’ behind sabaq) and manzil (review of old memorisation of half a
Juz’) to your teacher. Then in your own time you learn your sabaq and read it 100 times
off memory.

The difference here to usual schedules is that in your own time you don’t review a cycle
of your total old memorisation (manzil/dohr/murajā’ah) every week by yourself rather
you repeat your sabaq (new lesson) a further 100 times off memory to engrain it into
your memory.

The reason I’ve allocated less time for the previous lessons (sabqi of 1/2 ‘Juz=45
minutes) compared to 1.5 hours for manzil (old memorisation) is that sabqi should be
easy to revise since you repeat it daily.

The manzil of 1/2 Juz’ you could learn rukū’ by rukū’ or in quarters and then connect it.
You could also read it all at once and then read to the teacher. This way you would be
repeating of that 1/2 juz a few times before reciting to your teacher.

Initially you may start off with reciting 1/4 Juz’ for revision to your teacher but eventually
increase to 1/2 after around 10 ajzā’. You might say well only half a Juz’? The reason for
that is on the weekends you must revise what you’ve done in last 6 months every week.

This will help to bridge the short to long term memory. For example in the last 6 months,
if you’ve done 6 ajzā’ then you could do 3 ajzā’ on Saturday and 3 on Sunday – this is
vital to recite.

Then once completed your Hifz, you could start to revise 1 Juz’ a day and then go
through go through a process or schedule to strengthen your Qur’ān.

A schedule to strengthen your Hifz after completion

Khatm
of Amount to recite per day
Qur’ān

You will revise a quarter of a Juz’ as a new lesson (sabaq), 1 Juz’ as recent
1
revision (sabqi), and 1 Juz’ for past revision (manzil)

You will revise half of a Juz’ as a new lesson (sabaq), 1 Juz’ as recent
2
revision (sabqi), and 1 Juz’ for past revision (manzil)

3 Revise 1 Juz’ a day

4 Revise 1.25 Juz’ a day

5 Revise 1.5 Juz’ a day

6 Revise 2 Juz’ a day

7 Revise 2.5 Juz’ a day

8 Revise 3 ajzā’ a day

9 Revise 3.5 ajzā’ a day

10 Revise 5 ajzā’ a day

11 Revise 6 ajzā’ a day

12 Revise 7.5 ajzā’ a day

13 Revise 10 ajzā’ a day

14 Revise 15 ajzā’ a day

15 Revise one complete Qur’ān

This schedule should be used for the one who ensured they kept up with their Hifz
revision (one should be able to revise a juz’ in one hour). If the student’s Hifz is weak,
they should go back and memorise the weak parts again following any of the hifz
schedules. This schedule strengthens the hifdh of a student and build up to reciting the
entire Qur’ān in one day.

You should read all parts to your teacher particularly for the first few khatm (especially
the sabaq). In the first few khatm, up to 3 ajzā’ perhaps, read it several times whilst
practising reciting in different speeds: slow, medium, and fast. When it comes to large
amounts like the Qur’ān in one day, recite fast. Try to recite as much as you can in salāh,
particular the revision cycle you choose to adopt. For the first few khatm, ensure to read
by looking first and avoid any mistakes.

When it comes to reciting the large amounts, the recommended way of revising is to
read off memory, and then look into the mus’haf when it is needed such as when in
doubt or when making a mistake. Your brain and tongue at this stage will be able to tell
if you’ve made a mistake as your tongue won’t let you carry on. If you don’t have time,
maintain 5 ajzā’ a day and then in holidays increase the amount till you recite the entire
Qur’ān.

What’s next?

After going through the strengthening process until you can recite the Qur’ān in one day,
you should then select a specific number of ajzā’ to revise from there on. You should aim
to revise 5 ajzā’ a day completing one Qur’ān every 6 or 7 days (taking a day off like
Friday). If not, then aim to do 4 ajzā’, and if not, always stick to one Juz’. Aim to also lead
the Tarāwīh each year in order to master your revision and help you revise throughout
the year.

You should also aim to teach what you know. Seek knowledge of other sciences such as
Arabic, Tajweed, ‘Aqīdah, Fiqh, etc. Ensure to keep visiting your teacher regularly even
after Hifdh and stay attached.

Another Hifdh schedule for those doing Hifdh part-time

(after work, school, college, university)
This is ideal for part time students who have commitments such as academic studies or
work. You can adjust it to fit your needs.

This is for those who can’t recite multiple ajzā’ to their teacher due to time constraints.
This is for those who work or study full time. This schedule will produce competent
Huffāz who are not weak. It can be adjusted to fir your needs. For example, if you finish
work or school later, you can alter the starting times.

Time of the day Task to complete

7@30B8@00 (morning) Revise/learn sabaq

08@00B16@00 (day) Attend school/college

16@30B18@30 (evening) Attend Hifz class

19@30B20@30 (evening) Learn sabaq

20@30B21@00 (evening) Revise sabqi

21@00B23@00 (night) Revise manzil/dohr/murāja’ah

A typical Hifz class might look like:

16@30B16@45 Recite Sabaq

16@45B17@30 Recite half a Juz’

17@30B18@30 Recite half Juz’ for manzil

When revising sabqi (previous lessons) and manzil (past) you can recite it by looking
first, then off memory to your teacher.

How can you learn and revise after the Hifz class?
19C30F20C30 Learn Sabaq – here you learn tomorrow’s lesson, you learn that which you
are capable of doing without mistakes or stutters.

20C30F21C00 Revise Sabqi – this would usually be a Juz’ behind your sabaq (read from
memory).

21C30F23C00 Revise Manzil/Dohr – revise everything you have learnt at least once a
week straight off memory. At the beginning, start with a Juz’, towards the end of Hifz,
revise 4/5 ajzā’ a day.

Note again, this a sample schedule for those who may have a short class time b2 hours).
In this case, most of the work should be done outside of the class – nothing new should
be learnt in class. As you wull only revise half a Juz’ to your teacher – it is vital to have
another revision cycle at home by yourself. otherwise, towards the end, you would
revise one part every two months which is not sufficient. Build it up as you memorise
more.

Your new lesson (sabaq) should be learnt slow and then repeated multiple times in a
fast pace to build fluency. When reciting to a teacher, recite it slow. Learn sabaq the day
before and revise in the morning before school/work.

on weekends, if you have more time you could and should try do the following two
things: b1i learn more sabaq and b2i revise the most recent few ajzā’/paray as they tend
to be the weakest.

You may ask when should you do your school or university work?

You can fit this in right after Hifz class. You should also find little pockets of time to do
this work such as at break and lunch times. You should also do the majority of the work
on the weekends and holidays because your full evening should be deciated to Hifz.

Revision can be done in the Hadr (fast paced recitation whilst maintining tajweed) in
order to revise multiple parts.

Another Hifz schedule for students

This method doesn’t have two cycles of revision per day like others. This method works
for those who have longer class times. This means the amount of revision increases and
is an effective method to memorise whilst retaining the Qur’ān.

If you have memorised 097 ajzā’

07@30B8@00 Revise sabaq

08@00B16@00 School/Work

16@30B16@45 Recite sabaq

16@45B18@00 Revise sabqi/sabaq para

18@00B18@45 Revise half a Juz’ manzil/dohr

19@45B20@45 Learn sabaq

If you have memorised 7915 ajzā’

07@30B8@00 Revise sabaq

08@00B16@00 School/Work

16@30B16@45 Recite sabaq

16@45B18@00 Revise sabqi/sabaq para

18@00B19@30 Revise a Juz’ manzil/dohr

20@30B21@30 Learn sabaq

If you have memorised 15920 ajzā’

07@30B8@00 Revise sabaq

08@00B16@00 School/Work

16@30B16@45 Recite sabaq

16@45B18@00 Revise sabqi/sabaq para

18@00B20@15 Revise 1.5 Juz’ manzil/dohr

21@15B22@15 Learn sabaq

If you have memorised 20930 ajzā’

07@30B8@00 Revise sabaq

08@00B16@00 School/Work

16@30B16@45 Recite sabaq

16@45B18@00 Revise sabqi/sabaq para

18@00B21@00 Revise 2 Juz’ manzil/dohr

22@00B23@00 Learn sabaq

Revise sabqi (most recent lessons) and manzil by reading once by looking, once off
memory and then recite to the teacher. If not, then recite to a friend, buddy, or family
memory. If not, then recite in salaah. This can only be done if sabaq is learnt without
mistakes/stutters. Learn your new memorisation slowly and recite it in salaah.

On the weekend, you can also recite the most recent ajzā’/paras to bridge he gap
between short and long term memory. For example, if you’ve done 24 ajzā’, then you can
recite 22/23/24 on weekends. Do your academic work at break or lunch times and an
hour in between manzil and sabaq. Try to do most of your work on the weekend and in
the holidays.

You can alter the timings to fit your needs and your schedule. Revision should be done
fast. After completing one Juz’, take a day out to perfect it – making sure to remove any
lingering mistakes. In the holidays, increase sabaq and revision.
