Say, "O My servants who have transgressed against themselves [by sinning], do not despair of the mercy of Allah. Indeed, Allah forgives all sins. Indeed, it is He who is the Forgiving, the Merciful." - Al Qur'an [39:53]

Description

Narrated Ibn Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him): “The man amongst us used to learn no more than ten verses till he knew their meaning and acted upon them.” - Tafsir At-Tabari, volume 1, Page 80.

The Quran Memorization Program aims to provide a systematic approach to memorizing the Holy Quran as well as its comprehension and implementation. Using the Quran and various Islamic texts which include the Tafsir and Hadiths associated to the passages assigned, students will be able to retain the information through continuous memorization, review, tests, and exams that will be drawn from the materials covered in the program.

The first class will begin with readings from the Tafsir and Hadiths pertaining to the verses assigned. Students will then be given 30-45 minutes to memorize the verses and paired with other classmates for practice testing. Tajweed of the students will also be reviewed to ensure correct recitation. Prior to the beginning of the next class, students will be tested and the Tafsir and Hadith for the next verses will be introduced. This format may change to accommodate students.
