WHAT ARE HIFZ AND HAFIZ?
Hafiz or Hafiza are titles given to anyone who memorizes the Quran. The literal meaning of the word Hafiz is “Guardian.” Allah SWT promised humanity that He will protect the Quran from any change. Hence, the Huffaz are the persons Allah chose as the guardians of the Holy Quran. Furthermore, the process of becoming a Hafiz/Hafiza is called Hifz.

- Procedure to Memorize the Quran
- Overview of the Process
- Programs We Offer
We provide a straightforward and effective methodology in that students can memorize the Quran with little time. A school-going student can also achieve this great task if they have the determination and interest to learn the Quran by heart. In-Shaa-Allah.
Initially, the student must allocate 30 minutes to the teacher for classwork until two sections/Juz are memorized. After that, the class duration is extended to 60 minutes daily, five days a week. The student should also dedicate 60 to 120 minutes at home to complete the assigned tasks, spreading them out over several days. Typically, it takes about three years for an average student to finish memorizing the Holy Quran online, though the timeline may differ from one student to another.
We understand that memorizing the Quran is complex and requires time and dedication. And somehow, not everyone could thoroughly memorize the Holy Quran. So, we have developed some variations in the online Quran memorization program.
- Memorize the Whole Quran: Your main goal should be to memorize the Quran to become one of the closest to Allah SWT and earn the title of Hafiz because It is the word of Allah SWT, the Most High, the Most Merciful. Memorizing the Quran is a way to get closer to Allah SWT by learning His words and understanding His message.
- Memorize Selected Surahs: We know memorizing the Quran is quite tricky for busy people, so we offer another plan called memorizing selected surahs to read daily and receive Allah’s blessing.
Here is a list of the selected Surahs
✔️ Surah Kahf: Abu Hurairah reported that the Prophet (peace be upon him) said: “Whoever memorizes the first ten verses of Surah al-Kahf will be protected from the Dajjal.” (Sahih Muslim)
✔️ Surah Maryam: The Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) also said: “Whoever reads Surah Maryam will be protected from the evil of the Shaytaan and his followers.” (Baihaqi)

✔️ Surah Yaseen: The Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) said: “Everything has a heart, and the heart of the Quran is Yasin. Whoever reads it, it is as if he has read the Quran ten times.” (Tirmidhi)

✔️ Surah Al-Muzzammil: Surah Al-Muzzammil begins with Allah calling to the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) and instructing him to stand in prayer all night, except for a little while. This reminds all Muslims of the importance of prayer, especially night prayer.
✔️ Surah Al-Insan: The Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) said: “Whoever studies Surah Hal-ata (Surah Al-Insan) will be rewarded Heaven and clothes of silk (in Heaven) by Allah.” (Sunan an-Nasa’i)
✔️ Surah an-Naba’: The Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) said: “Whoever recites Surah an-Naba’ every night will not be overtaken by the Day of Judgment.” (Sahih al-Bukhari)
