How our online Hifz programme works
Each student has a dedicated teacher, one-to-one, and follows the traditional three-part daily system used in Hifz schools:
| Part | What it is | Why it matters |
|---|---|---|
| Sabaq | The new lesson: a few new lines, recited to the teacher | Moves the student forward |
| Sabqi | Revision of the recent portion (roughly the last few pages or juz) | Fixes the new lines in memory |
| Manzil | Revision of older portions, in rotation | Stops earlier portions being forgotten |
The teacher listens to every line, corrects Tajweed as the student recites and adjusts the amount of new lesson to what the student can hold securely.
Is your child ready for Hifz?
- They read the Quran fluently from the mushaf without spelling out words.
- Their pronunciation is correct, including the heavy letters and ghunnah.
- They can concentrate for a full 30-minute lesson.
- There is time every day for practice at home, ideally with a parent checking.
- Most importantly, they want to do it.
Not quite there yet? Start with Quran reading classes or the Tajweed course. Many students begin with short surahs while they build fluency.
How long does it take to memorise the Quran?
The honest answer depends on how much a student memorises each day and how much revision they keep up. For a standard 604-page mushaf, memorising 5 days a week, the maths looks like this:
| New lesson per day | Time for the whole Quran |
|---|---|
| Half a page | about 4.6 years |
| One page | about 2.3 years |
| One and a half pages | about 1.5 years |
Revision days, holidays and slower patches add time, so many students take somewhere between two and five years. Speed is never the goal; a strong, well-revised Hifz is.
A daily routine that works
Most Hifz students take classes 5 days a week. Adults working part-time often do well on 3 days a week with a smaller daily target.
Tips for parents of a young hafiz
- Keep the same time every day. Routine does most of the work.
- Use one mushaf only. Changing editions confuses visual memory.
- Protect revision. Most Hifz problems come from too much new lesson and too little revision.
- Encourage, do not compare. Every child has a different pace.
- Watch for burnout. A smaller daily target that is kept up beats a big one that is dropped.
Hifz for adults
Adults can memorise too, often with better understanding of what they learn. Popular goals are Juz Amma for Salah, Surah Al-Mulk for the night, Surah Al-Kahf for Fridays and Surah Yasin. A teacher keeps your recitation correct and your revision on track.

Frequently asked questions
Can you really do Hifz online?
Yes. Hifz has always worked by a student reciting to a teacher who listens and corrects. A live one-to-one video class does exactly that, and saves the daily journey to a madrasa.
What age should a child start Hifz?
There is no fixed age. Many children start between seven and ten, once they read the Quran fluently and can concentrate for a full lesson. Readiness matters more than age.
Does my child need Tajweed before starting Hifz?
They should read fluently with correct pronunciation. It is much easier to memorise correctly than to fix mistakes after they are memorised. If needed, start with the online Tajweed course.
How much practice is needed at home?
Usually two short sessions a day: one to prepare the new lesson and one to revise. Even 20 to 30 minutes in total, every day, makes a big difference.
Which mushaf should we use?
Use one mushaf and stick with it, because memory is partly visual. The 13-line or 15-line Indo-Pak mushaf and the Madani mushaf are all fine; just do not switch.
Can adults do Hifz?
Yes. Many adults memorise Juz Amma, Surah Yasin, Al-Mulk or Al-Kahf part-time, and some go on to memorise the whole Quran.
How much does the online Hifz course cost?
Most Hifz students choose 5 days a week at £49 a month. Plans for 2 or 3 days a week are £29 and £39. Each class is 30 minutes, one to one.
