Online Hifz Quran Course: What a Lesson and a Week Look Like
An online Hifz course is a structured, one-to-one memorisation programme with a qualified hafiz over video call. Each lesson checks new memorisation, recent revision and older revision, and between lessons you practise a set daily amount. At Mariam Quran Tutor, the dedicated Hifz programme is currently £100 a month.
Key Takeaways
- Each online Hifz lesson typically covers three things: today's new memorisation, recent revision, and older revision.
- Most progress happens between lessons, in short daily practice sessions guided by a clear plan from your teacher.
- Lessons run over Zoom, Skype or Google Meet, so all you need is a device with a camera and microphone.
- Milestones such as finishing Juz 30, then each further juz, help track progress over what is usually a multi-year commitment.
- The Mariam Quran Tutor Hifz programme is currently £100 a month, with lower rates for six-month and yearly plans.
What Happens in a Single Lesson
- Sabaq check. You recite the new portion you've prepared since the last lesson, and your teacher corrects any errors on the spot.
- Sabqi. You recite recently memorised portions, usually from the last week or two, to make sure they're holding.
- Manzil. You recite a section of older memorisation, so nothing learned months ago is left to fade.
- The next sabaq. Your teacher recites the next portion for you, checks your first readings for correct Tajweed, and sets your target.
A Typical Week
| In lessons | Between lessons | |
|---|---|---|
| New memorisation | Checked and corrected | Short daily practice using a method like 3:10 |
| Recent revision | Recited to the teacher | A few minutes daily |
| Older revision | A section each lesson | A rotating portion most days |
| Listening | Teacher recites new portions | Hearing the current portion during the day |
How many lessons you need each week depends on your goal. Many Hifz students choose four or five a week so that new memorisation and revision are checked often, while others start with fewer and build up as their routine settles.
Milestones Along the Way
- Juz 30 (Juz Amma). Where most students begin, full of short surahs used in daily prayer.
- Each further juz. Longer surahs, and a growing revision cycle to maintain.
- Halfway. Often the hardest stretch for motivation, when revision takes as much time as new work.
- Completion. Memorising the entire Quran, followed by ongoing revision to keep it strong for life.
