Repeating reading with concentration helps you in the Hifz process without much effort, but rather makes Hifz easy and smooth. Repetition techniques are best to hifz short surah in five minutes and you can able to memoize surahs in 1 hour on a lengthy surah.

3. Emphasis on memorizing the beginning of each verse

Memorizing the first word of each verse helps you memorize it easily. Imagine that you know all the beginnings of the verses in the whole surah. You can easily read the verses by heart, and this is one of the most important ways to master memorization easily and in a short time. Also, linking verses together after understanding their meanings helps greatly in speeding up correct memorization.

4. Pay attention to the end of similar verses

Identifying and memorizing the ending of similar verses helps you facilitate memorization because you are aware of all the verses that have the same ending, which helps you memorize the surah with mastery and concentration so that if you come across another similar verse in another surah, you can compare it with similar verses and realize the difference between them.

Reading and understanding the Quranic words and verses from a simplified interpretation enables us to understand what the verses are talking about. 

All of this helps in memorizing the Holy Quran well and masterfully, for you will have memorized and understood it in order for it to help you later in applying the Quran, and this is the primary goal for which we memorize the Quran.

6. Divide each page of surah into 2-3 parts, then start Hifz

The technique of dividing a page into two or three parts is an effective technique for greatly facilitating and perfecting Hifz. You begin by dividing each page of the surah into several parts and allocating time for each part. Start your Hifz with this technique, and after you finish the page, you review it until it sticks in your memory and move on to the next page until you complete the entire surah.

7. Use a timer to track time

Using a stopwatch for memorization helps you set a specific time to memorize the Quran fast. Start with full concentration on memorization during the time you will specify. Also, one of the benefits of a stopwatch is that it teaches you to make memorization an easy daily routine because it is limited to specific minutes in which you feel accomplished enough to memorize a page of the Quran in 5 minutes.

8. Recite the whole Surah by heart once

After completing the memorization process, the stage of consolidation will come from reviewing the entire surah by reciting it by heart until Hifz is fixed in memory, and after that, it will be easy to recall the surah from memory whenever you want to recite it.

9. Use Use a 3×3 Quran Memorization Technique

This technique helps to memorize surahs quickly, which is that you divide the surah into three parts, and each part is divided into three verses, you begin to memorize the first three verses, and then the three verses that follow them, and so on until you memorize the entire surah and review what has been memorized once. It is the best technique to memoize quran and never forget it.

10. Use 3:10 Hifdh Technique

Many teachers use this technique for its success with many students. You read the first line on the page 10 times by looking at your Mushaf to memorize, then you read it 3 times from memory without looking at Mushaf.

And after mastering its memorization, you move to the second line and apply the same steps before moving to the third line; you read the first two lines together 10 times by looking at Mushaf and three times from memory, then move on to the next lines in the same way until you finish and memorize 1 page of Quran fast and perfectly, review it, and recite it by heart, then move on to the next page in the same way.
