Online Hifz Quran Course for Kids & Adults
First of all, the memorization of the holy Quran is one of the ways that Allah (SWT) chose to protect his book from any change or distortion. The Arabic known word that is used for memorization is (Hifz Quran) it is even used more by the non-Arab Muslims as the Quran was revealed to prophet Muhammad (PBUH) in the classical Arabic language. So, most of the Muslims use this Arabic word Hifz Quran to refer to this process in which the student dedicates himself to the task of keeping the verses of the Quran in the hearts and in the minds as well. This task is called the Memorization the Quran (Hifz Quran). The practice of Hifz Quran transmitted through the different generations.
From prophet (PBUH) who was told in one the verses of the Quran
لَا تُحَرِّكْ بِهِ لِسَانَكَ لِتَعْجَلَ بِهِ (16) إِنَّ عَلَيْنَا جَمْعَهُ وَقُرْآنَهُ (17) فَإِذَا قَرَأْنَاهُ فَاتَّبِعْ قُرْآنَهُ (18)
القيامة (16-18)
“Move not your tongue with it, [O Muhammad], to hasten with it [i.e., recitation of the Quran]. Indeed, upon Us is its collection [in your heart] and [to make possible] its recitation So when We have recited it [through Gabriel], then follow its recitation”. (Qiyamah 16-18)
Then the Companions received it from prophet, and they did Hifz Quran in their hearts and in writing. They used to write the verses on the available means then like the skinny sheets, bones, boards, stones, palm leaves, etc. In short, this practice was widely known and passed through generations until this present time. This modern time is characterized by the amazing development of technology and digital processes. Therefore, Hifz Quran also continued to be preserved through these digital means. You can easily notice that the majority of Muslims’ children who live in US, UK, Australia and Europe do Hifz Quran online with expert tutors who have IJAZAH in teaching Quran.

The importance of Hifz Quran
Hifz Quran or the memorization of the Quran is a sacred tradition because the first one who started this was prophet Muhammad who is considered the first Hafiz (the first one to memorize the holy Quran). Then the Companions imitated the prophet and did Hifz by heart because basically the Arab was known of their sharp memory and Quran was originally transmitted orally. As a matter of fact, the significance of Hifz Quran is not only in memorizing the text and that is it. Rather, the true significance of Hifz Quran lies in preserving the religious limits and obligations that Almighty Allah has mentioned in the Quran. Add to this, to think carefully about the meanings of these verses and surahs that you already memorized and try your best to apply and practice what you learnt to obtain Allah’s guidance and to become a source of guidance to others as well.
Our beloved prophet (PBUH) once stated:
“خيركم من تعلم القرآن وعلمه“
(5027) رواه البخاري
[The best among you is those who learn Quran and taught it to others]
Narrated by Al-Bukhari (5027)
How to take the initial step in Hifz Quran online?
1. Intention (Niyyah)
In Islam, we should know that our acts of worship are judged according to our intentions. This is exactly what is meant by the words of prophet Muhammad (PBUH) when he said in the Hadith:
“إنما الأعمال بالنيات”
رواه البخاري (1)
[Actions are judged by intentions]
Narrated by Al-Bukhari (1)
Consequently, the first and the most important step in commencing Hifz Quran is having a good intention. Some students who learn Quran think that the process of Quran memorization needs only intellectual concentration. However, it needs spiritual one in the first place. Therefore, Hifz Quran students’ motivation should be directed to getting Allah’s pleasure and serving his/her religion. In brief, having a sincere intention turns the action from a regular habit to an act of worship (ibadah).
2. Selecting the online expert tutor
Can you memorize the Quran on your own?
To be honest, Hifz Quran traditionally needs a teacher. This teacher, known as ‘Qari’ or ‘shaykh’, can be male or female according to the age and the gender of the student. The effective role of the teacher is providing the students with the rules of recitation and the proper pronunciation (Tajweed), as well as monitoring Hifz Quran process.
The learner should select the expert if he/she is an adult. However, if the learner is young, so the selection is given to the parents because Hifz Quran with expert tutor ensures that the student will not just focus on memorizing the words, but also will connect the student with the beautiful meanings of the verses being memorized. Therefore, selecting the expert tutor can help preserve the integrity of the Quranic text.
