A simple Hifz revision (murajaah) plan for children

Published 26 September 2026 · Rahber Institute teaching team

In short

Split each day into three parts: new lesson (sabaq), recent lessons (sabqi) and older revision (manzil). Revision keeps the memorised Quran strong.

  • Revision matters as much as new memorisation.
  • Use the sabaq, sabqi, manzil method.
  • Short daily revision beats long weekend catch-ups.

The three parts

  • Sabaq: today's new lines
  • Sabqi: the last few days' lessons
  • Manzil: older parts, rotated through the week

A school-day example

  • Morning before school: 10 minutes manzil
  • After-school class: sabaq with the teacher
  • Evening: 10 minutes sabqi with a parent listening

When revision slips

If mistakes build up, slow down new memorisation for a week and focus on revision. A strong base matters more than speed.

Parents also ask

Can I help with revision if I'm not a Hafiz?

Yes. Follow along in the mushaf and point out where your child stops or skips. The teacher corrects the details.
