Short answer
There's no single target — it depends on the stage. As a guide: beginners cover 1–3 Noorani Qaida lessons a week, fluent readers read 1–5 pages a week with tajweed, and Hifz students typically memorise 3–10 new lines a day, five days a week, alongside revision.
| Stage | Realistic weekly amount |
|---|---|
| Noorani Qaida | 1–3 lessons (pages) mastered |
| Juz Amma reading | 2–4 short surahs read accurately |
| Fluent Quran reading | 1–5 pages with tajweed |
| Hifz (age 8–12) | 15–40 new lines + revision |
| Hifz (teens, full-time pace) | 1–3 pages + revision |
Accuracy over quantity
Moving on before a lesson is correct leads to weak foundations. A good teacher only moves forward when the current lesson is solid.
Revision counts
For Hifz, revising old portions is as important as new memorisation.
