If we fail to plan, we plan to fail.
Therefore, First, UNDERSTAND the Task. Next, make the PLAN. Then, ASK Allah make the task easy. And, START the Task.

For Understanding Al-Qur'an
First get to know…
How many words are there? How fast can the human brain learn new
words? How many days will it take?
6
In the MUSHAF from Madinah, (or the one used by those who memorize the
Qur’an)
Pages in the Mus-haf 600 Lines per page 15 Words per Line 9 Total Words in every page 130 Total Words (130 x 600) 78,000
Approximately
7
In the MUSHAF from Madinah, (or the one used by those who memorize the
Qur’an)
Non-repeated Words 17,000 Unique words
(after learning صرف) 4,500

Easy to Learn!
Allah says, “Verily We have made Al-Qur'an EASY to understand and remember”
So the suggestion that “Al-Qur'an is difficult” is from shaitan! Even in your thoughts, NEVER agree with it and NEVER say it.
Do we want to contradict what Allah says in the Qur’an? (May Allah forgive us!)
9
Easy to Learn!
Allah has made His Al-Qur'an easy for us in many wonderful ways. For example,…
The words of Surah Fatihah are repeated …
7500 times in Al-Qur'an!
10
Easy to Learn: Step 1
Words (and their derivatives) from Salaah – the Surah Fatiha, 6 often used small surahs, the usual dhikr words and 4 usual du’aas are found 40,000 times in the Qur’aan.
This means 50% of the words… or every 2nd word in the Qur’aan is from DAILY Salaah!
That is the content of our Short Course-1
11
Easy to Learn: Step 2
Additional Recitations- 5 Last Surahs - Selections from the Qur’an- SupplicationsLearnt Basic Words (from 2 courses) : 250 Occurrences in Al-Qur'an : 55,000
That is the content of our Short Course -2
12
After the 2 Short Courses …
Unfamiliar/New words found in Al-Qur'an
Juz’/ Paarah 1 : 20 per page
Juz’ / Paarah 2 to 5 : 12 per page
Juz’ / Paarah 6 to 28 : 6 per page Juz’ / Paarah 29 to 30 : 12 per page

Repetition / Reinforcement Opportunity on Every Page of Al-Qur'an!
New Words per page : 20 TOTAL words per page :
130 Repeated words : 110 Therefore, each page ensure enough
revision of the words that have learnt earlier!!!
15
Human Brain Capacity???
New Words memorizable per Day : 15 The Secret of this Capacity :
Repetition
Repetition ensures that the learnt words get stored in the PERMANENT MEMORY of the brain
17
The Problem is NOT Time or Effort,
It is just your Attitude , your Thought!
Make it a Part of your Daily Routine Life. Like you eat 3 times and drink water 5-6
times. When you want to memorize the
meaning of new words, follow the Sunnah of Allah (for memorizing… because that is the way He designed the brain).
For this, adopt 2 main aids:– Vocabulary sheets & Posters– Friends (to help you and team up with)
18
Just 200 hours!
To understand Al-Qur’an, you need 200 Hours! (20 hours for the 2 short courses + 6 hours for each of the 30 Juz’u/Paarah)
Start A.S.A.P. (As Soon As Possible)
When you have any way decided to learn, Why Delay?
19
Du’aa
May Allah (Sub-hanahu wa Ta-’aalah) help us to:
Read Al-Qur'an Understand Al-Qur'an Reflect/Contemplate upon Al-Qur'an Implement / Act upon Al-Qur'an Spread the learning and the message of
Al-Qur'an(Aameen!)

Understanding Qur’anvs.
Learning Arabic Language
3 Major Differences in our approach
28
28
No. 1: Smooth Start
Start from Salah (Why use any other text, for Qur’an)…
If I want to teach you French and if I know that you speak something in French for 1 hour, I will say: Learn that first!
A common sense approach Valid for every Muslim man, woman,
old, and young, and even for a child …
29
No. 2: Focus on Listening and Reading
Language Learning
Understanding Qur’an
Reception
Listening Reading
Production
Speaking - X-
Writing -X-

More focus on Vocabulary (just the way a child learns…)
Less focus on grammar; otherwise if we teach the way shown below, people will run away!
No. 3: More Focus on Vocabulary
