Quran Memorization Program
Adult and young Muslims with varying levels of knowledge and memorization can sign up with our forever–free Quran Memorization Program. It is open to students who can read the Arabic alphabet (those who cannot, can sign up for our Arabic Language Program to prepare).
The Quran Memorization Program (QMP) offered by Siraj Institute caters to both adult and young Muslims (ages 7+ to 70+), providing them with a structured in-person-only program to memorize the Quran in circles at a Masjid with other Muslims of similar level. Unlike online programs and private tutors, the Siraj QMP offers comprehensive guidance and support in memorizing the Quran.
The Prophet ﷺ said:
ما اجتَمَعَ قَومٌ في بَيتٍ مِن بُيوتِ اللهِ تَعالى، يَتلُونَ كِتابَ اللهِ، ويَتَدارَسونَه بَينَهم؛ إلَّا نَزَلتْ عليهمُ السَّكينةُ، وغَشيَتْهمُ الرَّحمةُ، وحَفَّتْهمُ المَلائِكةُ، وذَكَرَهمُ اللهُ فيمَن عِندَه
“No group of people gathers in one of the houses of Allah, reciting the Book of Allah and studying it among themselves, except that tranquility descends upon them, mercy envelops them, angels surround them, and Allah mentions them to those near Him.”
Features of QMP
With a structure that balances
