"And We have certainly made the Qur'ān easy for remembrance, so is there any who will remember?"
Assess Each Juz
Tap each juz to set its condition. Your method, pages-per-day, and cycle length all flow from this. Add a note for any specific weak pages, surahs, or muthashabihat you want to remember.
Sample Revision Plan
Your full cycle laid out by day. Each juz is divided across the appropriate number of days based on its current condition.
| Juz | Condition | Amount | Day |
|---|
Your Cycle
A bird's-eye view of how your revision is structured. With each completed cycle, weak juz strengthen and the total cycle shortens, bi ithnillāh.
The Sub-Cycle
When a juz becomes stable in the main revision cycle — strong or very strong — it enters a lighter sub-cycle. Read once from the mushaf daily (or halved across two days) by looking. Not intensive revision — preservation.
How it works
As more ajzā' become strong and stable, they join the sub-cycle progressively. Over time, the student will either read one full juz daily from the mushaf, or divide it into two halves over two days.
This creates long-term preservation alongside the main active revision cycle.
The method
Sub-cycle revision is looking-only — once through the mushaf with presence and care. There are no memory repetitions and no intensive drills.
It should feel lightweight, sustainable, and calming.
Once juz reach strong condition, they will appear here for daily preservation reading.
New Revision
For students still memorising. New revision is the juz you're currently working through — recited daily from the start to keep it fresh in memory.
Choose your current juz and page to see your daily new revision portion.
Recite this portion every single day from the start of the juz up to your current page. Target: 2–5x mushaf + 2–5x memory. Bare minimum: 1x mushaf + 1x memory.
Why daily from the start?
A new lesson, when first memorised, leaves the memory very quickly if not revised swiftly and consistently. Reciting from the start of the juz every day means that throughout the entire period of memorising that juz, you accumulate a large amount of repetition — and this repeated revision allows the juz to become firmly embedded.

01 — Understanding Revision
Begin here
New Revision
When it comes to revision, revision is of two types: new revision and old revision.
The new revision refers to the revision that is closest to the present lesson, meaning the most recently memorised portions. This may be the last juz or the last two ajzā’.
Old revision refers to everything aside from your most recent revision. These two revisions are divided because they are treated differently and require different approaches.
How to Approach Your New Revision
You are to recite the new revision from the beginning of the juz every single day up until wherever you have memorised.
This matters because a new lesson often leaves the memory very quickly if it is not revised swiftly and consistently.
Two Ways to Revise New Revision
You may revise from the beginning of the current juz every day, or add the juz before it as part of your new revision. This can be done by reciting the entire juz daily or dividing it into halves.
- Day one — revise the first half of the juz.
- Day two — revise the second half of the juz before your current new lesson.
New Revision Repetitions
- 2 to 5 times whilst looking into the mus’haf.
- 2 to 5 times from memory.
If you run out of time, do the bare minimum: 1 time whilst looking and 1 time from memory.
02 — Revision Conditions
Assess honestly
Old Revision
Old revision does not require reciting everything every single day. Rather, divide the amount of ajzā’ you have memorised over a structured timeframe.
General Old Revision Repetitions
- 2 to 5 times whilst looking into the mus’haf.
- 2 to 5 times from memory.
Revision Conditions
- Completely forgotten
- Very weak
- Weak
- Average
- Strong
- Very strong
03 — The 4H System
The framework
Introduction
Most students do not struggle because they are lazy or inconsistent. They struggle because they are revising with no system.
The 4H System gives structure by answering four questions:
- How much per day.
- How to revise.
- How long per session.
- How often to complete a cycle.
How Much to Revise
| Condition | Amount | Cycle Time |
|---|---|---|
| Weak juz | 2.5 pages per day | 8 days |
| Average juz | 5 pages per day | 4 days |
| Strong juz | 10 pages per day | 2 days |
| Very strong juz | Full 20 pages | 1 day |
04 — How To Revise
The method
Match the method to the condition
Your revision method should match the condition of the portion. Do not use the same approach for every page or juz.
Before revising a page, ask yourself: How well do I know this?
Recommended Repetition Structure
- Weak pages: 5x from mus’haf + 4x from memory
- Average pages: 3x from mus’haf + 3x from memory
- Strong pages: 2x from mus’haf + 1–2x from memory
- Very strong pages: 1x from mus’haf + 1x from memory
05 — Revision Timing
Plan your day
How Long to Revise
Your time will depend on how many pages you are revising and the condition of each page.
| Portion | Amount | Time |
|---|---|---|
| Weak pages | 2.5 pages | 30–45 mins |
| Average pages | 5 pages | 25–30 mins |
| Strong pages | 10 pages | 20–25 mins |
| Very strong pages | Full juz | 30 mins, one pass |
Implementation Note
If you are short on time, split your revision: half in the morning and half later in the day. Small chunks still add up.
06 — Building Your Revision Cycle
The full plan
Creating Your Cycle
Step 1: Assess each juz you have memorised.
Step 2: Assign a timeframe based on its condition.
Step 3: Add them up. This total becomes your full revision cycle.
Sample Revision Plan
| Juz | Condition | Amount | Day |
|---|---|---|---|
| 29 | Weak | 2.5 pages | Day One |
| 29 | 2.5 pages | Day Two | |
| 29 | 2.5 pages | Day Three | |
| 29 | 2.5 pages | Day Four | |
| 29 | 2.5 pages | Day Five | |
| 29 | 2.5 pages | Day Six | |
| 29 | 2.5 pages | Day Seven | |
| 29 | 2.5 pages | Day Eight |
07 — Important Notes
Read carefully
Every Portion Must Be Repeated in Two Ways
- Whilst looking into the mus’haf.
- Then from memory.
If you do not first read from the mus’haf, over time you may begin to lose visualisation of the portion. This opens the door to mistakes: adding words, omitting words, adding letters, or omitting letters.
Repetition Numbers Are Approximate
The numbers are general guidelines. Your true endpoint is not a specific number. Your repetitions end when the portion has become excellent.
Revision Methods
Choose the right approach for each portion's condition. Every portion is revised in two stages: first mushaf, then memory. This preserves visualisation and catches mistakes the memory cannot.
Completely forgotten Re-memorise
No ability to recite from memory and no recollection of the āyāt. Treat as new memorisation — start from scratch.
Very weak 7–10x
You can recite while looking, but very little from memory.
Weak 6–9x
You can recite from memory but with many mistakes.
Average 5–7x
You recite fluently from memory but still make an excessive amount of mistakes per page or surah.
Strong 3–5x
You make very few mistakes throughout the portion.
Very strong 1–3x
Two mistakes or fewer throughout the entire portion.
Pages Per Day
How much you revise depends on the juz's strength. Stronger juz move faster; weaker juz need slower, deeper passes.
Weak juz
2.5 pages/day → 8 days per juz. 30–45 min per session.
Average juz
5 pages/day → 4 days per juz. 25–30 min per session.
Strong juz
10 pages/day → 2 days per juz. 20–25 min per session.
Very strong juz
Full juz/day. 30 min — one pass.
True endpoint is excellence
Repetition numbers are guidelines. The real measure: keep going until the portion is recited without mistakes. With each cycle the same portion needs fewer reps, because your memorisation strengthens. Weak → Average → Strong → Very Strong.
