Quran, Hifz & Tajweed
A parent asks

How do I keep my child’s Hifz strong during the summer holidays?

Bloomtivo answers

Protect revision first, new memorisation second. During the six-week UK summer break: revise a fixed portion every morning (for example a quarter of everything memorised each week), keep at least one or two lessons a week, recite to relatives when visiting, and plan a lighter week for travel. Return in September with one week of full revision before new work.

The full answer

Summer is when Hifz often slips. A simple plan keeps it safe, and can even strengthen it.

The summer plan (6 weeks)

WeekFocus
1Revision of the newest memorisation
2–5Weekly revision cycle + light new work
Travel weekRevision only, 10–15 minutes a day
6Full revision; weak spots

Daily routine (at home)

  • Morning, before plans: 15–30 minutes revision.
  • New lines only after revision is done.
  • Evening: recite to a parent once.

How much to revise

Divide everything memorised into 5 or 7 portions and revise one portion a day. See weekly revision cycle.

Travelling

  • Lessons can continue online. See lessons abroad.
  • Recite in prayers on the trip.
  • Recite to grandparents and relatives; it motivates children.

Back to school

The first week of September: revision only. Then restart new memorisation.

Teacher’s tip: a summer recital at the end of August, in front of family, gives children a goal to revise for. See a summer Quran boost.
