What is a good plan to memorise the last ten surahs of the Quran?
Bloomtivo answers
The last ten surahs, Al-Fil (105) to An-Nas (114), have 48 verses in total. Starting from An-Nas and working backwards, one surah a week is a gentle pace for a young child, so all ten take about ten weeks. Older children can often do two a week. Revise all earlier surahs once a week throughout.

The last ten surahs are short, recited often in prayer, and a perfect first Hifz goal.

Each week
Day 1–3: learn the new surah, one or two verses a day.
Day 4–5: recite the whole new surah, then use it in salah.
Day 6: revise all earlier surahs once.
Day 7: rest, or recite to a family member.
Adjust the pace
Younger children (4–6): one surah a week or slower.
Older children: two a week is often comfortable.
If older surahs start slipping, pause new ones for a week.
Celebrate at the end
Ten surahs is a real milestone. Let your child recite all ten for the family, and mark it with a small celebration.
Teacher’s tip: Al-Ma’un (week 8) has the most verses. Give it an extra few days if needed.
Start with 2 free trial lessons. If your child does not get on with the teacher, we change the teacher and the trial lessons stay free until your child is comfortable. After that, you choose a paid plan that fits your child.
