A parent asks

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 full answer

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.
