The Quran is the book of Allah that was sent down upon His servant Muhammad PBUH and it is the greatest miracle on the face of the Earth. He challenged mankind to produce the like of it and no one was able to do that. The Muslim derives his creed from it and knows from it how to worship Allah as He rightfully should be worshipped. The Quran consists of several Surahs and many Muslims strive to learn the Surahs in order. Therefore, we will talk in this article about the best ways to facilitate learning Surah’s in order.
Learning the Surahs of the Quran
The Quran includes all ethics, rulings and transactions and it is your guide to salvation in this world and the Hereafter and to the knowledge of Allah through His names and attributes. Without it, man lives in darkness, misguidance and disorientation, therefore, Muslims must be keen to learn the Surahs in order to facilitate the memorization of information and acting upon it.
In the Hadith of Abu Hurairah, may Allah be pleased with him, from the Prophet PBUH that he said:
«فضل كلام الله على سائر الكلام كفضل الله على سائر خلقه»
[The superiority of the speech of Allah over all other speech is like the superiority of Allah over all His creation.]

Is learning Surah’s in order important during memorization?
A Muslim can memorize any Surah that he desires and order is not stipulated, however, learning Surah’s in order has great importance in many aspects, including that it facilitates the division and memorization of the Surahs. It enhances long-term memory and assists in the contemplation of the Ayat and their good application. It was narrated from Imam Ibn al-Anbari that he said:
(Allah sent down the entire Quran to the lowest heaven, then He divided it over twenty-odd years. The Surah would be revealed for a matter that occurred and the Ayah as an answer to an inquirer. Jibreel would inform the Prophet, (PBUH), of the position of the Ayah and the Surah. So the sequence of the Surahs is like the sequence of the Ayahs and the letters, all from the Prophet, (PBUH). Whoever puts a Surah forward or delays it has corrupted the structure of the Quran).
What are the easiest ways to memorize the Surahs in order?
After we clarified the importance of learning Surah’s in order, here are the most important tips that assist you in memorization:
- Initially, define your goal for memorization so that you are encouraged during times of weak motivation. It is preferable to determine the amount that you wish to memorize.
- Divide the single Surah into several small parts and choose the times when you feel most focused for memorization.
- Stay away from distractions such as social media and epeat the Ayat several times and recite from the memorized part within the Salah to consolidate it.
- You can seek assistance from some electronic applications that contain the Tafseer of the Ayat so that memorization becomes easier for you.

In what order should I learn the Quran?
You can learn the Quran better initially through contemplating the Mufassal Surahs because they are short Surahs and among the first that were revealed to the Prophet (PBUH) and in them is the mention of Jannah and Nar. From the Hadith of our mother Aisha, may Allah be pleased with her, that the first thing revealed was a Surah from the Mufassal, in which Jannah and Nar were mentioned, until when the people embraced Islam, the Halal and Haram were revealed. And it was revealed in Makkah and I was a young girl playing:
«والساعة أدهى وأمر»
[But the Hour is more grievous and more bitter].
The Mufassal of the Quran begins from Surah Qaf to Surah An-Nas. After mastering these Surahs, you can move on to the long Surahs.

What is Allah’s most loved surah?
Al-Fatihah is the greatest Surah in the holy Quran, to the extent that it is a fundamental pillar of Salah and Salah is not valid without it under any circumstances. It was narrated from Abu Sa’id ibn Al-Mu’alla, he said:
كُنْتُ أُصَلِّي فِي المَسْجِدِ، فَدَعَانِي رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ؛ فَلَمْ أُجِبْهُ، فَقُلْتُ: يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ، إِنِّي كُنْتُ أُصَلِّي، فَقَالَ: “أَلَمْ يَقُلِ اللَّهُ: «اسْتَجِيبُوا لِلَّهِ وَلِلرَّسُولِ إِذَا دَعَاكُمْ لِمَا يُحْيِيكُمْ» ثُمَّ قَالَ لِي: «لَأُعَلِّمَنَّكَ سُورَةً هِيَ أَعْظَمُ السُّوَرِ فِي القُرْآنِ، قَبْلَ أَنْ تَخْرُجَ مِنَ المَسْجِدِ» ثُمَّ أَخَذَ بِيَدِي، فَلَمَّا أَرَادَ أَنْ يَخْرُجَ، قُلْتُ لَهُ: «أَلَمْ تَقُلْ: لَأُعَلِّمَنَّكَ سُورَةً هِيَ أَعْظَمُ سُورَةٍ فِي القُرْآنِ»، قَالَ: {الحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ رَبِّ العَالَمِينَ} «هِيَ السَّبْعُ المَثَانِي، وَالقُرْآنُ العَظِيمُ الَّذِي أُوتِيتُهُ».
I was praying in the mosque and the Messenger of Allah, (PBUH), called me; but I did not answer him. I said: O Messenger of Allah, I was praying. He said: “Did Allah not say: [Respond to Allah and to the Messenger when he calls you to that which gives you life]?” Then he said to me: “I will surely teach you a Surah which is the greatest of the Surahs in the Quran, before you leave the mosque.” Then he took my hand. When he wanted to leave, I said to him: “Did you not say: ‘I will surely teach you a Surah which is the greatest Surah in the Quran’?” He said: (Alhamdu lillaahi Rabbil ‘aalameen) which is [Praise be to Allah, Lord of the worlds.] “It is the (As-Sab’ Al-Mathani) and the Great Quran which I was given.”
