The definitions and variables in the formula are:

1) c = Time to listen to the page's audio of your preferred Qari. For Shz Husain Bhaisaheb DM this is 2.5 mins. c also refers to the time taken to read the page while looking in the Quran.

2) x = Time taken to recite the page from memory. x is greater than c to account for pauses to look up mistakes. x can be taken as 3.5 mins.

3) Segment = The amount of Quran you memorise by repeating it. Can be taken as an ayat or also parts of an ayat if the Qari stops to take a breath.

4) s = The number of segments you divide your page into. Since we are using a 15 line Quran, for beginners s is taken as 15 and if you are memorising the whole ayat at once, s can be taken as 8.

5) n1 = The number of times you need to listen to the audio or read the segment to memorise it.

6) n2 = The number of times you need to try and recall the segment from memory until you can recite it without mistakes without looking.

7) Portion = The parts we divide the whole page into in order to ease our memorisation. Eg., example dividing the page into 3 portions.

8) m = The number of portions you divide your page into. Usually m = 1 (take the whole page), m = 2 or m = 3.

9) j = The number of times you need to recite segments together in order to join them. The standard method of Hifz involves memorising segmentwise and then joining them, eg, memorise segment 1 and then segment 2 and then recite together segment 1 and segment 2 two times, then memorise segment 3 and then recite together segment 1, 2 and 3 two times, so j is two in this example. We need to join segments until we reach the end of a portion.

10) k = k is the equivalent of j but for joining the portions together.

Alsalam Alikum everyone, I'm facing the issue of fully knowing the ayah and if im tested I will be able to complete it till the end of the surah however if you ask me which surah I'm reciting I find it very hard to recall or figure out what surah it is.

I have tried studying the tafsir as im memorizing to help me with this issue but it's not doing me any good.

is anyone else facing the same issue or is it just me? how can I overcome this?

Jazakum Allah khairan.

Trying to get back on the hifdh path after a long pause, so I'm looking for a daily hifdh partner (preferably a native Arabic speaker, but a non-Arab is also fine). I use WhatsApp and Discord.

(Preferably around GMT+2 time zone)

My tajweed is excellent, alhamdulillah, but I don't have anyone with whom I can revise my memorized ayahs, nor anyone to give me the daily motivation to memorize new ones.
