Hifdhstatus

In this episode Ustadh Hameem, a Hafdih and student at the university of Cambridge shares his personal moments on his Hifdh journey here in London. Listen in as he takes us through moments where he would have to repeat a verse 300 times before memorising it, and how this has lead to him attaining a rock-solid memory of the Qur’an wherein every Surah is as easy Surah Al-Fatiha!

This episode places a realistic lense on the hifdh journey and presents practical tips both Huffadh and aspiring Huffadh can implement. The parents of Ustadh Hameem were parents who placed immense effort into nuturing their child, providing a stable household which was built upon a strong understanding of Islam.

Truly an inspirational episode which we ask Allah to accept from us and the guest, and all those who take part in sharing the hifdhstatus initiative.

May Allah سبحانه وتعالى place blessings into the hifdhstatus initiative and make it a source of motivation and inspiration for those embarking on their journey with the Qur'ān.
