How I Memorized Surah Yaseen Easily (And How You Can Too!)
Memorizing Surah Yaseen felt impossible when I first started. I’d try, get frustrated, and give up. But once I found the right method, everything changed. If you’re struggling to memorize Surah Yaseen, don’t worry! I’ll share my personal experience and a simple schedule that makes it easy—even if you’re busy.
Memorizing Surah Yaseen Step by step
Step 1: Start with a Strong Intention (Why Are You Doing This?)
At first, I was memorizing just because I thought I should. But when I reminded myself that every letter I learn is a reward from Allah, my motivation skyrocketed.
🌟 Tip: Before you begin, say to yourself:
“Ya Allah, I want to memorize Surah Yaseen for Your sake. Make it easy for me.”
Step 2: Listen Before You Read
One thing that really helped me was listening to Surah Yaseen before trying to read it. When I listened to a slow recitation, my brain automatically picked up the rhythm, making it easier to memorize later.
🎧 What worked for me:
I repeated after the reciter, even if I didn’t know the words yet.
I chose a clear and slow reciter (Mishary Rashid Alafasy was my favorite).
I played the Surah every morning while getting ready.
Step 3: Divide It Into Small, Easy Parts
Memorizing 83 verses at once? Nope. That’s overwhelming. Instead, I broke it into tiny parts and focused on just a few lines daily.
📝 Here’s the schedule I followed:
| Day | Verses to Memorize | What to Do |
|---|---|---|
| Day 1 | 1–3 | Listen, repeat, and write them down. |
| Day 2 | 4–6 | Recite yesterday’s verses, then add new ones. |
| Day 3 | 7–9 | Keep revising old verses before moving on. |
| Day 4 | Review Day 1-3 | Don’t move forward—just revise what you know. |
| Day 5 | 10–12 | Start fresh with a small portion. |
| Day 6 | 13–15 | Repeat the same process. |
| Day 7 | Review Day 1-6 | Read everything aloud and check for mistakes. |
💡 Best Part? This schedule only takes 10-15 minutes a day!
Step 4: Write It Down (Seriously, This Works!)
I discovered that writing down each verse helped me remember it much faster. When I wrote the Arabic words, I could actually “see” them in my head later while reciting.
📖 What I did:
- I used a small notebook and wrote every new verse after learning it.
- I read what I wrote before sleeping—it helped me memorize while I slept!
- I reviewed my notes every Friday.
✍️ Try This: Write one verse per day and say it aloud while writing.
Step 5: Read With Meaning (It Sticks Better!)
At first, I was just memorizing words. But when I started reading the translation, everything became 10 times easier. Knowing the meaning made each verse more familiar and helped me recall it faster.
📌 My Simple Trick:
When I forgot a verse, I recalled its meaning, and the words came back to me!
I read the English meaning first before memorizing.
Step 6: Use Salah to Lock It in Your Mind
One of the easiest ways to memorize is by reciting Surah Yaseen in Salah. This was a game-changer for me!
🕌 How I Did It:
Tahajjud (Optional): If I woke up at night, I used that quiet time for revision.
Fajr Prayer: I recited 2-3 new verses after Surah Al-Fatiha.
Isha Prayer: I revised what I memorized that week.
Step 7: Keep Revising So You Don’t Forget
Memorizing isn’t just about learning—it’s about not forgetting. At first, I’d forget verses after a few days, but then I found an easy way to keep everything fresh.
✅ What I Did:
- Daily: Revised yesterday’s verses before learning new ones.
- Weekly: Recited all memorized verses on Fridays.
- Monthly: Sat down and recited the entire Surah Yaseen from memory.
📅 Easy Revision Plan:
| Day | What to Revise |
|---|---|
| Monday | Recite last 3 days’ verses. |
| Wednesday | Recite from the start. |
| Friday | Recite everything you’ve memorized so far. |
Step 8: Stay Consistent (Even on Lazy Days!)
Some days, I just didn’t feel like memorizing. But I learned a trick—on days when I had no energy, I’d only revise instead of memorizing new verses.
⚡ Golden Rule:
“Even if you do just 5 minutes, it’s still progress!”
Step 9: Make Dua (Allah Will Help You!)
Every time I struggled, I made this simple dua, and somehow, the words just started sticking in my mind:
“Allahumma la sahla illa ma ja’altahu sahla, wa anta taj’alul hazna idha shi’ta sahla.”
(“O Allah, nothing is easy except what You make easy, and You can make anything easy if You wish.”)
📢 Say this dua before starting your memorization. It really helps!
Final Thoughts: You CAN Do This!
At first, memorizing Surah Yaseen felt like climbing a mountain. But when I followed this easy routine, everything became simple.
🔹 Listen first (train your ears).
🔹 Memorize in small parts (don’t rush).
🔹 Write it down (helps memory).
🔹 Understand the meaning (makes it stick).
🔹 Recite in prayer (lock it in your heart).
🔹 Revise daily (don’t let it fade).
🔹 Stay consistent (even when you’re lazy).
✨ If I could do it, you can too! Just take it one verse at a time, and before you know it, you’ll have the entire Surah Yaseen in your heart forever.
May Allah bless you in your journey! 💙
