I'll give you some tips:<br /><br />1) Join a halaqah -<br />Join a class where you can learn tajweed and read to the teacher and let them correct your mistakes, by doing this you will know what areas you need to work on, and knowing that you have to go to class will give you motivation to review your portion for the week. <br /><br />2) If your husband or close friends know tajweed spend some time reading together to practise with someone else. <br /><br />3) Read after fajr, so no matter how busy your day gets you have done some reading for the day<br /><br />4) Think about your children<br />Many people want their kids to be hafidh of quran and they push them in order to achieve that or at least memorize some portion of the quran but when the children see that the parents don't put time into the learning the quran they will feel like why should i. You want to be an example for you family - and if they see you serious about the quran it will rub off on them<br /><br />5) We often get so busy trying to do everything, challenge the misconceptions about islam and muslims, represent islam positivly to the society, have a career an active social life and a family but in all this we forget that are primary purpose is to be a slave, to serve Allah and part of this is having a relationship with the quran - we look like muslims, the best of muslims infact who are active and superwomen, but when it comes to the book of Allah our beloved we can't make time. <br /><br />6) read portions you are not familar read in order to work on your free reading. <br /><br />7) pray qiyaam ul layl - if you pray 8 raka with a juzz then you can revise your reading - there are opinions which say for non-fard prayer you can read from the mushaf. <br /><br />8) make dua, remember that Allah is the one who gives us ability to do anything, so if you can be magizine editor, be a mother then you can be a righteous slave - just ask him. <br /><br />9) remember the one who stuggles gets double the reward so don't lose hope, persevere and be patient. <br /><br />10) set a goal to finish a khatam in a certain amount of time and stick to it.<br /><br />All the best and I pray that Allah makes it easy for you.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
