How to use this plan

Part 1Sabaq

The new portion. Listen to it, read it with its meaning, then repeat it in short chunks until you can recite it from memory with your teacher.

Part 2Sabqi

Recent revision. Recite the new portions of your last few study days, so the newest material is fixed before it fades.

Part 3Manzil

Older revision. Recite a slice of everything you memorised before, in a cycle, so each part comes round again and again.

  • Revision grows with you. In week one you only have your new portions. From week two the recent window holds the last seven study days, and the older revision starts once material leaves that window.
  • Missed a day? Do not skip ahead. Repeat the last portion, then carry on. The planner keeps your ticks and shows what is past due.
  • Where to listen. Open any surah on our Qur’an pages or listen word by word in the Niyat app.
  • Teacher first. Recite each new portion to a qualified teacher. This plan sets the amount. It does not check your recitation.

Frequently asked questions

Why start with the shortest surahs?

Short surahs give early wins, and most Muslims already know several of them from salah. They let you practise the daily routine of new portion and revision before the longer surahs. It is a practical choice, not a rule. Some teachers begin at An-Nas and go upward, or begin at An-Naba’ in Qur’an order. The planner has all three orders.

How long does Juz ‘Amma take?

This plan has 71 study days. At 5 study days a week that is about 15 weeks, or 3 months. It is a plan of about 4 lines a day. Faster or slower is fine: change the pace in the planner and the dates move with it.

What do I do each day?

Do your new portion first (sabaq), while you are fresh. Then recite the portions of the last seven study days (sabqi). After the first week, also recite a slice of older material (manzil). Recite to your teacher as often as you can. The planner writes out all three for every date.

Is the order the same as in the planner?

Yes. This table comes from the same method as the planner with the settings Juz ‘Amma, shortest first, 4 lines a day. Press “Make it my own” to open those settings and change the pace, the days or the start date.

Why are the lines approximate?

Our Qur’an data has the page for each ayah but not the line. We estimate each ayah’s length from its word count. Your teacher may cut the portions slightly differently to suit the line breaks in your mushaf.
