5 Years of Hifz Left Me Struggling-Any Advice?

Assalamu alaikum, basically I spent 5 years memorizing the Quran. I was told it’s a noble gift and it wouldn’t take long. Started in 2019 and I really disliked it. My dad said he’d let me stop if I cried again. He didn’t keep his word and made me continue. Now I’m in high school, failing all my classes, barely remember my hifz, and I haven’t prayed salah in a while. Any tips on how to deal with this?

Man, I had a similar experience. What helped me was finding a friend who’s also memorizing. We push each other gently. Also, make sincere dua for love of Quran. May Allah make it easy.

Memorizing under pressure kills the love. Take a break from hifz, focus on school. Ask Allah for ease. You’re young, you can rebuild both deen and dunya in sha Allah.

I feel you. Hifz shouldn’t be forced. Start praying at least fajr, it’s short. Then slowly revise one juz. School will catch up if you put in the hours now.
