Hifz Tip: Stop memorizing against the clock

Assalamu alaikum! One habit that quietly harms your memorization is chasing time limits instead of actual learning goals. "I'll wrap up this page in an hour." "I only have 30 minutes, gotta rush through these verses." Here's the issue: when the clock is in charge, your repetitions often get tossed aside. You zoom through the page just to tick a box, but days later, it's all fuzzy. Instead of asking, "How much can I cram in one hour?", try asking, "How many repetitions do I need till this sinks in firmly?" Some days you'll memorize half a page. Other days, maybe a handful of lines. No worries at all. Your aim isn't to blaze through today's page. It's to still recall it next month, or even better, keep it in your heart for good. Focus on quality first-always.
