Benefits of Listening to Recitation before Memorising:
§ It is a form of worship
§ Helps in recognising how to correctly pronounce the words
§ Strengthens the verses in memory
§ Enhances the tajweed
§ Advances the understanding of al-Waqf and al-Ibtidaa* in Quran
§ Keeps your hearing busy with the Speech of Allah
*Al-Waqf is where we stop during the recitation and Al-Ibtidaa is where we start from. It cannot be done randomly and has varying grades.
Benefits of Memorisation:
§ Presence of heart during the recitation
§ Stronger focus on the verses rather than their sounds
§ Sharpens the memory
§ Enhances the language and fluency in Arabic
