Assalamu Alaikum warah wb brothers and sisters,
Many of us would like to become a hafiz. Alhamdulillah Allah (SWT) has blessed us by giving such an intention. So I started collecting information about "how to become a hafiz?". And I would like to share with you all. InshahAllah it would help you.
What is important to become a hafiz is not good memory but DESIRE. If you have the desire to become a hafiz, InshahAllah you will, no matter how busy you are or how old you are. Actually you need to have an obsession. If you have certain degree of dedication and determination InshahAllah you will become a Hafiz. You have Bad Memory? That's not a problem. You can still become a Hafiz InshahAllah. A Teacher, Qari Rafaqat said that he had such horrible memory that he used to memorize half an ayah every day. But slowly, he progressed to doing quarter juz every day. THAT'S ONE JUZ IN FOUR DAYS. There is also a person who became a hafiz in his 40's.
Exteamly important thing is to have correct intention. So what is the correct intention that one should have? It should and should only be to attain the blessing of Allah (SWT). Being a Hafiz is a very special thing; it's the membership into a special group of servants of Allah(SWT). To join that group, that in it of itself is a huge blessing. Parents sometimes make their kids go to Hifz school so that they can show off to others that my kid is a Hafiz. This is a wrong intention. Not only will you not get rewarded if you don't have the right intention but becoming a Hafiz will be harder for you. So it is very important to be equipped with the desire and to have right intention.
The Messenger of Allaah (sas) said: "The best amongst you is the one who learns the Qur'aan and teaches it."

Assalamualikum
I want to be a Hafiz but my dad says it's too late for me to go. I'm 16 years Old and I don't want to go to college now because being a Hafiz is better and it will help me in the Hereafter. A degree will be nothing in the Hereafter whereas memorizing the Holy Qur'an will be of great reward. If only my dad understood this. I don't mind going to college but I'd much rather prefer going to Madrashah. I want to keep him happy so I guess I have to go to college.
