Example:
Gus Miftah: Assalamu’alaikum, Fatimah. Excuse me, may I talk to you for a moment?
Fatimah: Wa’alaikumussalam, Gus Miftah. Sure, what would you like to talk about?
Gus Miftah: Thank you. I wanted to ask you something about memorizing the Al-Qur’an Kareem.
Fatimah: Oh, that’s a good topic. What do you want to know?
Gus Miftah: I heard that you have memorized many surahs. How did you start memorizing the Qur’an?
Fatimah: Well, I started little by little. I usually memorize after Fajr prayer when my mind is fresh.
Gus Miftah: That sounds helpful. Do you have any tips for beginners like me?
Fatimah: Yes. First, make a clear intention for Allah. Then, read the verses repeatedly before memorizing them.
Gus Miftah: I see. How do you keep your memorization strong?
Fatimah: I revise my memorization every day and listen to Qur’an recitations.
Gus Miftah: Thank you for sharing your experience. It really motivates me to memorize Al-Qur’an.
Fatimah: You’re welcome, Gus Miftah. May Allah make it easy for you.Gus Miftah:Ameen. Thank you for your time
