Why take Qur’an classes if we’re not setting aside time to study?
Qur’an class progress, what’s the key to success? Have you ever stopped to think about what your Qur’an classes truly mean?
Imagine we’re having a quiet chat, a warm drink in our hands, as you read these lines. I’d love for us to reflect together on something so meaningful—and maybe, by the end, we’ll arrive at the same conclusion.
A Qur’an recitation class isn’t just a weekly appointment. It’s the result of everything you’ve done in the days leading up to it.
If you close your Book the moment the class ends and don’t open it again until the next session—or only read it occasionally without reviewing your mistakes—how can you expect to move forward?
Ask yourself this:
What can you realistically expect from your next class if there was no effort in between? What kind of progress is possible without regular practice and true commitment?
Consistent effort is what makes the difference.
We don’t always start Qur’an classes fully prepared for the consistent effort they require—but that’s something we can grow into, step by step. Studying the Book of Allah isn’t like any other subject. It requires time, patience, and consistency.
Think about the brothers and sisters who work long hours. They don’t hesitate to give six, eight, or even more hours a day to their jobs. They prepare for the next workday: Washing clothes, packing meals, setting alarms to arrive on time.
Students at university do the same. How often do you hear someone say, “I don’t have time to prepare for class/work” or “I couldn’t study at all” “I was extremely busy so I couldn’t go to work”? Rarely. And yet, Qur’an or tajweed teachers hear these words all too often.
So why wouldn’t we put even more effort into the Qur’an?
Learning tajweed may not be obligatory on its own—but reciting the Qur’an correctly, without major mistakes that alter its meaning, absolutely is. And that takes dua, daily practice, and sincere effort.
Your progress is in your hands.
After reflecting together, I think you’ll agree:
75% of the success in a Qur’an class depends on the student’s effort, and the rest on the teacher’s.
So before telling your teacher you couldn’t find the time to review your mistakes, ask yourself honestly:
Is that the attitude I want to have toward the words of Allah?
