Dhor · daily revision

You did not lose it. You just stopped reciting it to anyone.

Every hafiz needs someone to recite to. Most adults do not have one. I am that person — thirty minutes a day, in English or Urdu, with the mushaf open.

Free hifz health check What a session is

You memorised it as a boy. Someone listened to you every day, and because someone listened, it stayed.

Then school ended, or you moved, or you started working — and the listening stopped. Not the intention. Just the listening. Juz thirty is still there. Baqarah is mostly there. Somewhere in the middle it has gone quiet, and you have not looked directly at how quiet because there has never been a good moment to find out.

That is not weakness and it is not a failure of taqwa. Hifz is not a thing you have; it is a thing you keep doing. It decays without a listener the way a language decays without anyone to speak it to. The men who kept theirs are not more sincere than you. They had someone sitting across from them.

Whatever you hold, keep it alive. However much that is.
Who you would be reciting to

You are not being taught. You are being heard.

My name is Qazi Emaduddin. I studied in a madrasah, I read and follow Arabic closely, and when I could not find software that recorded a recitation the way it actually happens, I built it — the app the rest of this site is about.

I am still a student of the Quran myself. I have not completed hifz, and I am not going to sit above you and correct you. That is not modesty — it is the job description. Dhor was never about being taught. It is about being heard, and the men who kept their hifz kept it because somebody was on the other side of the mushaf every day, paying attention.

That is the work I do, and I do it carefully. I follow every word without drifting. I catch the word you softened and the ayah you slid past, and I mark it where it happened rather than telling you it was a good session. I keep the record, so that in six months there is something to look at instead of an impression. And I am there tomorrow, and the day after, at the same minute.

Some of the teachers using my software are far more qualified than I am — and if what you want is tajweed instruction or an ijazah, you want a qari, and I will tell you so. What I offer is a different thing, and for dhor the more useful one: attention that does not lapse, and a memory that does not either.

I listen in English or Urdu, to adult men — huffaz maintaining what they hold, and part-huffaz rebuilding what has slipped.

The session

Thirty minutes, five days a week

A video call. No app for you to install, no homework, nothing to fill in. You open the Quran and recite.

١
You recite
Roughly half a juz, or whatever you set. You decide the portion and the order — it is your dhor, not my curriculum.
٢
I follow and mark
Mushaf open. Every hesitation, wrong word, skipped phrase and slip of tajweed marked on the word it happened on — and how much help you needed to recover.
٣
You get the pages
Afterwards, the marked pages. Not a summary. The actual mushaf, with your mistakes where you made them.
A pause you recovered from on your own is not the same mistake as an ayah you had to be told. I record the difference every time, because that difference is what tells you whether a page is actually secure or only nearly.
The part nobody else gives you

Six months in, I can tell you which juz has been slipping since March

One session tells you little. A term of them tells you everything — which pages are holding, which words keep coming back months apart, and whether the ground you are regaining is staying regained.

The Tehfīz feedback logger mid-session: a page of the mushaf with three words marked in different colours, beside a panel naming each mistake and how much help was needed to recover from it.

An actual session. The six-month picture is built out of these, one day at a time.

What keeps coming back
The words you missed in three separate sessions months apart — not three in a row. That is the list actually worth drilling.
Climbing or slipping
Each portion carries its own run of recent scores, marked climbing, steady or declining — so you see a juz going before you notice it has gone.
Yours, and only yours
The report is built on your own device and mine. Your name is not stored on any server — there is no field for it. Ever.
Ramadan begins 8 February 2027 If you are leading this year

Thirty juz, heard, before Ramadan

Standing in front of a jamaat is not the place to discover which pages are thin. From October, five sessions a week, half a juz at a time, gets you through the whole Quran with time to spare — and more usefully, gets you a written list of exactly which pages are still weak, while there is still room to do something about it.

Start in October and it is comfortable. Start in December and it is a sprint. There is no version that starts in January.

When

After fajr, if that suits you

These are the slots I keep, shown in your own time — not mine. All of them fall inside my working day, which means you get someone alert rather than someone finishing a night shift.

Where you areUsual slotNote

Fajr moves through the year, and so does the slot — we shift it together rather than you holding a fixed clock time that stops making sense in June.

Cost

£6 an hour, while I am starting out

Billed monthly, for five 30-minute sessions a week. No joining fee, no contract, no notice period — tell me you are stopping and you stop.

This is a founding rate: half price while I am starting out. In exchange I will ask you, once we have been going a while, to write a few honest sentences about whether it worked — including if it did not. Once I have a few of those, it goes to the standard rate.
Before you ask

The questions I would ask

Are you a hafiz?
No. I studied in a madrasah and I am still a student of the Quran myself — I have not completed hifz, and I would rather you heard that from me than found it out later. It matters less than you would expect, because dhor is not instruction: you know the Quran better than I do, and my job is to hear it accurately, mark what slipped, and keep the record. For tajweed teaching or an ijazah, you want a qari.
I have forgotten most of it. Is that embarrassing?
No, and it is the most common place people start from. You are also not telling anyone in your own masjid — which for most men is quietly the point. I have no opinion about how much you have kept. I only need to know where to open the mushaf.
Can I do fewer than five days a week?
You can, and I will bill accordingly. But I would rather you did three days honestly than promised five and stopped in week four. Dhor works because it is boring and daily. Pick a number you will still be doing in March.
What if I miss a session?
Tell me and it is credited, not lost — we find another slot that week. If I miss one, same thing. Karachi has power cuts and I have a backup connection, but I would rather say that plainly than pretend it never happens.
Do you correct tajweed as well as memory?
I mark it — makhraj, madd, ghunnah, qalqalah — so it is in the record and you can see what recurs. But for tajweed instruction you want a qari with an ijazah, and I will say so rather than guess. Marking is not teaching, and I am careful about the difference.
How do I pay from the UK or Australia?
Bank transfer through Wise, in your own currency, monthly. No card details held anywhere.
Where to start

Find out what you have actually kept

Thirty minutes, free, no commitment afterwards. You recite pages picked at random from across whatever you hold. I mark everything. Then I send you the report and you decide what to do with it — including nothing.

Most men have a rough idea of where they stand and it is usually wrong in both directions — worse in the middle juz than they feared, better in places they had written off. It is worth thirty minutes to stop guessing.
