Al-A'raf is named after the heights between Paradise and the Fire, where people who can see both sides stand. Around that centre it tells the fullest sequence of prophet narratives in the Qur'an, from Adam's fall to Musa's forty nights.
At this pace the whole surah takes 69 study days.
Study days are days you actually sit down to memorise — miss one and the plan simply moves with you.
بِسْمِ ٱللَّهِ ٱلرَّحْمَٰنِ ٱلرَّحِيمِ الٓمٓصٓ…قَالَ فِيهَا تَحْيَوْنَ وَفِيهَا تَمُوتُونَ وَمِنْهَا تُخْرَجُونَ
The refusal to prostrate, the respite, the whisper about the tree, the leaves of the garden, and the descent.
Study days 1-9
يَٰبَنِىٓ ءَادَمَ قَدْ أَنزَلْنَا عَلَيْكُمْ لِبَاسًۭا يُوَٰرِى سَوْءَٰتِكُمْ…يَخْرُجُ إِلَّا نَكِدًۭا ۚ كَذَٰلِكَ نُصَرِّفُ ٱلْءَايَٰتِ لِقَوْمٍۢ يَشْكُرُونَ
Take your adornment at every mosque; the exchange between the people of the Garden and of the Fire; and those on the heights who know each by their marks.
Study days 9-20
لَقَدْ أَرْسَلْنَا نُوحًا إِلَىٰ قَوْمِهِۦ فَقَالَ يَٰقَوْمِ ٱعْبُدُوا۟…وَجَدْنَا لِأَكْثَرِهِم مِّنْ عَهْدٍۢ ۖ وَإِن وَجَدْنَآ أَكْثَرَهُمْ لَفَٰسِقِينَ
Nuh, Hud, Salih and the she-camel, Lut, and Shu'ayb — and the towns whose people felt secure from the plan of Allah.
Study days 20-34
ثُمَّ بَعَثْنَا مِنۢ بَعْدِهِم مُّوسَىٰ بِـَٔايَٰتِنَآ إِلَىٰ فِرْعَوْنَ…مَآ ءَاتَيْنَٰكُم بِقُوَّةٍۢ وَٱذْكُرُوا۟ مَا فِيهِ لَعَلَّكُمْ تَتَّقُونَ
The staff before Pharaoh, the magicians who prostrated, the plagues, the sea, the calf, the forty nights, the tablets, and the people of the sabbath.
Study days 35-57
وَإِذْ أَخَذَ رَبُّكَ مِنۢ بَنِىٓ ءَادَمَ مِن ظُهُورِهِمْ…رَبِّكَ لَا يَسْتَكْبِرُونَ عَنْ عِبَادَتِهِۦ وَيُسَبِّحُونَهُۥ وَلَهُۥ يَسْجُدُونَ ۩
'Am I not your Lord?'; the man who was given Our signs and cast them off; take what is easy and turn from the ignorant; and the closing prostration.
Study days 58-69
