The map

  1. 1

    Two kinds of striving

    بِسْمِ ٱللَّهِ ٱلرَّحْمَٰنِ ٱلرَّحِيمِ وَٱلَّيْلِ إِذَا يَغْشَىٰوَمَا يُغْنِى عَنْهُ مَالُهُۥٓ إِذَا تَرَدَّىٰٓ

    By the night, the day and what created male and female — the giver eased to ease, the withholder to hardship.

  2. 2

    A blazing fire, and the most righteous

    Ayahs 12-21

    إِنَّ عَلَيْنَا لَلْهُدَىٰوَلَسَوْفَ يَرْضَىٰ

    Guidance is upon Us; the fire only the most wretched enters, and the one who gives his wealth to purify himself.

The lesson

Both men are 'made easy' — the surah's point is that habit runs in whichever direction you start it, which is why the first act matters more than it looks.

Common questions

How long does it take to memorise Surah Al-Layl mind map?
At 3 ayahs a day, its 21 ayahs take 7 study days. Change the pace above and every date on this page updates.
Do I have to memorise it in order?
Most teachers keep the surah's own order, because the 2 blocks below follow one another for a reason. The map matters more than the sequence: knowing which block you are inside is what stops the similar passages blurring together.
Do I need a teacher for this?
You can memorise from a map alone, but almost nobody corrects their own recitation. A teacher hears the mistakes you cannot, and holds you to the schedule you just set.

A plan is easier to keep when someone is holding you to it

Book a first lesson with a Quran teacher and bring this schedule with you. Many of our teachers offer that first lesson free.
