    His hands, and his wealth

    Ayahs 1-3

    بِسْمِ ٱللَّهِ ٱلرَّحْمَٰنِ ٱلرَّحِيمِ تَبَّتْ يَدَآ أَبِى لَهَبٍۢ…سَيَصْلَىٰ نَارًۭا ذَاتَ لَهَبٍۢ

    Ruined are the hands of Abu Lahab; his wealth and what he earned availed him nothing — he will burn in a flaming fire.

  2. 2

    And his wife

    Ayahs 4-5

    وَٱمْرَأَتُهُۥ حَمَّالَةَ ٱلْحَطَبِ…فِى جِيدِهَا حَبْلٌۭ مِّن مَّسَدٍۭ

Common questions

How long does it take to memorise Surah Al-Masad mind map?
At 3 ayahs a day, its 5 ayahs take 2 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.
