    بِسْمِ ٱللَّهِ ٱلرَّحْمَٰنِ ٱلرَّحِيمِ وَٱلنَّٰزِعَٰتِ غَرْقًۭافَإِذَا هُم بِٱلسَّاهِرَةِ

  2. 2

    Musa and Pharaoh

    Ayahs 15-26

    هَلْ أَتَىٰكَ حَدِيثُ مُوسَىٰٓإِنَّ فِى ذَٰلِكَ لَعِبْرَةًۭ لِّمَن يَخْشَىٰٓ

    Sent to a man who had transgressed, the gentle offer to purify himself, the great sign, and the lesson taken.

  3. 3

    The sky and the earth

    Ayahs 27-33

    ءَأَنتُمْ أَشَدُّ خَلْقًا أَمِ ٱلسَّمَآءُ ۚ بَنَىٰهَامَتَٰعًۭا لَّكُمْ وَلِأَنْعَٰمِكُمْ

    يَسْـَٔلُونَكَ عَنِ ٱلسَّاعَةِ أَيَّانَ مُرْسَىٰهَايَوْمَ يَرَوْنَهَا لَمْ يَلْبَثُوٓا۟ إِلَّا عَشِيَّةً أَوْ ضُحَىٰهَا

    The question refused an answer, and the closing image: on the day they see it, they will have stayed only an evening.

Common questions

How long does it take to memorise Surah An-Nazi'at mind map?
At 3 ayahs a day, its 46 ayahs take 16 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 5 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.
