[66] Surah At-Tahrim mind map

The lesson

The wife of Pharaoh asked for a house near Allah while living inside the palace of the man who claimed to be a god — the surah's argument is that circumstance decides nothing.

Common questions

How long does it take to memorise Surah At-Tahrim mind map?
At 3 ayahs a day, its 12 ayahs take 4 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.
