    بِسْمِ ٱللَّهِ ٱلرَّحْمَٰنِ ٱلرَّحِيمِ حمٓفَٱنتَقَمْنَا مِنْهُمْ ۖ فَٱنظُرْ كَيْفَ كَانَ عَٰقِبَةُ ٱلْمُكَذِّبِينَ

    An Arabic Qur'an; the ships and cattle He made subject to you; the daughters they assigned to Him; and every warner met with the same sentence.

  2. 2

    Ibrahim's word left behind

    Ayahs 26-45

    وَإِذْ قَالَ إِبْرَٰهِيمُ لِأَبِيهِ وَقَوْمِهِۦٓ إِنَّنِى بَرَآءٌۭ مِّمَّامِن رُّسُلِنَآ أَجَعَلْنَا مِن دُونِ ٱلرَّحْمَٰنِ ءَالِهَةًۭ يُعْبَدُونَ

    A lasting word among his descendants; the demand for a great man of the two cities; and the roofs of silver He would have given the disbelievers.

  3. 3

    Musa and Pharaoh again

    Ayahs 46-65

    وَلَقَدْ أَرْسَلْنَا مُوسَىٰ بِـَٔايَٰتِنَآ إِلَىٰ فِرْعَوْنَ وَمَلَإِي۟هِۦ فَقَالَبَيْنِهِمْ ۖ فَوَيْلٌۭ لِّلَّذِينَ ظَلَمُوا۟ مِنْ عَذَابِ يَوْمٍ أَلِيمٍ

    The bracelets of gold demanded as proof; the ridicule of 'Isa as an example; and: this is a straight path, so follow me.

    Study days 16-22

  4. 4

    Friends on that Day

    Ayahs 66-89

    هَلْ يَنظُرُونَ إِلَّا ٱلسَّاعَةَ أَن تَأْتِيَهُم بَغْتَةًۭ وَهُمْفَٱصْفَحْ عَنْهُمْ وَقُلْ سَلَٰمٌۭ ۚ فَسَوْفَ يَعْلَمُونَ

    Close friends become enemies except the God-fearing; the call to Malik; and the closing: turn away from them and say 'peace'.

Common questions

How long does it take to memorise Surah Az-Zukhruf mind map?
At 3 ayahs a day, its 89 ayahs take 30 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 4 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.
