[35] Surah Fatir mind map

Fatir opens on angels with wings in twos, threes and fours, and closes on the fact that nothing on the earth would be left alive if people were held to account immediately. Between them: colours, seas, and who actually fears Allah.

Common questions

How long does it take to memorise Surah Fatir mind map?
At 3 ayahs a day, its 45 ayahs take 15 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.
