    Ayahs 1-33

    بِسْمِ ٱللَّهِ ٱلرَّحْمَٰنِ ٱلرَّحِيمِ الٓر ۚ تِلْكَ ءَايَٰتُ ٱلْكِتَٰبِكَلِمَتُ رَبِّكَ عَلَى ٱلَّذِينَ فَسَقُوٓا۟ أَنَّهُمْ لَا يُؤْمِنُونَ

    That a man among them was inspired; the sun and moon reckoned; the parable of the rain and the harvest — and the home of peace.

    Study days 1-11

  2. 2

    Who provides for you?

    Ayahs 34-70

    قُلْ هَلْ مِن شُرَكَآئِكُم مَّن يَبْدَؤُا۟ ٱلْخَلْقَ ثُمَّمَرْجِعُهُمْ ثُمَّ نُذِيقُهُمُ ٱلْعَذَابَ ٱلشَّدِيدَ بِمَا كَانُوا۟ يَكْفُرُونَ

    This Qur'an could not have been produced by other than Allah; a healing for what is in the breasts; and: say, in the bounty of Allah — in that let them rejoice.

    Study days 12-24

  3. 3

    Nuh, Musa and the sea

    Ayahs 71-93

    وَٱتْلُ عَلَيْهِمْ نَبَأَ نُوحٍ إِذْ قَالَ لِقَوْمِهِۦ يَٰقَوْمِيَقْضِى بَيْنَهُمْ يَوْمَ ٱلْقِيَٰمَةِ فِيمَا كَانُوا۟ فِيهِ يَخْتَلِفُونَ

    The people gathered against Nuh; the magicians of Pharaoh; and the words spoken as the water closed — 'now?', when you had disobeyed before.

Common questions

How long does it take to memorise Surah Yunus mind map?
At 3 ayahs a day, its 109 ayahs take 37 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.
