Revision, also known as Sabaq Para, is a very important part of a student’s daily work. It is essentially what keeps the recent Sabaq memorized in one’s head. Without doing Sabaq Para a student will end up forgetting the Quraan and all the effort gone into memorizing it can go to waste. It is very important for a student to learn the right way to be able to fully keep the Quraan in memory. The common method of learning Sabaq Para is the ruku-by-ruku method. For student using 13-line Quraan, a ruku starts from an ﻉ that is at the side of the page and ends at the next one. A ruku may also start from the beginning of a Surah. For students with 15-line Quraans who do not have rukus, they may just do page by page and use the same method as ruku by ruku.

   

Usually, Sabaq Para is done Half of a Juz at a time. The Half starts from around half a juz before the Sabaq. It usually amounts to about 13-16 pages in 13-line Quraan and 9-11 pages in 15-line Quraan.

Step 1: Open the half you have and figure out exactly where one ruku ends. In case you have 15-line Quraan, find out where 1-page ends.

Step 2: Do Naazirah of the entire ruku 3 times from start to finish, make sure to be reading loudly, clearly and as fluently as possible. Make sure to have particular care and focus especially on mistakes that are marked.

Step 3: Read each marked mistake 5 times to ensure the mistake is never repeated.

Step 4: Read a few words before and few words after together with the mistake another 5 times to further ensure the mistake never comes up again.

Step 5: Repeat this process for all mistakes until full ruku is done. Then read the entire ruku without looking 3 times until there are no stucks or mistakes.

Step 6: Repeat this process for the next ruku.

Step 7: Read the first ruku and second ruku looking inside once and then once again without looking. If mistakes or stucks occur, repeat both rukus until fluent.

Step 8: Learn the third ruku following steps 2-5. Then Read all 3 rukus looking inside once and then once again without looking. If mistakes or stucks occur, repeat all rukus until fluent.

Step 9: Continue this process until the full half is learnt.

Note: Depending on how strong or weak the half is, this process may be changed to ½ pg. by ½ pg. if weak or 2-3 pages at a time if stronger
