New to the Qur'an? Start with The Qur'an: What It Is, How It Came Down, and How It Was Kept, then read Muhammad ﷺ: A Life. All articles: Deen: Start Here.

Three tools for living with the Qur'an. See how six great commentators read the same passage, keep the rules of recitation to hand, and track the sūrahs you are memorising. Your hifẓ progress is saved on your own device.
Six commentaries, six methods, from al-Ṭabarī's reports from the early generations to al-Saʿdī's plain reading. The cards summarise each scholar's approach to the passage; they are not translations of his words.
For anything you would rely on, read the full tafsīr. Ibn Kathīr's is on quran.com in English; altafsir.com has the Arabic of all six.
Tajwīd is reciting each letter from its place, with its qualities, and changing sounds where letters meet, as the Qur'an was taught. This is a written reference: learn the sounds by listening and reciting to a teacher. Qur'an “Recite the Qur'an in a measured way” 73:4.
Where the letters come from (makhārij)
Mark each sūrah as not started, learning or memorised, and log when you last revised it. Anything memorised and not revised for two weeks is flagged. Sunna “Keep revising the Qur'an, for it escapes faster than camels from their hobbles” .
