Likewise, correcting ones re citation firstly and not depending on oneself in its recitation even if one is k nowledgeable of the Arabic language and of its principles, is also obligatory. T his is because in the Quran there are many verses which occur in a way that is o pposed to what is well known in the rules of the Arabic language. It is necessary for the one desiring to memorise the Quran that he sets himself a daily limit for memorising. So he begins, after he has corrected his recitation and set his daily limit, to learn by freq uent repetition. It is also necessary that this repetition is done melodiously a nd this is so that a person follows the Sunnah firstly and that it the memorisat ion is made firm and strong secondly.
Melodious recitation is pleasing to ones h earing and also assists in memorisation.
The reciter will know therefore, that his tongue will not comply with him when he makes a mistake and that if the tone is wrong o r out of tune, his memorisation will return to him. All of this is because reciting the Quran and beautifying it with ones voice is a matter which has been commanded. Not Surpassing One's Daily Limit until You Have Perfected its Memorisation. It is not permissible for the memoriser to move to a new portion of the Quran un til after he has perfected the memorisation of his previous limit. This is so th at whatever he has memorised is firmly established in his mind.
