Most Hifz schools in South Asia, the UK and beyond use a three-part daily system: Sabaq, Sabqi and Manzil. Understanding it helps parents and students plan effectively.
1. Sabaq: The New Lesson
The new portion memorized today, from a few lines to a full page or more, depending on the student.
2. Sabqi: Recent Revision
Revision of the most recently memorized portion, for example the last 5–20 pages, or the current juz. This is where new memorization is consolidated.
3. Manzil: Long-Term Revision
Revision of all older portions in rotation, for example half a juz or more per day, so that the whole memorized portion is covered regularly.
Sample Daily Plans
| Student | Sabaq | Sabqi | Manzil |
|---|---|---|---|
| Beginner child | 5 lines | Last 1–2 pages | All earlier surahs, a few pages |
| Steady student | 1 page | Last 5–10 pages | ½ juz |
| Intensive student | 2 pages | Current juz | 1–2 juz |
Why It Works
Memory fades without review. By touching new, recent and old portions every day, students keep all three strong. Skipping Sabqi and Manzil is the most common reason students forget.
