It is not too late; there was an 85 year old woman who memorized the Quran. The memorization process depends on whether you understand the Arabic language or not.

If you understand Arabic, you should keep reciting a page over and over again until you have it memorized. Then you should repeat it from memory several times. Also, it is harder to retain than to memorize, so you should review the last 10 pages you memorized before beginning another. In addition, you should try to review a juz a day.

If you do not understand Arabic, you should memorize ayah by ayah, and do this in blocks of five ayahs. Start with five ayahs, memorize those, move on to the next 5, connect them with the previous 5, etc. You should then repeat it from memory several tims. And as always, you should review the previous 10 pages and a whole juz.

The key is to review everyday and remain consistent. Pick a certain amount to memorize each day (2 ayahs, 5 ayahs, half a page, etc.) and do this amount everyday. Also, have a designated time to memorize and review. After fajr, and between asr and maghrib are excellent times to do this. Try to devote 2 hours a day to revision, and 1 hour for memorization. Remember this: always use the same mushaf to memorize. Get a copy of the Quran with just the arabic, no translation, and always use that same copy. This is essential for visual memory. For example, when I recite some of the Quran I know, I can "see" the ayahs in front of me on their respective pages from memory.

It is important to have a teacher to listen to your recitation and correct your mistakes, but if this is not possible, listen to a good Qari and compare your recitation with his.

One more tip:
When reciting Quran from memory, try to close your eyes and visualize its position on the page.

Jazakum Allah for those tips - very beneficial. just wanted to ask, have you memorized the Quran (or how much have you memorized)? If so, how long did it take you?

Only 2 ajza. But, I lack consistency. When I actually memorize, alhamdulillah, I can do 1 page per hour. The method I mentioned is highly effective.

best time to memorise quran is after fajr, when the mind is fresh.
