What are the best ways to seek Islamic knowledge and complete the memorization of the Noble Qur'an, while reconciling this with intensive university studies in the field of medicine?

1 min readAlso available in العربية

Combining memorizing the Qur’an, seeking religious knowledge, and excelling in medical studies requires strong determination and a balanced plan to utilize time and effort. The details vary depending on one's capabilities and circumstances. This can be achieved through patience, perseverance, diligent follow-up, and hard work, and above all, with the help of Allah Almighty. Therefore, one must begin with sincere reliance on Allah, seeking His assistance, persistent supplication, and fulfilling His taqwa (piety). Then, allocate appropriate time and effort for each objective, starting with what is possible and gradually increasing. We advise a beginner to memorize five verses daily while perfecting them, and to begin seeking knowledge by studying the interpretation of the Qur’an, utilizing the book "What a Muslim Cannot Afford to Be Ignorant Of," and seeking righteous companionship.
