How authentic is the narration stating that Ibn Umar, may Allah be pleased with them both, memorized Surat Al-Baqarah in eight years? What was the reason for this long period? What is the optimal method for memorizing the Quran? Should a person continue memorizing the entire Quran, or should they alternate between it and memorizing scholarly texts? What is better when choosing between memorizing the Quran with difficulty and memorizing Sahih Al-Bukhari with ease?

Seeking knowledge is a great honor and a path to Paradise. The best thing a Muslim can start with is memorizing the Holy Quran.

Ibn 'Umar spent four years learning Surat al-Baqarah, not due to slow memorization, but to gain deep understanding and comprehension.

For the best method of memorizing the Quran, one must know their capacity and available time. Among the advice is: not to overdo memorization to avoid boredom, to join a memorization circle, to understand the verses before memorizing them, to constantly review, to use a specific copy of the Mushaf, to correct recitation with a reciter, to listen frequently, to act upon what has been memorized, to perform night prayers with it, and to supplicate often.

It is best to dedicate effort to memorizing the Quran first, then move on to other sciences, unless the student feels a decline in motivation, in which case they can balance between them.

Memorizing the Quran is easier than memorizing Hadith because it has been made easy by Allah, and memorizing the Book of Allah takes precedence over memorizing the Sunnah.
