The answer

"Reviewing the Qur'an varies according to individual capabilities, and it might be most suitable to focus on memorizing just one page daily. Among the things that help solidify memorization are: reviewing and committing to it, recalling the virtue of recitation and its reward, and recognizing the seriousness of forgetting the Qur'an. It is more prone to escape than a tethered camel, and only consistent review can prevent this, as the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said: 'Attend to this Qur'an, for by the One in whose hand is Muhammad's soul, it is more prone to escape than a tethered camel.' It is also recommended to recite the Qur'an to someone proficient in it to ensure the correctness of theation, as the fundamental principle in learning the Qur'an is to receive it from a skilled shaykh."
