Memorising it
At the academy’s standard pace, Surah At-Tariq typically takes 2–4 supervised lessons, with revision continuing afterwards. The range is wide on purpose: it moves with the student’s age, whether they already read fluently, and how much is revised between lessons. A single figure would be a promise about a student we have not met.
Memorisation load is rated Light relative to the rest of the Quran, derived from its length rather than assigned by opinion.
