For the first time ever, we are creating a comprehensive Quran Memorization System that can be used successfully by anyone, anytime, anywhere.
SUPPORT US TODAY so we can begin recording the first FIVE CHAPTERS of the Quran and create detailed, step-by-step videos for memorization, accessible in an online course library.
The Retain System video library will allow us to bring the legacy of Quran memorization to the next generation. Our Lord has already guaranteed the preservation of Quran. We are asking you to help us be part of that tradition.
"I have been teaching Quran for two decades and I want to make it easier for everyone, everywhere. I've taught Quran around the world in different settings and I know that memorization is difficult--I personally found it very challenging. I want to provide a way for the everyday person to retain the Quran.
I have completed the first set of videos providing a step-by-step memorization system for the 30th Juz, but now I need your support to go forward and fund the continued production of these videos for the first five Ajza (chapters) of the Quran.
The Retain system is a proven, effective, and easy-to-follow methodology; it can serve as a virtual teacher sitting through every step of the memorization process. How is this possible? Through a comprehensive, online course library, creating a self-paced, virtual learning environment.
There are many digital and online options to access Quran, including recitation from great reciters, translation, tafsir, and so on. But until this time, the science of memorization has never been codified, recorded, and made available to anyone wishing to retain the Quran."
Memorizing Quran is a 1400-year old tradition, the dream and desire of hundreds and thousands. For most, the task seems daunting and unimaginable. So they ask themselves, "How can I memorize the Quran...?"
Without the solution, they resolve that retaining the Quran is impossible.
This is the most comprehensive, easy-to-follow, self-paced Quran memorization system in the world. The Retain videos serve as a virtual Quran Coach--as if a teacher is there, step-by-step, verse-by-verse, line-by-line.
This proven five-step system:
This is a proven system that has been tested with over 100 students who have used it to memorize the 30th Juz. Here is a preview of the Retain system in action. Below are video lessons for each of the five steps. These video lessons are currently in use by students who are memorizing.
SUPPORT US TODAY so we can continue building our online course library.
These are completed lessons that students from many countries are using right now and benefiting from...lessons that lead to the memorization and RETENTION of Quran. Who are these students?
"I have followed the '5 steps method' recommended by this program, which helps me to retain the content. Out of the 5 steps, I have very much enjoyed writing the surahs and recording my recitations. I always wanted Quran to be in my heart, and I never though I could memorize and retain it. This program gives me the confidence that anybody can memorize Quran."
--Sr. Anita
"The 5 step memorizing method is unique and uses an efficient way of learning, combining modern and traditional methods. The program helps the student memorize by listening/reciting and visualizing using the technique of writing. The writing element helps visualize the text as the learner makes the shapes on the page, then goes over the text several times to add the dots and lines, this method helps significantly in the memorization by visualizing the text."
--Br. Shahid
"Congratulations on devising an incredible system! I was instantly impressed with the 'HOW to KNOW Yourself' formula for retaining the Qur'an. The workout is so very aptly named--your jaw will be aching but think of the hasanaat that you have just attained through that repetition! Your writing may look a mess to begin with, but I'm sure that you'll be taking pictures of your pages and sending them to loved ones to share a huge sense of achievement. You may have hated hearing your own voice once recorded but you will begin to have an appreciation for the unique frequency that Allah has bestowed you with. This system is truly unique in that your tongue remembers the words before your brain."
--Sr. Salma
This your opportunity to join a 1400-year old tradition of memorization and launch it into the next generation of Quran retention. Whether you want to memorize, are currently memorizing, or want to support others, this is the path forward. Our Lord has guaranteed the preservation of Quran.
We have already completed and delivered the groundbreaking, state-of-the-art Retain videos for the 30th Juz. But, we cannot continue without your support.
Our next step is creating the Retain videos for the first five Ajza/chapters of the Quran. Specifically, your support of this project facilitates:
This is your opportunity to be part of this incredible project! Choose from one of the options in the right-hand column and invest in yourself and others today. The meaning of "Sadaqah Jariyah" is charity that is ongoing...imagine the reward for yourself and others for each letter of the Quran you sponsor.
Share this campaign with your family, friends, and all social networks. Whoever donates as a direct result from your share, inshaAllah you too will be rewarded as though you made the donation yourself!
Make dua for the success of this project and everyone involved.
Our team has been working together for the past three years and we have honed our skills with this goal in mind. We have already delivered the five-step process Retain videos for the 30th Juz, which students are learning from right now.
Imam Wisam has recorded each individual word of the Quran (www.recitequran.com), taught thousands of students around the world to read, recite, and retain the book of Allah, and produced dozens of videos on anything and everything Quran-related (www.youtube.com/wisamsharieff and www.youtube.com/quranrevolution). He has been teaching the science and tradition of memorization (hifdth) for more than two decades, both in person and online.
Brother Belal Khan
By day a marketing manager and multimedia producer, by night a student of martial arts, history, and human physiology.
A storyteller at heart, Brother Belal maintains an almost daily vlog documenting his projects, seeking to show what's possible and maybe inspire others to pursue their best ideas.

One More Time In The Last Ten Days
Assalaamu alaykum Dear Project Supporter,
May the blessings and bounty of the last Ten Nights of Ramadan be upon you and your family.
You are among those who supported us from the beginning of our vision. Today we are here to ask you to support us once again, to complete our work: http://www.launchgood.com/retainquran.
Since we started we have accomplished a great deal, Alhamdulillah!

Would you like to see a piece of your Jannah? [MEMORISE PORTAL IS FINALLY HERE]
Brothers and sisters, I am ecstatic to present to you our completed Memorise Portal — a Virtual Quran memorization system for every Muslim in the world!
When you clicked that green “SUPPORT” button a year or two ago, you don’t know how much goodness you set in motion.
You don’t know the 52-year-old convert sister who would be able to complete her memorization of the Quran, maybe 10 years from now…
You don’t know the 4th grade boy who finally feels like he can keep up with his classmates in Islamic school because of some step-by-step Quran videos…
You don’t know that your piece of Jannah (may Allah accept and multiply it!) would be ready today for you to look at:
With our first set of complete videos and library ready to go, we knew that you had to be the FIRST TO KNOW!
Our dear friend and supporter, this has been our dream for over a decade - to bring memorization to the Ummah in an accessible, easy-to-understand and doable system.
You believed in our vision. You supported us. And now it’s here!
WHAT YOU CAN DO:
Visit the Portal at http://Intro.Aqlu.org and create your FREE account. On that page you can find a full explanation of How It Works.
Start watching through the videos! Try your hand at memorizing a few ayaat.
Let us know what you think! Reach out to us with questions, comments, and your experience at admin@aqlu.org; We would love to hear what you like, any suggestions, and how you’ve been able to use the portal.
Share it! We want the world to know about our new portal, and you’re the first ones we’ve told. Send the link to friends and family on WhatsApp, facebook, or any other social media / communication apps you use!
Please note that while the portal is launched and ready for use, we only have our first set of videos uploaded, and many more are still yet to come!
THANK YOU for being the answer to our dua, and to the dua of so many around the world and for years to come who begged Allah to better be able to memorize His book.
You did this. You invested into your corner of Jannah.
Take a look around!
With the highest respect, and sincere dua for you and your family to connect to Allah deeply and continuously,
Wisam Sharieff and his team.
MEMORISE Virtual Portal - PREVIEW NOW
Assalaamu alaykum Friends,
I know you have waited patiently this whole year! Subhanallah, I am so happy to share with you the first preview of our MEMORISE virtual memorization portal.
My friends, you are the original supporters who believed in and supported my lifelong dream to bring memorization to anyone, anywhere in the world, who wishes to retain the Quran. My team and I have worked diligently in the past twelve months to record, edit, produce, and upload videos for the five-step Retain system, covering the First and Thirtieth Juz. Moreover, our portal developer has spent countless hours planning, designing, and building a virtual learning environment that will be easy to access, use, and search, providing a seamless experience.
As you know, these activities are not easy to execute, nor can they be done quickly. In particular, the final details of the online portal have taken longer than we anticipated--hence the delay in releasing it to you. Some of you have reached out to us to find out when you can begin using the portal and start memorizing, and Alhamdulillah this is so exciting to hear.
I am honored and amazed at what we have all created together, and I present to you the first look at the MEMORISE Virtual Portal:
http://portal.aqlu.org/sample/
Take a look around, watch the videos, and prepare yourself for the grand opening celebration in the coming weeks.
Please keep this project in your duas, particularly in these last ten nights. If you wish to be part of this year's campaign, take a look here: www.launchgood.com/memorise
Wassalaamu alaykum,
Your Brother Wisam Sharieff
Launching the Memorise Portal This Month!
Assalaamu alaykum Friends,
I know you are all eagerly awaiting the announcement of our virtual memorization portal. My team and I are just putting the finishing touches and we hope to have it available for you before this blessed month concludes, inshaAllah!
Twelve months have passed since I asked for your support in Ramadan 2018. Alhamdulillah, it is because of the tremendous response from you, and the blessing of Allah SWT, that I have been able to record detailed, step-by-step memorization videos for the 1st and 30th Juz.
As you know, I am continuing the campaign this Ramadan to keep producing videos. You have already supported us. Now, I ask you to make duaa and share our project with your friends, family, and community, so that we may continue our efforts.
Please take a look at the current campaign to see what we have already done and what is planned: www.launchgood.com/memorise. And, keep your eye on your email so you can be among the first to know when the Memorise portal launches!
I pray that your month of Ramadan is filled with blessing and bounty in your time and efforts, Ameen!
Jazakallahu khayran.

The Retain the Quran project is moving closer to our final goal of creating a virtual library for Quran memorization. Alhamdulillah we have completed recording two Juz, and these videos are now in editing and post-production. For each page we recorded, we followed our five-step Retain system of memorization.
