a. Reciting in superogatory prayers- instead of reciting al-ikhlas, kawthar and al-nasr, recite from what you have memorized that day. If you have memorized a page, divide it into two and repeat it in your nafl prayers throughout the day.
b. Reciting at all times - think of all the times in your day where you are waiting for something: your at the bus stop waiting, your on the train waiting, your meeting a friend and your waiting, if you kept a quran on you all of these periods could become moments for revising.

c. Leading people in prayer - the ultimate test. This is what will show whether what you have memorized is deeply embedded in your mind, easily recalled, or whether it isn’t.

d. Listening to Quranic recitations with tajweed - use this as much as you can and have a set schedule. For example, say you have this much to memorize in a week, or this much to revise. Sometimes you will have heard a recitation so much that when you come to memorize you’ll find that you’ve already memorized it.

e. Participating in Hifz programs - being with a group is not like being alone, a little bit of competition and encouragement can go a long way in helping you reach your goal..

f. Qiyam Al-layl - a matter that is truly beneficial due to what it contains of calm, peace, focus and clarity of thought not to mention what Allah may open for you due to you worshipping him while the people are asleep.
