Noor GardenMemorizing all of Juz Amma is a wonderful family goal, and it is very achievable when it is broken into weeks. This guide gives you a simple weekly rhythm, a four-phase plan and a printable-style chart of all 37 surahs in the order children usually learn them, from An-Nas back to An-Naba. It also explains how to track progress in Noor Garden using lanterns, the growing Jannah tree and the parents' corner.
Why a plan helps
Without a plan, memorization tends to happen in bursts: an enthusiastic week, then nothing for a month. A light, predictable rhythm turns it into a habit, like brushing teeth. A plan also protects review, which is the part most families forget. The aim is not to finish fast; it is to keep going steadily, with your child still loving it at the end.
The weekly rhythm
Most families find four to five short sessions a week sustainable. Here is a pattern you can adapt:
| Day | Focus | In Noor Garden |
|---|---|---|
| Day 1 | Meet the new surah or ayat | Listen with word-by-word highlight; read the big idea and meaning |
| Day 2 | Practise new ayat | "Practice each ayah" ×3, ×5 or ×7 with the echo pause |
| Day 3 | Review day | Complete spaced review of older surahs first |
| Day 4 | Strengthen | Memorize level 1 or 2, then a puzzle |
| Day 5 | Recite to someone | Recite to a parent; try the next memorize level |
| Days 6–7 | Rest and family | Listen only, or learn a hadith together |
If a week gets busy, keep just the review day. Missing new material is fine; losing what was learned is harder to fix.
The four phases of Juz Amma
The suggested weeks below assume a child aged roughly 7–11 with four or five short sessions a week. Younger children may take twice as long, and that is perfectly normal.
- Phase 1: the short surahs (An-Nas to Al-Asr): 12 surahs, 60 ayat, about 13 weeks. Quick wins that build confidence.
- Phase 2: growing (At-Takathur to Ad-Duha): 10 surahs, 97 ayat, about 15 weeks.
- Phase 3: middle surahs (Al-Layl to Al-Buruj): 8 surahs, 170 ayat, about 25 weeks.
- Phase 4: the longest (Al-Inshiqaq to An-Naba): 7 surahs, 237 ayat, about 29 weeks. Split each surah into sections of four to six ayat.
Altogether that is around 82 weeks, roughly a year and a half at a gentle pace. Some children go faster, some slower. Adjust freely.
How to track progress in Noor Garden
Lanterns and the Jannah tree
As your child practises, they collect lanterns and watch their Jannah tree grow. These are gentle rewards for effort: they show that time spent with the Quran adds up. Celebrate them with your child ("Look how your tree has grown this month!") but avoid turning them into a competition between siblings.
The parents' corner
The parents' corner shows your child's progress across surahs. Check it once a week, ideally on review day, and use it to decide what comes next: a new surah, or an extra week of review. It is also a lovely thing to look at together and talk about how far they have come.
Your progress is on your device
Noor Garden has no accounts, so progress is stored only on the device and browser your child uses. Keep using the same device and browser, and avoid clearing site data for Noor Garden. The paper chart below is a good backup and a satisfying thing to fill in by hand.

Tips to keep the plan gentle
- Review before new. Five minutes of review first, then new ayat.
- Celebrate phases, not just the finish. Finishing Phase 1 deserves a family treat or a special outing.
- Never use the chart to shame. An empty box just means "not yet".
- Link meaning and life. Pair surahs with hadith, for example Al-Ma'un with Smiling Is Charity.
- Plan what comes next. After Juz Amma, many families continue to Juz Tabarak, also on Noor Garden.
