Memorising is the easy half.
Keeping it is the work nobody warns you about. Ummah tracks every page you have learned and brings it back before you lose it — not on a fixed rota, but on the schedule your own recall asks for.
Five states, not a checkbox
A page is not simply memorised or not. Ummah gives each of the 604 pages one of five states: no state, learning, flawed, flawless, and hifdh. The difference between "flawed" and "flawless" is the difference between a page you can get through with prompting and one you own — and they need very different amounts of revision.
You set the state yourself, after actually reciting. Nothing is inferred from how long a page was on screen, because time on a page says nothing about whether you can recite it in salah.
Spaced repetition, applied to pages
Spaced repetition is the finding that you remember something longest if you are tested on it just as you are about to forget it. Flashcard apps have used it for decades; Ummah applies it to Mushaf pages.
A page you just marked flawless comes back in a few days. Survive that and the gap widens. Stumble and it narrows again immediately. The result is that your daily revision list stays roughly the same size while the amount you are holding keeps growing — which is the only way a full hifdh is maintainable alongside a job.
A revision session, not a list
When pages are due, the reader opens in revision order and moves through them one at a time. You recite, you mark how it went, it moves on. Nothing to plan, no spreadsheet, no deciding each morning what to revise.
Questions
- How does the scheduling work?
- Spaced repetition: intervals widen when a page goes well and shrink when it does not.
- Can I memorise out of order?
- Yes. Pages are tracked individually, so starting from Juz ‘Amma works exactly as well.
- What if I fall behind?
- Due pages simply queue up. The schedule adapts; it does not punish you.
