Maintaining good deeds, relationships, manners, and speech acts as a secret weapon for students to easily memorize the Quran, allowing them to complete the process quickly without sacrificing daily activities. This was shared by recipients of the best Hafiz and Hafizah awards at the Yayasan Islam Kelantan (YIK) Tahfiz Graduation Ceremony. Muhammad Iqbal Danial Nasir, 19, from Gua Musang, acknowledged that maintaining good practices simplifies everything. He strives to avoid even minor sins, which he believes is key to easier memorization, alongside mindful eating habits and avoiding fast food.

"What I've realized is that reciting selawat (praises to the Prophet) a lot has greatly helped the memorization process because everything becomes easy when I increase my selawat," he said. Iqbal, who aspires to be a religious teacher, dedicates his mornings to memorization before the Subuh prayer and practices reciting to his teacher. He views the Quran as the primary guide for life and for strengthening relationships with family, teachers, and friends.

Nur Fatin Hanani Hafizi, 18, a student at Maahad Tahfiz Sains Tanah Merah, expressed gratitude for completing the 30 juzuk (chapters) of the Quran in three years. She maintained a normal teenage life while dedicating class time to memorization. "In class, I don't chat idly; instead, I give full attention to memorization. If there are two hours in class, I spend those two hours memorizing. If I want to chat with friends, I choose another place, not in class," she stated. Both graduates highlighted the importance of parental and teacher blessings in their success.
