Memorize Surah Al-Hashr (The Exile): recite the Quran by heart

Surah Al-Hashr (الحشر, "The Exile") is a Medinan surah of 24 verses. This deck pairs each ayah's reference with the Arabic to recite and the English meaning as a note, so you can hear the wording until it sticks, then say it back from the reference.

What this deck teaches

Hifz — memorizing the Quran — is done in Arabic, by hearing and repeating the exact wording, ayah after ayah. That is precisely what speaking and listening are for. Surah Al-Hashr is a Medinan surah of 24 verses; each card carries one ayah so you can work through it in order.

Each card puts the reference on one side and the Arabic verse on the other, recited aloud by the app; the Yusuf Ali English translation rides along as a note so you understand what you are reciting without it interrupting the Arabic. Because Arabic and English live in separate fields, the Arabic is read cleanly.

Work a few ayat a day rather than racing the whole surah. It suits daily revision, a memorization goal, or keeping a surah close. Arabic text is provided by the Tanzil Project (CC BY 3.0); the English translation is Abdullah Yusuf Ali's (public domain).

How to memorize Surah Al-Hashr with VoiceCards

  1. Hear the Arabic on a loop. Open the deck in Listen mode and let it play the reference, then the Arabic ayah, on a loop. Hearing Surah Al-Hashr hands-free while you commute or do chores builds the cadence before you try to recite it.
  2. Recite from the reference. Switch to Speak mode. See only the reference, recite the Arabic ayah from memory, then reveal the card to check every word. The English note is there when you want the meaning.
  3. Work a few ayat at a time. Do a handful of verses per day rather than the whole surah at once. Short, daily, out-loud sets beat one long silent session.
  4. Loop the ones that slip. Star the ayat that come out shaky and give them an extra Listen loop the next morning. An ayah you can recite cleanly from the reference three days running is one you own.

Al-Hashr 59:1
سَبَّحَ لِلَّهِ مَا فِي ٱلسَّمَٰوَٰتِ وَمَا فِي ٱلۡأَرۡضِۖ وَهُوَ ٱلۡعَزِيزُ ٱلۡحَكِيمُ Whatever is in the heavens and on earth, let it declare the Praises and Glory of Allah: for He is the Exalted in Might, the Wise
Al-Hashr 59:2
هُوَ ٱلَّذِيٓ أَخۡرَجَ ٱلَّذِينَ كَفَرُواْ مِنۡ أَهۡلِ ٱلۡكِتَٰبِ مِن دِيَٰرِهِمۡ لِأَوَّلِ ٱلۡحَشۡرِۚ مَا ظَنَنتُمۡ أَن يَخۡرُجُواْۖ وَظَنُّوٓاْ أَنَّهُم مَّانِعَتُهُمۡ حُصُونُهُم مِّنَ ٱللَّهِ فَأَتَىٰهُمُ ٱللَّهُ مِنۡ حَيۡثُ لَمۡ يَحۡتَسِبُواْۖ وَقَذَفَ فِي قُلُوبِهِمُ ٱلرُّعۡبَۚ يُخۡرِبُونَ بُيُوتَهُم بِأَيۡدِيهِمۡ وَأَيۡدِي ٱلۡمُؤۡمِنِينَ فَٱعۡتَبِرُواْ يَٰٓأُوْلِي ٱلۡأَبۡصَٰرِ It is He Who got out the Unbelievers among the People of the Book from their homes at the first gathering (of the forces). Little did ye think that they would get out: And they thought that their fortresses would defend them from Allah! But the (Wrath of) Allah came to them from quarters from which they little expected (it), and cast terror into their hearts, so that they destroyed their dwellings by their own hands and the hands of the Believers, take warning, then, O ye with eyes (to see)
Al-Hashr 59:3
وَلَوۡلَآ أَن كَتَبَ ٱللَّهُ عَلَيۡهِمُ ٱلۡجَلَآءَ لَعَذَّبَهُمۡ فِي ٱلدُّنۡيَاۖ وَلَهُمۡ فِي ٱلۡأٓخِرَةِ عَذَابُ ٱلنَّارِ And had it not been that Allah had decreed banishment for them, He would certainly have punished them in this world: And in the Hereafter they shall (certainly) have the Punishment of the Fire
Al-Hashr 59:4
ذَٰلِكَ بِأَنَّهُمۡ شَآقُّواْ ٱللَّهَ وَرَسُولَهُۥۖ وَمَن يُشَآقِّ ٱللَّهَ فَإِنَّ ٱللَّهَ شَدِيدُ ٱلۡعِقَابِ That is because they resisted Allah and His Messenger: and if any one resists Allah, verily Allah is severe in Punishment
