Surah Al-Fatiha should be the first surah to memorize as it is essential for performing Salah. Its central themes of worship and seeking Allah’s guidance make it the foundation of Islamic practice.
Starting memorizing with shorter surahs like Al-Fatiha helps beginners gain confidence and familiarity with Quranic language. Gradually progressing to other chapters fosters consistency and builds a strong habit of quran memorization.
