The need for change in the instruction of the method of memorization of the Qur’an is no longer a discussion of if, but of how. Bilal Menon, the creator of Qur’an Companion, a Qur’an memorization app, justifies the need for integrating digital technology with traditional memorization methods by sharing his story of memorization of the Qur’an. By the age of eleven, Menon had memorized the entire Qur’an, but as a teenager, he forgot it completely.
