100 Most Often Misspelled Words in English

A
* acceptable - Several words made the list because of the suffix pronounced -êbl but sometimes spelled -ible, sometimes -able. Just remember to accept any table offered to you and you will spell this word OK.
* accidentally - It is no accident that the test for adverbs on -ly is whether they come from an adjective on -al ("accidental" in this case). If so, the -al has to be in the spelling. No publical, then publicly.
* accommodate - Remember, this word is large enough to accommodate both a double "c" AND a double "m".
* acquire - Try to acquire the knowledge that this word and the next began with the prefix ad- but the [d] converts to [c] before [q].
* acquit - See the previous discussion.
* a lot - Two words! Hopefully, you won't have to allot a lot of time to this problem.
* amateur - Amateurs need not be mature: this word ends on the French suffix -eur (the equivalent of English -er).
* apparent - A parent need not be apparent but "apparent" must pay the rent, so remember this word always has the rent.
* argument - Let's not argue about the loss of this verb's silent [e] before the suffix -ment.
* atheist - Lord help you remember that this word comprises the prefix a- "not" + the "god" (also in the-ology) + -ist "one who believes."

B
* believe - You must believe that [i] usually comes before [e] except after [c] or when it is pronounced like "a" as "neighbor" and "weigh" or "e" as in "their" and "heir." Also take a look at "foreign" below. (The "i-before-e" rule has more exceptions than words it applies to.)
* bellwether - Often misspelled "bellweather." A wether is a gelded ram, chosen to lead the herd (thus his bell) due to the greater likelihood that he will remain at all times ahead of the ewes.

C
* calendar - This word has an [e] between two [a]s. The last vowel is [a].
* category - This word is not in a category with "catastrophe" even if it sounds like it: the middle letter is [e].
* cemetery - Don't let this one bury you: it ends on -ery—nary an -ary in it. You already know it starts on [c], of course.
* changeable - The verb "change" keeps its [e] here to indicate that the [g] is soft, not hard. (That is also why "judgement" is the correct spelling of this word, no matter what anyone says.)
* collectible - Another -ible word. You just have to remember.
* column - Silent final [e] is commonplace in English but a silent final [n] is not uncommon, especially after [m].
* committed - If you are committed to correct spelling, you will remember that this word doubles its final [t] from "commit" to "committed."
* conscience - Don't let misspelling this word weigh on your conscience: [ch] spelled "sc" is unusual but legitimate.
* conscientious - Work on your spelling conscientiously and remember this word with [ch] spelled two different ways: "sc" and "ti". English spelling!
* conscious - Try to be conscious of the "sc" [ch] sound and all the vowels in this word's ending and i-o-u a note of congratulations.
* consensus - The census does not require a consensus, since they are not related.

D
* daiquiri - Don't make yourself another daiquiri until you learn how to spell this funny word-the name of a Cuban village.
* definite (ly) - This word definitely sounds as though it ends only on -it, but it carries a silent "e" everywhere it goes.
* discipline - A little discipline, spelled with the [s] and the [c] will get you to the correct spelling of this one.
* drunkenness - You would be surprised how many sober people omit one of the [n]s in this one.
* dumbbell - Even smart people forget one of the [b]s in this one. (So be careful who you call one when you write.)

E
* embarrass (ment) - This one won't embarrass you if you remember it is large enough for a double [r] AND a double [s].
* equipment - This word is misspelled "equiptment" 22,932 times on the web right now.
* exhilarate - Remembering that [h] when you spell this word will lift your spirits and if you remember both [a]s, it will be exhilarating!
* exceed 0 Remember that this one is -ceed, not -cede. (To exceed all expectations, master the spellings of this word, "precede" and "supersede" below.)
* existence - No word like this one spelled with an [a] is in existence. This word is a menage a quatre of one [i] with three [e]s.
* experience - Don't experience the same problem many have with "existence" above in this word: -ence!

F
* fiery - The silent "e" on "fire" is also cowardly: it retreats inside the word rather than face the suffix -y.
* foreign - Here is one of several words that violate the i-before-e rule. (See "believe" above.)

G
* gauge - You must learn to gauge the positioning of the [a] and [u] in this word. Remember, they are in alphabetical order (though not the [e]).
* grateful - You should be grateful to know that keeping "great" out of "grateful" is great.
* guarantee - I guarantee you that this word is not spelled like "warranty" even though they are synonyms.

H
* harass - This word is too small for two double letters but don't let it harass you, just keep the [r]s down to one.
* height - English reaches the height (not heighth!) of absurdity when it spells "height" and "width" so differently.
* hierarchy - The i-before-e rule works here, so what is the problem?
* humorous - Humor us and spell this word "humorous": the [r] is so weak, it needs an [o] on both sides to hold it up.

I
* ignorance - Don't show your ignorance by spelling this word -ence!
* immediate - The immediate thing to remember is that this word has a prefix, in- "not" which becomes [m] before [m] (or [b] or [p]). "Not mediate" means direct which is why "immediately" means "directly."
* independent - Please be independent but not in your spelling of this word. It ends on -ent.
* indispensable - Knowing that this word ends on -able is indispensable to good writing.
* inoculate - This one sounds like a shot in the eye. One [n] the eye is enough.
* intelligence - Using two [l]s in this word and ending it on -ence rather than -ance are marks of . . . you guessed it.
* its/it's - The apostrophe marks a contraction of "it is." Something that belongs to it is "its."

J
* jewelry - Sure, sure, it is made by a jeweler but the last [e] in this case flees the scene like a jewel thief. However, if you prefer British spelling, remember to double the [l]: "jeweller," "jewellery." (See also pronunciation.)
* judgment - Traditionally, the word has been spelled judgment in all forms of the English language. However, the spelling judgement (with e added) largely replaced judgment in the United Kingdom in a non-legal context. In the context of the law, however, judgment is preferred. This spelling change contrasts with other similar spelling changes made in American English, which were rejected in the UK. In the US at least, judgment is still preferred and judgement is considered incorrect by many American style guides.

K
* kernel (colonel) - There is more than a kernel of truth in the claim that all the vowels in this word are [e]s. So why is the military rank (colonel) pronounced identically? English spelling can be chaotic.

L
* leisure - Yet another violator of the i-before-e rule. You can be sure of the spelling of the last syllable but not of the pronunciation.
* liaison - Another French word throwing us an orthographical curve: a spare [i], just in case. That's an [s], too, that sounds like a [z].
* library - It may be as enjoyable as a berry patch but that isn't the way it is spelled. That first [r] should be pronounced, too.
* license - Where does English get the license to use both its letters for the sound [s] in one word?
* lightning - Learning how to omit the [e] in this word should lighten the load of English orthography a little bit.

M
* maintenance - The main tenants of this word are "main" and "tenance" even though it comes from the verb "maintain." English orthography at its most spiteful.
* maneuver - Man, the price you pay for borrowing from French is high. This one goes back to French main + oeuvre "hand-work," a spelling better retained in the British spelling, "manoeuvre."
* medieval - The medieval orthography of English even lays traps for you: everything about the MIDdle Ages is MEDieval or, as the British would write, mediaeval.
* memento - Why would something to remind of you of a moment be spelled "memento?" Well, it is.
* millennium - Here is another big word, large enough to hold two double consonants, double [l] and double [n].
* miniature - Since that [a] is seldom pronounced, it is seldom included in the spelling. This one is a "mini ature;" remember that.
* minuscule - Since something minuscule is smaller than a miniature, shouldn't they be spelled similarly? Less than cool, or "minus cule."
* mischievous - This mischievous word holds two traps: [i] before [e] and [o] before [u]. Four of the five vowels in English reside here.
* misspell - What is more embarrassing than to misspell the name of the problem? Just remember that it is mis + spell and that will spell you the worry about spelling "spell."

N
* neighbor - The word "neighbor" breaks the i-before-e rule and invokes the silent "gh". This is fraught with error potential. If you use British spelling, it will cost you another [u]: "neighbour."
* noticeable - The [e] is noticeably retained in this word to indicate the [c] is "soft," pronounced like [s]. Without the [e], it would be pronounced "hard," like [k], as in "applicable."

O
* occasionally - Writers occasionally tire of doubling so many consonants and omit one, usually one of the [l]s. Don't you ever do it.
* occurrence - Remember not only the occurrence of double double consonants in this word, but that the suffix is -ence, not -ance. No reason, just the English language keeping us on our toes.

P
* pastime - Since a pastime is something you do to pass the time, you would expect a double [s] here. Well, there is only one. The second [s] was slipped through the cracks in English orthography long ago.
* perseverance - All it takes is perseverance and you, too, can be a (near-)perfect speller. The suffix is -ance for no reason at all.
* personnel - Funny Story: The assistant Vice-President of Personnel notices that his superior, the VP himself, upon arriving at his desk in the morning opens a small, locked box, smiles, and locks it back again. Some years later when he advanced to that position (inheriting the key), he came to work early one morning to be assured of privacy. Expectantly, he opened the box. In it was a single piece of paper which said: "Two Ns, one L."
* playwright - Those who play right are right-players, not playwrights. Well, since they write plays, they should be "play-writes," wright right? Rong Wrong. Remember that a play writer in Old English was called a "play worker" and "wright" is from an old form of "work" (wrought iron, etc.)
* possession - Possession possesses more [s]s than a snake.
* precede - What follows, succeeds, so what goes before should, what? No, no, no, you are using logic. Nothing confuses English spelling more than common sense. "Succeed" but "precede." (Wait until you see "supersede.")
* principal/principle - The spelling principle to remember here is that the school principal is a prince and a pal (despite appearances)--and the same applies to anything of foremost importance, such as a principal principle. A "principle" is a rule. (Thank you, Meghan Cope, for help on this one.)
* privilege - According to the pronunciation (not "pronounciation"!) of this word, that middle vowel could be anything. Remember: two [i]s + two [e]s in that order.
* pronunciation - Nouns often differ from the verbs they are derived from. This is one of those. In this case, the pronunciation is different, too, an important clue.
* publicly - Let me publicly declare the rule (again): if the adverb comes from an adjective ending on -al, you include that ending in the adverb; if not, as here, you don't.

Q
* questionnaire - The French doing it to us again. Double up on the [n]s in this word and don't forget the silent [e]. Maybe someday we will spell it the English way.

R
* receive/receipt - I hope you have received the message by now: [i] before [e] except after . . . .
* recommend - I would recommend you think of this word as the equivalent of commending all over again: re+commend. That would be recommendable.
* referred - Final consonants are often doubled before suffixes (remit: remitted, remitting). However, this rule applies only to accented syllables ending on [l] and [r], e.g. "rebelled," "referred" but "traveled," "buffered" and not containing a diphthong, e.g. "prevailed," "coiled."
* reference - Refer to the last mentioned word and also remember to add -ence to the end for the noun.
* relevant - The relevant factor here is that the word is not "revelant," "revelent," or even "relevent." [l] before [v] and the suffix -ant.
* restaurant - 'Ey, you! Remember, these two words when you spell "restaurant." They are in the middle of it.
* rhyme - Actually, "rime" was the correct spelling until 1650. After that, egg-heads began spelling it like "rhythm." Why? No rhyme nor reason other than to make it look like "rhythm."
* rhythm - This one was borrowed from Greek (and conveniently never returned) so it is spelled the way we spell words borrowed from Greek and conveniently never returned.

S
* schedule - If perfecting your spelling is on your schedule, remember the [sk] is spelled as in "school." (If you use British or Canadian pronunciation, why do you pronounce this word [shedyul] but "school," [skul]? That has always puzzled me.)
* separate - How do you separate the [e]s from the [a]s in this word? Simple: the [e]s surround the [a]s.
* sergeant - The [a] needed in both syllables of this word has been pushed to the back of the line. Remember that, and the fact that [e] is used in both syllables, and you can write your sergeant without fear of misspelling his rank.
* supersede - This word supersedes all others in perversity. As if we don't have enough to worry about, keeping words on -ceed and -cede ("succeed," "precede," etc.) straight in our minds, this one has to be different from all the rest. The good news is: this is the only English word based on this stem spelled -sede.



T
* their/they're/there - They're all pronounced the same but spelled differently. Possessive is "their" and the contraction of "they are" is "they're." Everywhere else, it is "there."
* threshold - This one can push you over the threshold. It looks like a compound "thresh + hold" but it isn't. Two [h]s are enough.
* twelfth - Even if you omit the [f] in your pronunciation of this word (which you shouldn't do), it is retained in the spelling.
* tyranny - If you are still resisting the tyranny of English orthography at this point, you must face the problem of [y] inside this word, where it shouldn't be. The guy is a "tyrant" and his problem is "tyranny." (Don't forget to double up on the [n]s, too.)

U
* until - I will never stop harping on this until this word is spelled with an extra [l] for the last time!

V
* vacuum - If your head is not a vacuum, remember that the silent [e] on this one married the [u] and joined him inside the word where they are living happily ever since. Well, the evidence is suggestive but not conclusive. Anyway, spell this word with two [u]s and not like "volume."

WXYZ
* weather - Whether you like the weather or not, you have to write the [a] after the [e] when you spell it.
* weird - It is weird having to repeat this rule so many times: [i] before [e] except after...? (It isn't [w]!) (from http://www.yourdictionary.com/library/misspelled.html)

Cara Termudah Menghafal Al-Qur`an Al-Karim

Segala pujian hanya milik Allah, shalawat dan salam semoga terlimpahkan kepada Nabi kita Muhammad, kepada keluarganya, dan para sahabat seluruhnya.

Keistimewaan metode ini adalah seseorang akan memperoleh kekuatan dan kemapanan hafalan serta dia akan cepat dalam menghafal sehingga dalam waktu yang singkat dia akan segera mengkhatamkan Al-Quran. Berikut kami akan paparkan metodenya beserta pencontohan dalam menghafal surah Al-Jumuah:
1. Bacalah ayat pertama sebanyak 20 kali.
2. Bacalah ayat kedua sebanyak 20 kali.
3. Bacalah ayat ketiga sebanyak 20 kali.
4. Bacalah ayat keempat sebanyak 20 kali
5. Keempat ayat di atas dari awal hingga akhir digabungkan dan dibaca ulang sebanyak 20 kali.
6. Bacalah ayat kelima sebanyak 20 kali.
7. Bacalah ayat keenam sebanyak 20 kali.
8. Bacalah ayat ketujuh sebanyak 20 kali.
9. Bacalah ayat kedelapan sebanyak 20 kali.
10. Keempat ayat (ayat 5-8) di atas dari awal hingga akhir digabungkan dan dibaca ulang sebanyak 20 kali.
11. Bacalah ayat pertama hingga ayat ke 8 sebanyak 20 kali untuk memantapkan hafalannya.
Demikian seterusnya pada setiap surah hingga selesai menghafal seluruh surah dalam Al-Quran. Jangan sampai kamu menghafal dalam sehari lebih dari seperdelapan juz, karena itu akan menyebabkan hafalanmu bertambah berat sehingga kamu tidak bisa menghafalnya.

JIKA AKU INGIN MENAMBAH HAFALAN PADA HARI BERIKUTNYA, BAGAIMANA CARANYA?
Jika kamu ingin menambah hafalan baru (halaman selanjutnya) pada hari berikutnya, maka sebelum kamu menambah dengan hafalan baru dengan metode yang aku sebutkan di atas, maka anda harus membaca hafalan lama (halaman sebelumnya) dari ayat pertama hingga ayat terakhir (muraja’ah) sebanyak 20 kali agar hafalan ayat-ayat sebelumnya tetap kokoh dan kuat dalam ingatanmu. Kemudian setelah mengulangi (muraja’ah) maka baru kamu bisa memulai hafalan baru dengan metode yang aku sebutkan di atas.

BAGAIMANA CARANYA AKU MENGGABUNGKAN ANTARA MENGULANG (MURAJA’AH) DENGAN MENAMBAH HAFALAN BARU?
Jangan sekali-kali kamu menambah hafalan Al-Qur`an tanpa mengulang hafalan yang sudah ada sebelumya. Hal itu karena jika kamu hanya terus-menerus melanjutkan menghafal Al-Qur’an hingga khatam tapi tanpa mengulanginya terlebih dahulu, lantas setelah khatam kamu baru mau mengulanginya dari awal, maka secara tidak disadari kamu telah banyak kehilangan hafalan yang pernah dihafal. Oleh karena itu metode yang paling tepat dalam menghafal adalah dengan menggabungkan antara murajaah (mengulang) dan menambah hafalan baru. Bagilah isi Al-Qur`an menjadi tiga bagian,yang mana satu bagian berisi 10 juz. Jika dalam sehari kamu telah menghafal satu halaman maka ulangilah dalam sehari empat halaman yang telah dihafal sebelumnya hingga kamu menyelesaikan 10 juz. Jika kamu telah berhasil menyelesaikan 10 juz maka berhentilah menghafal selama satu bulan penuh dan isi dengan mengulang apa yang telah dihafal, dengan cara setiap hari kamu mengulangi (meraja’ah) sebanyak 8 halaman.
Setelah selesai satu bulan kamu mengulangi hafalan, sekarang mulailah kembali dengan menghafal hafalan baru sebanyak satu atau dua lembar tergantung kemampuan, sambil kamu mengulangi setiap harinya 8 halaman hingga kamu bisa menyelesaikan hafalan 20 juz. Jika kamu telah menghafal 20 juz maka berhentilah menghafal selama 2 bulan untuk mengulangi hafalan 20 juz, dimana setiap hari kamu harus mengulang (meraja’ah) sebanyak 8 halaman. Jika sudah mengulang selama dua bulan, maka mulailah kembali dengan menghafal hafalan baru sebanyak satu atau dua lembar tergantung kemampuan, sambil kamu mengulangi setiap harinya 8 halaman hingga kamu bisa menyelesaikan seluruh Al-Qur’an.
Jika anda telah selesai menghafal semua isi Al-Qur`an, maka ulangilah 10 juz pertama secara tersendiri selama satu bulan, dimana setiap harinya kamu mengulang setengah juz. Kemudian pindahlah ke 10 juz berikutnya, juga diulang setengah juz ditambah 8 halaman dari sepuluh juz pertama setiap harinya. Kemudian pindahlah untuk mengulang 10 juz terakhir dari Al-Qur`an selama sebulan, dimana setiap harinya mengulang setengah juz ditambah 8 halaman dari 10 juz pertama dan 8 halaman dari 10 juz kedua.

BAGAIMANA CARA MERAJA’AH AL-QURAN (30 JUZ) SETELAH AKU MENYELESAIKAN METODE MURAJA’AH DI ATAS?
Mulailah mengulangi Al-Qur’an secara keseluruhan dengan cara setiap harinya mengulang 2 juz, dengan mengulanginya 3 kali dalam sehari. Dengan demikian maka kamu akan bisa mengkhatamkan Al-Qur’an sekali setiap dua minggu.
Dengan metode seperti ini maka dalam jangka satu tahun (insya Allah) kamu telah mutqin (kokoh) dalam menghafal Al-Qur’an, dan lakukanlah cara ini selama satu tahun penuh.

APA YANG AKU LAKUKAN SETELAH MENGHAFAL AL-QUR’AN SELAMA SATU TAHUN?
Setelah menguasai hafalan dan mengulangInya dengan itqan (mantap) selama satu tahun, hendaknya bacaan Al-Qur’an yang kamu baca setiap hari hingga akhir hayatmu adalah bacaan yang dilakukan oleh Nabi -shallallahu alaihi wasallam- semasa hidup beliau. Beliau membagi isi Al-Qur`an menjadi tujuh bagian (dimana setiap harinya beliau membaca satu bagian tersebut), sehingga beliau mengkhatamkan Al-Qur’an sekali dalam sepekan.
Aus bin Huzaifah -rahimahullah- berkata: Aku bertanya kepada para sahabat Rasulullah -shallallahu alaihi wasallam-, “Bagaimana caranya kalian membagi Al-Qur`an untuk dibaca setiap hari?” Mereka menjawab:
نُحَزِّبُهُ ثَلَاثَ سُوَرٍ وَخَمْسَ سُوَرٍ وَسَبْعَ سُوَرٍ وَتِسْعَ سُوَرٍ وَإِحْدَى عَشْرَةَ سُورَةً وَثَلَاثَ عَشْرَةَ سُورَةً وَحِزْبَ الْمُفَصَّلِ مِنْ قَافْ حَتَّى يُخْتَمَ
“Kami membaginya menjadi (tujuh bagian yakni): Tiga surat, lima surat, tujuh surat, sembilan surat, sebelas surat, tiga belas surat, dan hizb al-mufashshal yaitu dari surat Qaf sampai akhir (mushaf).” (HR. Ahmad no. 15578).
Maksudnya:
-Hari pertama: Mereka membaca surat “al-fatihah” hingga akhir surat “an-nisa`”.
-Hari kedua: Dari surat “al-maidah” hingga akhir surat “at-taubah”.
-Hari ketiga: Dari surat “Yunus” hingga akhir surat “an-nahl”.
-Hari keempat: Dari surat “al-isra” hingga akhir surat “al-furqan”.
-Hari kelima: Dari surat “asy-syu’ara” hingga akhir surat “Yasin”.
-Hari keenam: Dari surat “ash-shaffat” hingga akhir surat “al-hujurat”.
-Hari ketujuh: Dari surat “qaaf” hingga akhir surat “an-nas”.
Para ulama menyingkat bacaan Al-Qur`an Nabi -shallallahu alaihi wasallam- ini menjadi kata: ”فَمِي بِشَوْقٍ“. Setiap huruf yang tersebut menjadi simbol dari awal surat yang dibaca oleh Nabi -shallallahu alaihi wasallam- pada setiap harinya. Maka:
- Huruf “fa`” adalah simbol dari surat “al-fatihah”. Maksudnya bacaan Al-Qur`an beliau di hari pertama dimulai dari surah al-fatihah.
- Huruf “mim” maksudnya bacaan Al-Qur`an beliau di hari kedua dimulai dari surah al-maidah.
- Huruf “ya`” maksudnya bacaan Al-Qur`an beliau di hari ketiga dimulai dari surah Yunus.
- Huruf ”ba`” maksudnya bacaan Al-Qur`an beliau di hari keempat dimulai dari surah Bani Israil yang juga dinamakan surah al-isra`.
- Huruf “syin” maksudnya bacaan Al-Qur`an beliau di hari kelima dimulai dari surah asy-syu’ara`.
- Huruf “waw” maksudnya bacaan Al-Qur`an beliau di hari keenam dimulai dari surah wash shaffat.
- Huruf “qaaf” maksudnya bacaan Al-Qur`an beliau di hari ketujuh dimulai dari surah qaf hingga akhir muashaf yaitu surah an-nas.
Adapun pembagian hizib yang ada pada Al-Qur an sekarang, maka itu tidak lain adalah buatan Hajjaj bin Yusuf.

BAGAIMANA CARA MEMBEDAKAN ANTARA BACAAN YANG MUTASYABIH (AYAT YANG MIRIP) DALAM AL-QUR’AN?
Cara terbaik untuk membedakan antara dua ayat yang kelihatannya menurut kamu hampir sama (mutasyabih), adalah dengan cara membuka mushaf dan carilah kedua ayat tersebut. Lalu carilah perbedaan antara kedua ayat tersebut, cermatilah perbedaan tersebut, kemudian buatlah tanda/catatan (di dalam hatimu) yang bisa kamu jadikan sebagai tanda untuk membedakan antara keduanya. Kemudian, ketika kamu melakukan murajaah hafalan, maka perhatikanlah perbedaan tersebut secara berulang-ulang sampai kamu mutqin dalam mengingat perbedaan antara keduanya.

BEBERAPA KAIDAH DAN KETENTUAN DALAM MENGHAFAL AL-QUR`AN:
1- Kamu harus menghafal melalui bantuan seorang guru yang bisa membenarkan bacaanmu jika salah.
2- Hafalkanlah 2 halaman setiap hari: 1 halaman setelah subuh dan 1 halaman setelah ashar atau maghrib. Dengan metode seperti ini (insya Allah) kamu akan bisa menghafal Al-Qur`an secara mutqin dalam kurun waktu satu tahun. Tetapi jika kamu memperbanyak kapasitas hafalan setiap harinya maka kemampuan menghafalmu akan melemah.
3- Menghafallah mulai dari surat an-nas hingga surat al-baqarah karena hal itu lebih mudah. Tapi setelah kamu menghafal Al-Qur`an maka urutan meraja’ahmu dimulai dari Al-Baqarah sampai An-Nas.
4- Dalam menghafal hendaknya menggunakan satu mushaf saja (baik dalam cetakan maupun bentuknya), karena hal itu sangat membantu dalam menguatkan hafalan dan agar lebih cepat mengingat letak-letak ayatnya, ayat apa yang ada di akhir halaman ini dan ayat apa yang ada di awal halaman sebelahnya.
5- Setiap orang yang menghafal Al-Qur’an pada 2 tahun pertama biasanya apa yang telah dia hafal masih mudah hilang, dan masa ini disebut fase at-tajmi’ (pengumpulan hafalan). Karenanya janganlah kamu bersedih karena ada sebagian hafalanmu yang kamu lupa atau kamu banyak keliru dalam hafalan. Ini adalah fase yang sulit sebagai ujian bagimu, dan ini adalah fase rentan yang bisa menjadi pintu masuknya setan untuk menghentikan kamu dari menghafal Al-Qur`an. Tolaklah was-was tersebut dari dalam hatimu dan teruslah menghafal, karena dia (menghafal Al-Qur`an) merupakan perbendaharaan harta yang tidak diberikan kepada sembarang orang.
