Where should a person who wants to start memorising the Holy Qur’an begin?
Question

                If someone wants to memorise the Holy Qur’an, what advice can you give?
Praise be to Allah.
      Shaykh Muhammad ibn Saalih al-‘Uthaymeen (may Allah have 
      mercy on him) was asked this question and he replied as follows: 

    What we advise him to do is to begin with al-Baqarah, unless 
    he has memorised from al-Mufassal [the soorahs beginning with Qaaf, until 
    the end of the Qur’an – al-Haafiz Ibn Hajar], because for some people it is 
    easier to memorise from al-Mufassal because the soorahs and verses are 
    shorter, and they hear them a great deal from the imams in the mosques. So 
    if that is easier for him, let him begin with that which is easier. We also 
    advise him to pay more attention to what he has already memorised than 
    paying attention to memorising a great deal, because paying attention to 
    what is already there takes precedence over paying attention to what is not 
    there.
