How to use it
Print the sheet on Thursday night so it is ready for Friday. Keep it in a folder or clip it together, and read a few pages at a time through the day if the full surah is too long in one sitting. If you are memorising the first ten ayat, put the first body page somewhere you will see it daily and read it aloud until it feels natural.
