How Jibril Reviewed the Quran With the Prophet

Jibril reviewed the Quran with the Prophet every year, and twice in the final year of the Prophet's life.

What the Quran and Sunnah say

The annual review teaches that new memorization alone is not enough. Revision is part of the prophetic model.

How to apply it

Build a murajaah cycle: daily, weekly and monthly. Recite to another person when possible.

Common misunderstanding

Revision is not weakness; it is the system that protects memorization.
