A preliminary review of the influence of colour and visual design in the process of Quranic memorization

Abstract

Memorizing the Quran (Hafazan Al-Quran) is a learning process that requires strong memory and effective repetition strategies. This study aims to explore the influence of colour and visual design in aiding the process of Quranic memorization. This preliminary survey was conducted to identify the extent to which colour elements and visual design impact memorization ability. The study employs a literature review methodology to analyse approaches used in visual education and their relationship with memorization. The findings indicate that specific colours can help enhance memory, while the use of mind maps, colour annotations, and systematic visual arrangements can facilitate understanding and memorization of Quranic verses. Additionally, the study found that hafazan-friendly mushaf designs, such as repetitive verse arrangements or colour-coded text, can assist memorizers in better recognizing verse patterns. These findings suggest that the strategic use of visual elements can serve as a supportive tool in the Quranic memorization process. This study is expected to lay the groundwork for further research in developing more systematic and effective colour and visual-based memorization modules.
