About aalimiyyah and hifdh

Assalamou Alaikum,
Mashallah on all your para completions; may Allah reward you for your efforts.
Personally, I do hifz (absolutely love it), and want to do Aalimah after I finish Inshallah.
Firstly, regarding hifz, I definitely struggle too with retaining the paras I have memorised. Right now, I would suggest stopping your sabaq/ new memorisation and revising the juz you’ve done, reciting them to someone else (your baji/teacher) in quarters, then gradually halves, then inshallah whole sparas. Set a limit to the mistakes u can make, e.g. 2 per quarter.
If you feel as though you want to read Quran and understand it, I would 100% recommend a translation Quran, which I also use to memorise my sabaq. You don’t need to do this though; I wouldn’t recommend switching Qurans during memorisation, however if you want to because for example you use a difficult Arabic Quran, do it ASAP. Translation Qurans are great, PM me for recs. If you don’t feel as knowledgeable on Islam, listen to lots of lectures, read lots of Islamic books (PM me for recs?) on topics that all Muslims should know; Tafsir, basic Fiqh, Aqeedah, Seerah, etc.
if you are still struggling with Hifz, I would say ask around the local mosques to see what the Aalimah courses offer, and if that appeals to you, then switch. However, I wouldn’t force this, personally, but that’s my bias and it’s 100% your decision.
Just remember, if you do make the switch to Aalimah, you have to constantly revise the juz You have memorised already, so that might actually make it more easy on you; you’re not learning new sabaq, and revising the previous one. In the Aalimah course, you essentially learn Quranic Arabic (one of the bits) and I’ve found that if I understand words/ ayahs of the Quran, it makes it easier for me to memorise them. Remember, whatever path you take forward, they’re both very beneficial for you and your Akhirah, Allahumma Barik. It’s good you don’t want to drop mosque completely; i would never advise that, my masjid experience has been one of my favourite ones.
Another hifz tip would be to find someone who is doing hifz and around the same age as you; it makes it much more enjoyable to track your progress, talk about memorisation difficulty, previous para revising, etc.
Benefits of hifz:

also, side benefits of hifz:
Helps you memorise information in general very quickly (e.g. for your GCSES next year, very handy)
Makes you feel more connected with your deen, especially when you think you know Allah’s words
Stimulates the brain, can essentially make you smarter
what do your parents think of this?
May Allah be pleased with our efforts in his religion. Ameen

But I am saying is it even worth being a hafiz if I will probs not remember all when revisiting will be so difficult not just that people say I should quit and do aalim as it is easier idk what you do you memorise not sure like hush need to know anyone that has done both and can be idea what I should do as someone told me is better being an aalim with memorised a quarter of Quran and know about Islam then being hafiz knowing nothing ygm here

I don’t think Aalimah is any easier than hifz, Aalimah course takes a lot of time, effort and many exams. Understanding the Quran is a big part of a Muslim’s life, so if you genuinely can’t do hifz anymore switch to Aalimah

But I am saying is it even worth being a hafiz if I will probs not remember all when revisiting will be so difficult not just that people say I should quit and do aalim as it is easier idk what you do you memorise not sure like hush need to know anyone that has done both and can be idea what I should do as someone told me is better being an aalim with memorised a quarter of Quran and know about Islam then being hafiz knowing nothing ygm here

Of course being knowledgable about Islaam without having memorised the entire Qur'aan word for word is better than a Haafidh who knows barely anything about Islaam (sadly there are many of these). We have plenty of people who have memorised the Qur'aan but the Ummah is more in need of people who understand it correctly, apply it in their lives, and teach others about it. However, this should not undermine the importance of memorising the Qur'aan. It is definitely worth memorising the Qur'aan and hadeeth as you will need to bring evidence for what you say. You should definitely prioritise memorising the Qur'aan if possible because in order to be an 'Aalimah, you would need to memorise a lot anyway.
Also, being an 'Aalimah is not easier than memorising the Qur'aan; it is much more than that. If to you being an 'Aalimah is merely doing one of them courses and getting a certificate, then yes maybe it is not too hard. But an 'Aalimah is much more than these courses and certificates. You can not become an 'Aalimah is just 5 years, rather it is a lifelong journey. In order to be a real 'Aalimah, you need to study numerous different sciences of the religion, study under scholars, memorise different principles and rules, read and study many different books, memorise relevant aayat and ahaadeeth, act upon your knowledge, teach other people what you have learnt, and be patient from the harms you will face because of this. It doesn't sound too easy now. However, don't let this put you off seeking knowledge as the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said (meaning): “Whoever travels a path in search of knowledge, Allah will make him traverse a path to Paradise. Verily, the angels lower their wings in pleasure for the seeker of knowledge. The inhabitants of the heavens and earth, even the fish in the depths of the water, seek forgiveness for the 'Aalim (scholar). The virtue of the 'Aalim over the worshipper is like the superiority of the moon over the stars. Verily, the scholars are the inheritors of the Prophets. The Prophets do not leave behind gold or silver coins, but rather they only leave behind knowledge. Whoever takes it has taken hold of an abundant fortune.” [Sunan al-Tirmidhī 2682 - Sahih (authentic) according to Al-Albani]
"Whoever travels a path in search of knowledge, Allah will make easy for him a path to Paradise. People do not gather in the houses of Allah, reciting the Book of Allah and studying it together, but that tranquillity will descend upon them, mercy will cover them, angels will surround them, and Allah will mention them to those near Him" [Sahīh Muslim 2699].

I’m saying I am doing hifdh now and struggling to finish and revise it all and considering it as there isn’t point if just gonna memorise it all without having any religous arkham and knowledge about Islam generally and is being an aalim easier like how much do you memorise like how big is a Hadith???

You should carry on and persevere as the goal is very much worth it, even if it is difficult. Considering you are still quite young, it would be ideal to carry on your hifdh and complete it sooner rather than later. Many of us regret not memorising earlier as our memory is much better when we are younger and it would have helped our memorisation later on. You can still do some studies on the side so you are still getting some knowledge while memorising the Qur'aan. For example you could split your study time into 75% for hifdh and 25% for other Islamic studies. If you had 2 hours a day of study time, then you do hifdh for 1 hour and 30 mins, and 30 mins of other Islamic studies. I also forgot to mention that to become an 'aalimah, you will need to learn Arabic if you don't already know it. This in itself is a whole different challenge but very important. Being an 'aalim is not easy due to the reasons mentioned in my last reply, but it is worth all the struggle.
As for hadeeth, they vary in length. An example of a short hadeeth is:

An example of a longer hadeeth is:

You will not memorise them in order of length, but rather you will memorise them in terms of importance. This longer hadeeth I just showed you is the very famous hadeeth of Jibreel and it will likely be the one of the first ones you learn and memorise due to its importance.
Some advice I would give you is that you make the most of your time and not waste it on useless activities. Look at your screen time on your phone and think about whether you need to be spending that much time on it. Instead you could use it for your studies. Furthermore, constant scrolling on social media will harm your memory and make your hifdh more difficult. At your age I was involved in a lot of nonsense and things which I regret so I am happy to see you so eager to learn your religion at your age. Therefore, I advise you to make the most of your time and to never give up seeking knowledge, even if it is little. If you were to only study and understand as little as the tafseer of 1 ayah and the explanation of 1 hadeeth a day (and I'm sure you could do much more), imagine the amount of knowledge you would have gathered in 10 years. You would only be 24 and have more knowledge than many Muslims who have reached beyond the age of 80.
