So, the divine truth that we should realize first is that Allah Almighty will make memorization easy for who intended good faith on that. He will avail to him suitable circumstances for memorizing the Quran if he determines to memorize it, to go to Allah with a sound heart and to ask Allah assistance.<\/p>\n
We will start with an important paragraph about the mechanism of the memory so that we will be able through this piece of information to control our memory and make it subject to the will. This way will end oblivion forever.<\/p>\n
How does human memory work?<\/b><\/span><\/b><\/p>\n Maybe, the most complex part in the human body is the brain which is responsible for remembering and retrieving information.\u00a0 This is a grace from Allah Almighty that we should appreciate and take care of. You may consider the brain as a computer that needs caring for, maintenance, and required feed.<\/p>\n There is an important issue namely we take into account the method of information storage, so that it can be easily retrieved.\u00a0 If storage is associated with understanding, it will be more effective during retrieving.\u00a0 Therefore, we have to understand what we have memorized from available explanations.<\/p>\n Also, considering the verses during memorization increases the effectiveness of storing and retrieving.\u00a0 And if we know that the memory memorizes by linking information together, we need to link the verses by considering and broadening the understanding and our imagination.<\/p>\n For example, when I want to memorize Surah Joseph (pbuh), I must prepare myself. I need to know this story first and try to identify the wisdom of its presence in the Quran.\u00a0 Why Allah had revealed it to His beloved Mohammed (pbuh).\u00a0 What lessons that we can deduce from this story.\u00a0 We have thus prepared the brain to work and store well just as we prepare a computer to be ready to work.<\/p>\n What is the correct way of reviewing what had been memorized before, how can we retrieve things we think we have forgotten?<\/span><\/p>\n We should know that the subconscious mind of man is a major boon bestowed by Allah on us.\u00a0 However, provided that we use it in doing good and pleasing Allah Almighty.\u00a0 We should know that all things we have memorized will be copied in this subconscious, and they will stay for very long periods.<\/p>\n So, we can conclude that caring and training of the subconscious mind continuously lead to take advantage of its memorization abilities, because the apparent mind is quickly oblivious. We can take advantage of the subconscious mind when trained how to contact it. The best times for that are at night before going to bed. So, Allah Almighty mentioned night after mentioning the “heavy message” denoting the Quran.\u00a0\u00a0He said, “Soon shall We send down to thee a weighty Message.\u00a0<\/a>6. Truly the rising by night is most potent for governing (the soul), and most suitable for (framing) the Word (of Prayer and Praise).<\/span>\u00a0[Al- Muzzammil: The Enshrouded One, Bundled Up: 5-6] Night is the perfect time for reflecting upon, thinking and establishing memorization.<\/p>\n Therefore, you should wake up even for an hour or half an hour at night and review what you have memorized from the Quran.\u00a0 The result will be impressive and I can tell you dear reader that I have memorized Surahs and reviewed them in this way.\u00a0 Years or months may have passed because of my preoccupation of miracle sciences. Then, I recalled these Surahs, I remembered them as if I memorized them yesterday!<\/p>\n There is a question about the endings of verses where they mix with other endings for many brothers who want to memorize the Quran.\u00a0 What is the way to ensure not to confuse between these endings, namely, how can we identify an ending from the others?<\/span><\/p>\n The meaning of the verse ending should be joined to the meaning of the same verse. For example, in Allah\u2019s Almighty saying,\u00a0\u201cAs to the thief, Male or female, cut off his or her hands: a punishment by way of example, from Allah, for their crime:\u00a0and Allah is Exalted in power<\/span>.\u00a0<\/a>39. But if the thief repents after his crime, and amends his conduct, Allah turneth to him in forgiveness;\u00a0for Allah is Oft-forgiving, Most Merciful.<\/span>\u00a0<\/a>40. Knowest thou not that to Allah (alone) belongeth the dominion of the heavens and the earth? He punisheth whom He pleaseth, and He forgiveth whom He pleaseth:\u00a0and Allah hath power over all things<\/span><\/span>.<\/span>\u00a0[Al-Ma\u2019ida: The Table: 38-40]<\/p>\n This is a holy text comprising of 3 verses, each verse has an ending different form the other, how can we assure that our memorization is correct and we do not err?\u00a0 We should consider this holy text and consider each verse, what it means and we ask why the first verse ended with Allah saying, \u201cand Allah is Exalted in power\u201d<\/span>\u00a0and the second\u00a0\u201cfor Allah is Oft-forgiving, Most Merciful\u201d<\/span>\u00a0and the third\u00a0\u201cand Allah hath power over all things\u201d<\/span>\u00a0and how to differentiate between them?<\/p>\n How can one learn, practice and master the rules of reciting without a need for a teacher?<\/b><\/span><\/b><\/p>\n Listening to the Quran is the best means for mastering reciting rules. Hearing is not enough; one must listen and listen attentively. So, Allah did not say \u201clisten to it\u201d\u00a0only, but He said, \u201cWhen the Qur’an is read, listen to it\u00a0with attention<\/span>, and hold your peace: that ye may receive Mercy.\u201d<\/span>\u00a0[Al-A\u2019raf:The Heights: 204].\u00a0 Listening attentively is a kind of consideration in the way of pronouncing words as we hear them.\u00a0 We try to imitate what we hear. We repeat the verses with the one who recites on a recorder, a computer or a TV.<\/p>\n This does not prevent us, whenever the circumstances allow, to resort to one of the memorizers who master the rules of reciting. We have him listen to what we recite so that he corrects what we have read. We should know that we cannot abandon our teachers and scholars, but we should go to them every now and then.<\/p>\n What is the perfect way to review what has been memorized from Surahs and parts?<\/b><\/span><\/b><\/p>\n The perfect way for reviewing is to read what you have memorized in your prayers. I still remember those nights when I was standing in front of Allah Almighty and reading in one kneeling a relatively long Surah such as Surah Isra (The Night Journey), Joseph, or Al-Kahf(The Cave). I used to find much pleasure in this long prayer.<\/p>\n Therefore, I advice every young man and girl to taste the pleasure of long prayer and read a whole Surah from the long memorized Surahs in one or two kneeling.\u00a0 Maybe, things are difficult at the beginning but after that prayer at night will be the best moments that a believer may have.<\/p>\n Here, we remember the words of Allah Almighty ordering His beloved Apostle Mohammed (pbuh) to pray at night and prolong in kneeling, \u201cAnd pray in the small watches of the morning: (it would be) an additional prayer (or spiritual profit) for thee: soon will thy Lord raise thee to a Station of Praise and G<\/span>lory!\u201d [Al-Isra: The Night Journey: 79].<\/p>\n Read more:<\/strong><\/p>\n Innovative Way to Memorize the Quran (1)<\/a><\/p>\n Innovative Way to Memorize the Quran (2)<\/a><\/p>\n Innovative Way to Memorize the Quran (3)<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n Innovative Way to Memorize the Quran (4)<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n Innovative Way to Memorize the Quran (5)<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n![\"\"](\"http:\/\/kaheel7.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/1220koran-300x176.jpg\")
