0:01 How can we increase our memory power and work so fast? How can we memorize so fast and remember it for long? Is there any secret? Please pray. Please pray for me. Please pray for me to Allah that he gives more patience and increase my power. May Allah subhanaa tala give you more sabar and increase your power, increase your memory. Now coming to your question that how can we increase our memory power? How can you memorize so fast and how do you memorize for so long? Normally there are various techniques that you find in courses for memory and if you Google and there are many courses of how you can increase the memory. There are courses like mapping
0:46 and different techniques of memory. But I personally feel that the best way to memorize is the help of Allah subhanaa tala. And there are three points which are always mentioned in my dawa training program or for success in any matters. Number one is the help of Allah. Allah says in surah Imran 3 verse number 160 if Allah helps you then none can overcome you. If Allah forsakes you who is there then who can help you? So let the believers put their trust in Allah subhanaa tala. So number one is help help of Allah. Trust in Allah. Believe in him. Have faith in him. His help is number one for your success. Without his help you cannot get
1:33 success. You may get temporary success but not ultimate success in this world. Number two, Allah says in the Quran in surah al kabud chapter number 29 verse number 69 that if you strive in his path Allah will open up his pathways for you. So if you strive and if you struggle if you do jihad in the way of Allah subhanana wa tala Allah will open up pathways. So number two is after having faith in Allah you should strive and struggle you should do hard work. And number three is Allah says in surah chapter 16:43 and surah ama chapter number 21 verse number 7 first is in if you don't know ask the person
2:20 who's knowledgeable the last is the technique so number one for memory of any success is ask for Allah's help see that your nia is very pure see that you're doing it for sake of Allah and only to gain the pleasure of Allah Number two, strive and struggle. And number three is the technique. As far as the memory is concerned, there are different types of memory. There is something like a temporary memory, something like an uh immediate memory and something which is memory of the past, something which is a permanent memory. So normally when you memorize whether you're memorizing the Quran or whether memorizing a lecture or whether memorizing any
3:06 matter hard work is important and depending upon Allah's help some people may read it once they may have a photogenic memory and it goes in their memory for long you know for example Imam Bkari mashallah Allah had given him a photogenic memory his memory was phenomenal he didn't have to work hard like us. That was Allah's help. So if you have that level of help of Allah then that is ultimate. But naturally the iman was high and is and help of Allah also was high but generally everyone should seek Allah. Number one number two strive and struggle. What you have to do when you memorize of course you have to repeat
3:52 that multiple times and once you repeat it few times, five times, six time whether it be one sentence, two sentence or three sentence whether it be few of the Quran or maybe one verse if you keep on repeating it goes into your memory but it goes into your temporary memory. So for it to be for a longer time what you have to do once you repeat it a few times. Now again repeat it after maybe maybe half an hour then repeat again after 2 hours then again after 5 hours. The more you repeat and memorize it keeps on going deeper and deeper in your memory. So if you're preparing for lecture tomorrow maybe you memorize it then
4:38 again repeat it after half an hour then repeat that thing after 2 hours after 5 hours you you repeat it few times and then maybe you able to give the lecture but after you deliver the lecture if you ask to deliver the same lecture after one year you won't be able to do it leave one year after one month you can't do it even after one week you may not be able to do it because it was only in your temporary memory so what you have to do after you have delivered the lecture lecture you have to keep on repeating it or if you are giving a lecture again after a month again you you memorize it so if you want it to be part of your permanent memory then you have to do moraja you have to do revision and that's what is done by the people who are half of the Quran if you memorize the Quran you know if you memorize the full
5:23 Quran you're called half of the Quran that means you memorize the full Quran by heart but if you really analyze most of the are there in the world. There are millions of but all of them cannot repeat the Quran in one go or they may memorize the Quran. They memorize a few verses then maybe a few surah there may be a judge maybe two Jews by they keep on memorizing the full Quran 30 Jews then they may forget the first Jew or the second Jew or third Jew unless they do mura. So the different techniques of memorizing if you keep on memorizing going ahead and don't revise your past memory you will forget it. So what they do when you memorize a few pages when you keep on going ahead you even keep on revising what you had memorized
6:09 yesterday or what you memorized a week back or what you memorized a month back. Of course the more you keep on memorizing the if the volume keeps on increasing the you memorize keep on increasing to memorize everything is difficult. So then you have to divide yourself in memorizing new new verses of the Quran as well as in doing revision. A time will come that the time for revision is more than the time you are required to memorize the new verses. So if you do a proper system and once you finish the Quran normally when a human being completes memorizing the Quran he cannot repeat the Quran from first page to the last page. No, that's a misconception. Of course, he has to do moraja. So if he spends time maybe two
6:54 years in memorizing the Quran, some people take three years, some people finish in one year. The faster you memorize, the faster you forget. There are courses where we are in a school, we memorize the Quran in two months. It's possible. But if you finish in two months and you stop after one month, you cannot repeat the Quran. So even if you finish the Quran in two months if you spend about 10 or 12 hours a day a crash course your muraja will take multiple months or years. So it's the same thing you memorize in two months and you division for few years or you memorize in few years and take additional few years for revision. So the main secret of memory is that you keep on repeating till the time it goes in your permanent memory. Now most of the Muslims majority they know surah fatya
7:41 because surah fatya has become a part of their memory because Muslims are supposed to pray five times a day and if you pray five times a day you have to read the minimum 17 raha of with with a 20 raha so 20 times if you're repeating in the day if you wake up that Muslim in the middle of his night who's been praying regularly not a Muslim who doesn't pray if a person who prays regularly Or even if he prays even once a day, if he's praying for many years, if you wake him up from the middle of his sleep and you ask him to recite surah faty, he can do it easily because that has gone into his permanent memory. Even in permanent memory there are levels deep down
8:27 permanent memory you know or not deep
