Innovative Way to Memorize the Quran (1)
There
are questions that you have to answer before you start memorizing the
Quran, so that your project is fruitful if Allah will. Everyone has his
own projects in life, but the best work will be memorizing the Book of
Allah Almighty.….
|
A Project for this World and the Hereafter
At
the beginning, you have to plan well for this project that will change
your life totally as it did to those who memorized the Quran before you.
Perfect planning requires you to study it well, study its benefits and
results, and study the shortest way to execute it. Without that, the
project will be unproductive, and this is the reason that many of those
who try to memorize the Quran fail.
Why do I memorize the Quran?
This
is a question you should ask yourself, and you should have a clear
answer to it in your mind, why should one memorize the Quran? Whenever
the benefits of this work are more, your determination will be higher
and you will achieve your goal easily. What are the benefits of
memorizing the Quran?
Benefits of memorizing the Quran
- Since
the Quran is the word of Allah Almighty, when you memorize it , this
will be the best you ever done! Memorizing the Quran will open all the
doors of good for you.
- Memorizing
the Quran means that you will obtain ten good deeds for each letter! If
you know, for example that the number of letters in the shortest Surah
in the Quran, which is Surah Al-Kawthar, is 42 letters. This Surah can
be read in seconds, which means that whenever you read it, your account
at Allah Almighty will increase to 420 good deeds, each one of these
good deeds is much better than this World and what is in it!! Consider
how many good deeds you will gain when you read the whole Quran which
includes more than three hundred thousand letters!!
- The
Quran includes all the sciences of this World and the Hereafter, the
stories of ancestors and successors. It includes many of the scientific,
cosmic, legislative and medical facts, and it includes also provisions,
laws and legislation that regulate the life of a believer and make him
much happier. This means that when you memorize the Quran, you memorize
the largest encyclopedia.
- This
Quran, which you memorize and keep today, will be your companion at the
dying moment!! It will be your defender and your intercessor at the
time you are abandoned by the nearest people. The Prophet (pbuh) says, "Read the Quran, it will be the intercessor of its companions on the Day of Resurrection"
Will there be a best moment other than the one when meeting on the Day
of Resurrection with Allah Almighty and you have memorized His words.
- When
you memorize the Quran, your expressing ability will be stronger
because of the classic Arabic you acquire from the Quran. You will have
more ability for dealing, endurance and patience, because memorizing the
Quran is not only like memorizing a poem, a story, or a song. However,
when you memorize the Quran, in fact you are changing your attitude
towards everything around you, and thus your behavior will be following
what you have memorized
- Our Lady Aysha (May Allah be pleased with her) was asked about the ethics of the Prophet and she said, "His ethics was the Quran"!! If you would like your ethics be like the Prophet's (pbuh), you have to memorize the Quran.
- The
Quran is a healing for physical and psychological diseases. If reading
Al-Fatiha (The Opening) cures a patient if Allah permits, what about who
memorize the whole Quran? You will get rid of devilish whispers; your
body immunity will increase due to the great change you experience while
you are memorizing the Quran. This is not only a theoretical speech
but a real experience that is witnessed by those who memorized the Quran
or parts of it.
- When
you decide to memorize the Quran, you won't have extra time, boredom,
nor a feeling of concern, stress and fear. The Quran will remove
concerns, grief and the accumulations of the past, you will be reborned.
Nonetheless, what prevent us from memorizing the Quran in our hearts?
Why do many people try to memorize the Book of Allah Almighty but they
cannot? The reason according what I think is a big problem that we have
to overcome, what is it?
What is the biggest problem you face in the project?
The
biggest problem that many may not be aware of is that the Quran has a
unique style that is not found in any other book, and this means you
take more time to familiarize yourself with this style, until every cell
in your body can interact with the Speech of Allah Almighty. Almighty
says, "Allah has revealed (from time to time)
the most beautiful Message in the form of a Book, consistent with
itself, (yet) repeating (its teaching in various aspects): the skins of
those who fear their Lord tremble thereat; then their skins and their
hearts do soften to the celebration of Allah’s praises. Such is the
guidance of Allah. He guides therewith whom He pleases, but such as
Allah leaves to stray, can have none to guide" [Az-Zumar: The Troops: 23]
Passing
this stage in the project of memorizing the Quran is the most
important. Most of those who start memorizing the Quran, then stop later
and do not continue, the reason will be that they are not familiar with
the Quran style. Therefore, you find them feel difficulty in
memorizing, feel upset and heaviness and they do not know the cause.
My
brother reader, if you know how information is stored in the brain,
this process will be easy. At the beginning, a month may pass to
memorize one page, but after six month, you can memorize this page in
two hours!! This is scientific, because storing information in the
cells of the brain is done according to an accelerated accumulation
system, the first page needs more time, and the second needs lesser time
and so on until we reach a stage where memorizing will be a more
enjoyable and very easy process. Almighty says, "And We have indeed made the Qur'an easy to understand and remember: then is there any that will receive admonition?" [Al-Qamar: The Moon: 17]
Advantages of this way
My brother believer! The way you are going to learn has several advantages:
- The
way is practical and very easy, and does not require a Sheikh, a
teacher or a reciter, but depends on self learning. I have tried it and
it has success.
- Memorizing
the Quran in this way does not mean only memorizing but it expands your
information horizon and assists you in deducting some of the Quran
wonders.
- This way does not require a specific time or system, but you can do at any time and in any how to be.
How can I start memorizing?
The
first step on the road to memorize the Quran thoroughly is to believe
that this project is the most important project in your life, and this
project will not take part of your time!!! Allah will bless your time
and you will find that the rest of your work will not stop, but it will
flourish and become much easier than before.
Do
not feel that memorizing the Quran will need any time. Whatever time
you spent in reading, considering and memorizing that will not impact
your time but your time will increase. I will give an example to
illustrate that:
If
you have time allotted for studying to succeed in the exam, and you
took some of it for memorizing the Quran, what is the result? Memorizing
the Quran will develop your grasp ability, expand your thinking range
and equip you with a great ability for memorizing, understanding and
comprehension. When you memorize some Surahs, you will notice that you
can understand your studies in time less than used to be, and this is
what I have gone through. Your performance on the test will greatly be
enhanced because memorizing the Quran gives you psychological and mental
stability and gives you the trust that Allah is the one who decides
your exam result and not your effort or work. This stability and trust
is half success.
Let us start the project
Please
dear reader start with listening to recited Quran for the longest
possible period, but why is this step? The aforementioned barrier which
prevents you from memorizing the Quran is due to your brain not
responding to memorizing the Quran because of its unique style which you
are not familiar to.
You
may listen to the Quran from a computer, a TV or a recorder which all
are given by Allah to us to make use of and benefit from listening to
the Quran through them. You may concentrate at the beginning on short
Surahs at the end of the Book and listen to them so many times a day,
especially after awakening and directly before going to bed.
If
you can sleep while the Quran is being recited, this has a great impact
on storing the Quran in your subconscious! This leads to a permanent
memorization of the Quran verses, in other words, your subconscious
retains these verses which you can retrieve any time you wish.
You
have to repeat listening to the same Surah many times, so that you are
familiar to. As for words you hear them for the first time and you do
not understand, you will find yourself got familiar and near to and
about to understand when you repeat listening to the Surah.
You
may wonder my beloved brother if I tell you that after memorizing the
Quran, the best thing to me is listening to recorded Quran recited by a
sweet voice, and you may wonder more if you know that I was spending
most of my time listening to songs, besides, I was playing some musical
instruments. Notwithstanding, when I have started listening to the Quran
for long periods, nothing else will amuse me other than the words of
Almighty.
There is a prophetical saying you have to learn, it is Our Beloved Apostle saying, “Who abandons anything for the sake of Allah, Allah compensates him with a better one than it”.
After I heard this saying, I have decided to desert all entertaining
means that shun mentioning Allah, and Allah has compensated me with the
Quran. Will you quit what diverts from mentioning Allah and ask Allah to
give you in turn something better?
What is next?
If
you want to memorize the Quran in addition to enjoy that, follow us in
this project which I introduce it as a gift for whoever loves the Quran.
You may register in the email list by entering your email address so
that you will be informed of what is new and you can follow the
memorization process easily if Allah permits.
We
will learn in the coming lesson how to memorize the Quran efficiently
and we will talk about some secrets of the memorizing process and
remembering from a scientific view. We ask Allah Almighty for
facilitation and acceptance.
Finally,
I
can tell you that the Quran has changed my life totally, why do not you
change your life and decide at this moment to join this profitable
project, and start the first step in memorizing the Quran by taking a
decision on that?
