Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. He says: What is the guidance regarding this supplication, which is for the supplicant to say, “O Allah, grant me a quick memory so that I can memorize everything I want to memorize”?
Answer:
This is sufficient if you are memorizing. Ask Allah for beneficial knowledge and righteous action in memorization and other matters. If you want to ask Allah, say, “O Allah, I ask You for beneficial knowledge and righteous action.” As for mere memorization, how many there are who memorize the Qur’an and are more misguided than a donkey, even though they memorize it.
