Question:
May Allah reward you. A listener who did not mention her name says in her letter: My memory is very weak, and I memorize whatever is easy for me from the Qur'an. But every time I memorize a portion and move on to the next, my previous memorization is lost, even though I am constant in reviewing. So is it better for me to review the portions I have memorized and retain them, or to recite the remaining portions of the Qur'an daily? And what is your advice in this matter? May Allah reward us all with the best.
Answer:
You should combine both by repeating what you have memorized until it becomes firmly established, and by reading whatever is easy for you from the Qur'an in addition to that. And success is from Allah. Yes.
