Benefiting from the verses of Allah and the best method for memorizing the Qur'an
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
Allah says: How do I benefit from the verses of Allah? And what is the easiest method for memorizing the Book of Allah, Mighty and Majestic?
The Shaykh:
You benefit from the verse of Allah if you bring your heart to it, listen to it, and reflect upon it. You read it with reflection, and you benefit from it. If you read it with reflection, and if you listen to it with attention, as the Exalted said:[Al-A'raf 7:204] So, listening with reflection, and reading with reflection, along with seeking Allah's (Glorified and Exalted is He) forgiveness and drawing near to Him through recitation, these are all means of benefiting from the Qur'an. Because reciting the Qur'an is an act of worship, so sincerity in it is necessary, and reflecting upon the Qur'an and listening to it is necessary. As for the last part of the question.
The questioner:
And may Allah reward you. What is the best method for the benefit of memorizing the Book of Allah?
The Shaykh:
This varies from person to person. The matter of memorization differs; some people have a quick memory, and some have a slow memory, so people differ. The best method is that you find a teacher and associate with him, and he guides you in memorizing the Qur'an. You repeat the Qur'an until it becomes fixed in your mind and memory. You read, for example, one page of the Qur'an and repeat it until it is fixed, then you move on to the next page, and so on. It is necessary to be patient. Some of the memorizers, when they memorize the Qur'an, read one page forty or fifty times in one sitting, but this requires patience. Yes.

So when the Qur'an is recited, then listen to it and pay attention that you may receive mercy.
