Supplications to Help Prevent Forgetting in Studies
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner says: Honorable Shaykh, are there any verses or dhikr (remembrance of Allah) that help one not to forget, especially in the context of my studies? Should I repeat these verses so that I do not forget?
Answer:
You were generous in your supplication. It is recommended to increase in supplication by saying, “O Allah, O Teacher of Ibrahim, teach me, and O One who gave understanding to Sulayman, give me understanding,” or by saying, “O Allah, remind me of what I have forgotten and teach me what I do not know. O Allah, help me in seeking knowledge and in recalling the correct answer,” and the like. This is seeking help from Allah (Mighty and Majestic) and humbling oneself before Him. Allah is near and responsive. Yes.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you with good.
