Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says that he used to memorize many parts of the Qur'an, but then his conduct became bad, and he forgot them, and he committed a sin that caused him to be admitted to the hospital, and he regrets his negligence in memorization, and he tried to regain his memorization, but he was unable to do so. So what is your advice? May Allah bless you and benefit through you?
Answer:
The advice is to ask his Lord for success, to be steadfast in obedience to Allah, to adhere to repentance from the sin he has neglected, and to be hopeful of good. He will be preserved; he will strive, reciting whatever is easy for him, organizing his recitation to a part, half a part, a page, or two pages, either at night or during the day. Be hopeful of good; he will be preserved. Allah says:[Al-Ma'idah 5:6] He makes his affair easy. And He, the Exalted, says: [At-Talaq 65:2-3] And whoever fears Allah, He, Glorious and Exalted is He, says: [Al-Hashr 59:18] And never will [Al-Hashr 59:18] Allah [Al-Hashr 59:18] And He, the Exalted, says: [Al-Anfal 8:29] meaning light and insight. So you must fear Allah and be hopeful of good, memorize whatever is easy for you, and persist. Be hopeful. Yes.

اللَّهُ لِيَجْعَلَ عَلَيْكُم مِّنْAnd whoever fears Allah - He will make for him a way out (3) And will provide for him from where he does not expect.
وَمَن يَتَّقِ اللَّهَ يَجْعَل لَّهُ مَخْرَجًا وَيَرْزُقْهُ مِنْ حَيْثُ لَا يَحْتَسِبُO you who have believed, fear Allah
يَا أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا اتَّقُوا اللَّهَAnd let every soul look to what it has put forth for tomorrow
وَلْتَنظُرْ نَفْسٌ مَّا قَدَّمَتْ لِغَدٍand fear Allah. Indeed, Allah is Acquainted with what you do.
وَاتَّقُوا اللَّهَ إِنَّ اللَّهَ خَبِيرٌ بِمَا تَعْمَلُونَif you fear Allah, He will grant you a criterion
إِن تَتَّقُوا اللَّهَ يَجْعَل لَّكُمْ فُرْقَانًا
