The Ruling on Using Mind Maps to Memorize the Noble Qur'an
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The first fax. This questioner says: In Riyadh, Shaykh Salih, what is the ruling on memorizing the Qur'an or its tafsir (exegesis) by drawing a tree structure, where a root is placed and meanings are branched from it, followed by results? They call this "golden maps." Is it permissible to use this method for memorizing the Qur'an or the hadiths?
Answer:
This is an innovation. Our righteous predecessors, up until recently, memorized the Qur'an and the hadiths without this method that the questioner mentioned. They sought help from Allah, made their intentions sincere for the sake of Allah, and memorized the Qur'an and the hadiths with the help of Allah, Glorified and Exalted is He. There is no need for this drawing or this. Yes.
