The questioner : This is a listener to the program, Ramadan Hussein Ali from Iraq, Tarmiyah Governorate. He has two questions. In the first question, he says that he is very forgetful, in that when I memorize a surah from the Noble Qur'an, after a day or two I forget it, or forget a phrase or a word, and usually I skip this word to the one after it. So what do you advise me, may you be rewarded, so that I do not forget these blessed surahs? May Allah reward you with good?

The Shaykh : What we advise you is what the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) guided to, which is to keep up with the Qur'an, recite it frequently, and review it. For the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) commanded this and said: So recite the Qur'an frequently and turn away from the distractions that occupy your mind and cause you to forget. Then also strive to ensure that your review of the Book of Allah is accompanied by seeking help from Allah (Mighty and Majestic), for seeking help is coupled with worship, as He the Exalted said: And He the Exalted said: So if you seek help from Allah, entrust the matter to Allah, and strive to keep up with the Qur'an so that it becomes your primary preoccupation, then be glad that you will not forget it, if Allah wills. Yes.
