Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : In your opinion, Shaykh Muhammad, what is the best method for one who wants to memorize the Qur'an?
The Shaykh : This varies.
The questioner : Yes, Shaykh.
The Shaykh : Some people find it easy to memorize the Qur'an in large portions, memorizing a whole page and repeating it until they have it committed to memory. Others prefer to memorize a small amount, four or five lines, and then move on to other lines. Each person does so according to their own disposition. It is also recommended to memorize the Qur'an while in a state of emptiness, specifically an empty stomach, because memorizing the Qur'an while full may make memorization difficult and hasten forgetting. Yes.
The questioner : May Allah reward you, Shaykh, and bless you and your knowledge. The sister asking from al-Qassim says, O honorable Shaykh.
