The following is suggested for good memory:
-
Adopt effective ways and means to memorise, of which concentration and effort are the most important. Do not expect to commit something to memory without concentration and effort, unless one has a photo mind.
-
Eat healthy and nutritional foods that are effective in strengthening one’s memory, for example, nuts, etc.
-
Abstain from sinful acts and thoughts as that fills up the memory leaving little space for preserving good.
-
Make du’aa to Allah to increase your memory and grant you taqfeeq to adopt the means for a good memory.
-
Be punctual in your daily Salaats and stay in the company of the pious.
-
Place your right hands on your forehead after each Fardh Salaat and recite 11 times ‘Yaa Qawiyyu’.
Improving the Memory
‘My Lord! Expand for me my bossom. Ease my task for me. Remove the knot from my speech so that they may understand what I say.’ (Juz 16; Rk11)
for strengthening the memory and progressing in knowledge, recite the above verses 20 times everyday after Fajr Salaat.
