Good memorisation

So you've memorised a sequence of Ayaat (verses) from the Holy Qur'an and can recite them in correct succession. What's more, when randomly given the first few words of an Ayah, you can reply instantaneously with the first few words of the following Ayah. That's good memorisation, maa sha Allah.

However, here's the test of great memorisation. When randomly given the first few words of an Ayah, can you state the first few words of the preceding Ayah? Try it. It's hard but a great technique to solidify your knowledge.

Yes thats an excellent technique and its sa3b jidden!

Problems with memorisation also comes to us when we fall into sin, for the light of knowledge cannot enter the heart of the one who sins. We sometimes find that the abilty to memorise is weakened when one commit what people may consider minor sins.

But iA, we follow a sin with a good deed and iA it will wipe it out.

maa sha allahu, maa sami3tu hadhihi-al-kalimati min qablu: rakkaza. ma3naahaa fee hadha-as-siyaaqi, "to fix", na3am?

Wa iyaaka.
Fi hizmatika (nice phrase to say that 'you're welcome' but literally means, 'Im at your service')

fi hadha siyaaq: asta3maltu al f3l.
'Rakkaza, yurakkizu' wa ma3naa:
'to concentrate'.
