			demonstrate
		
00:00:13 --> 00:00:14
			a method of memorization.
		
00:00:20 --> 00:00:22
			I have brother Abdullah with me
		
00:00:23 --> 00:00:24
			who
		
00:00:24 --> 00:00:25
			is going to be starting
		
00:00:26 --> 00:00:27
			madrasa
		
00:00:28 --> 00:00:31
			or Quran school on Monday. And today's for
		
00:00:32 --> 00:00:32
			Saturday.
		
00:00:34 --> 00:00:35
			Are you guys with me? Today is Saturday,
		
00:00:36 --> 00:00:38
			and he's going to be starting Quran school
		
00:00:38 --> 00:00:38
			when?
		
00:00:42 --> 00:00:42
			Monday.
		
00:00:43 --> 00:00:44
			You guys with me?
		
00:00:45 --> 00:00:46
			Today is
		
00:00:47 --> 00:00:47
			Saturday.
		
00:00:48 --> 00:00:50
			And he's going to be starting Quran school
		
00:00:50 --> 00:00:50
			when?
		
00:00:51 --> 00:00:52
			On Monday.
		
00:00:52 --> 00:00:55
			I know Masha'Allah, you memorize, right? You finished?
		
00:00:56 --> 00:00:58
			Yeah, Sheway left. Allah Mubarak.
		
00:00:59 --> 00:01:00
			Tayeb.
		
00:01:01 --> 00:01:03
			What does he start with on Saturday?
		
00:01:04 --> 00:01:06
			Let's just say for example, right,
		
00:01:06 --> 00:01:07
			Juzamah
		
00:01:07 --> 00:01:08
			going insha'Allah,
		
00:01:09 --> 00:01:11
			try to explain, memorizing a lot in a
		
00:01:11 --> 00:01:12
			very short space of time.
		
00:01:15 --> 00:01:16
			On Saturday,
		
00:01:17 --> 00:01:19
			he starts softening up that which he's going
		
00:01:19 --> 00:01:21
			to read to the teacher on Monday.
		
00:01:22 --> 00:01:24
			It doesn't have to be perfect,
		
00:01:25 --> 00:01:26
			it doesn't even have to be at the
		
00:01:26 --> 00:01:27
			level where
		
00:01:28 --> 00:01:30
			he's able to read the page fluently,
		
00:01:31 --> 00:01:33
			or even the ayat connected to one another.
		
00:01:33 --> 00:01:35
			As long as he can read it
		
00:01:35 --> 00:01:38
			when closing his eyes, jayd, no problem.
		
00:01:38 --> 00:01:40
			May take him half an hour, may take
		
00:01:40 --> 00:01:41
			him an hour,
		
00:01:41 --> 00:01:43
			right. And you can do that with 2
		
00:01:43 --> 00:01:44
			pages
		
00:01:44 --> 00:01:47
			or 3 pages, just depends on you. Or
		
00:01:47 --> 00:01:48
			10 lines of poetry,
		
00:01:49 --> 00:01:50
			right, or a hadith.
		
00:01:53 --> 00:01:55
			So on Saturday, what does he do?
		
00:01:56 --> 00:01:59
			He softens it up. Come Sunday,
		
00:02:00 --> 00:02:02
			he strengthens that which he softened up the
		
00:02:02 --> 00:02:03
			day before.
		
00:02:05 --> 00:02:06
			Are you guys with me?
		
00:02:08 --> 00:02:09
			So by the time when he goes to
		
00:02:09 --> 00:02:10
			his teacher on Monday,
		
00:02:11 --> 00:02:12
			Masha'Allah is solid.
		
00:02:13 --> 00:02:15
			So what do we say he does on
		
00:02:15 --> 00:02:15
			Saturday?
		
00:02:16 --> 00:02:18
			He softens it up. What does he do
		
00:02:18 --> 00:02:19
			on Sunday?
		
00:02:19 --> 00:02:21
			He strengthens it, there's also something else that
		
00:02:21 --> 00:02:22
			he has to do on Sunday.
		
00:02:23 --> 00:02:25
			He has to start softening up that which
		
00:02:25 --> 00:02:27
			he's going to read to the teacher
		
00:02:27 --> 00:02:28
			on Tuesday.
		
00:02:31 --> 00:02:32
			And you continue like that.
		
00:02:34 --> 00:02:34
			Bhaib,
		
00:02:36 --> 00:02:36
			come Monday,
		
00:02:37 --> 00:02:38
			What does he have to soften up?
		
00:02:39 --> 00:02:41
			That which he's going to read to his
		
00:02:41 --> 00:02:42
			teacher when on which day?
		
00:02:43 --> 00:02:44
			On Wednesday.
		
00:02:44 --> 00:02:46
			And he also strengthens that which he's going
		
00:02:46 --> 00:02:47
			to read to the teacher when?
		
00:02:49 --> 00:02:49
			On Tuesday.
		
00:02:52 --> 00:02:53
			Did everybody get that?
		
00:02:55 --> 00:02:56
			You can do a lot insha Allahu Ta'ala.
		
00:02:56 --> 00:02:58
			Right? You can memorize a lot in a
		
00:02:58 --> 00:02:59
			short space of time. And before all of
		
00:02:59 --> 00:03:01
			that, my beloved brothers and sisters, this is
		
00:03:01 --> 00:03:02
			the most important thing, I can give you
		
00:03:02 --> 00:03:04
			enough methods if you want.
		
00:03:04 --> 00:03:05
			Right?
		
00:03:05 --> 00:03:07
			And wallahi no one taught me this.
		
00:03:07 --> 00:03:08
			It just came about.
		
00:03:09 --> 00:03:11
			And for years I couldn't articulate this, wallahi
		
00:03:11 --> 00:03:12
			alaaleem.
		
00:03:12 --> 00:03:14
			I didn't know how to articulate it.
		
00:03:15 --> 00:03:17
			Right? I just used to make a lot
		
00:03:17 --> 00:03:18
			of Dua, a lot of Dua, a lot
		
00:03:18 --> 00:03:19
			of Dua.
		
00:03:19 --> 00:03:21
			And some of you guys may have seen
		
00:03:21 --> 00:03:23
			that viral video going around.
		
00:03:23 --> 00:03:25
			I was the type of person I could
		
00:03:25 --> 00:03:26
			not memorize.
		
00:03:26 --> 00:03:29
			Wallahi, without exaggeration, I would sit for 20
		
00:03:29 --> 00:03:29
			hours,
		
00:03:30 --> 00:03:31
			sometimes 19.
		
00:03:32 --> 00:03:34
			19 to 20 hours.
		
00:03:34 --> 00:03:36
			Right? And then go to the teacher as
		
00:03:36 --> 00:03:37
			if I never memorized anything.
		
00:03:39 --> 00:03:41
			And the teacher wouldn't kinda like get angry
		
00:03:41 --> 00:03:43
			because he sees me sitting in the masjid.
		
00:03:44 --> 00:03:47
			Excluding of course going for salaam and coming
		
00:03:47 --> 00:03:48
			back and, you know, the 10 minutes that
		
00:03:48 --> 00:03:49
			you would eat in.
		
00:03:51 --> 00:03:53
			And then they would say to me, go
		
00:03:53 --> 00:03:55
			and ask Allah as if we didn't last
		
00:03:55 --> 00:03:56
			Saturday night.
		
00:03:57 --> 00:03:59
			And before, you know, before I knew it
		
00:03:59 --> 00:04:00
			right,
		
00:04:01 --> 00:04:02
			things just started becoming easy.
		
00:04:03 --> 00:04:05
			You will not be able to acquire anything
		
00:04:05 --> 00:04:05
			except
		
00:04:09 --> 00:04:10
			Right?
		
00:04:14 --> 00:04:16
			Right? Did everybody get that? Do you wanna
		
00:04:16 --> 00:04:17
			repeat that for us Insha'Allah?
		
00:04:17 --> 00:04:18
			So you, Amdallallah,
		
00:04:19 --> 00:04:21
			today is Saturday and you're starting madrasah,
		
00:04:21 --> 00:04:23
			Quran's call on Monday.
		
00:04:24 --> 00:04:25
			What do you do now on Saturday?
		
00:04:26 --> 00:04:29
			So on Saturday, I start off the softening
		
00:04:29 --> 00:04:31
			method, where I soften the say a page
		
00:04:31 --> 00:04:33
			that I wanna learn. You don't memorize it
		
00:04:33 --> 00:04:35
			fully, just soften it. So even if the
		
00:04:35 --> 00:04:37
			ayats don't connect, you just have, like, a
		
00:04:37 --> 00:04:38
			brief,
		
00:04:38 --> 00:04:40
			memory of the page you're trying to memorize.
		
00:04:40 --> 00:04:42
			Excellent. And
		
00:04:45 --> 00:04:47
			then on Sunday, the next day, you solidify
		
00:04:48 --> 00:04:50
			what you learned the previous day. So instead
		
00:04:50 --> 00:04:52
			of just knowing the ayatul vow connecting them,
		
00:04:52 --> 00:04:53
			now you have to know it solidly the
		
00:04:53 --> 00:04:55
			whole page. You try to get it better
		
00:04:55 --> 00:04:57
			than what it was yesterday. It doesn't necessarily
		
00:04:57 --> 00:04:58
			have to be fluent,
		
00:04:59 --> 00:05:00
			like, you know, al Fatiha,
		
00:05:00 --> 00:05:02
			but it's better than yesterday,
		
00:05:02 --> 00:05:05
			okay. So we'll use the term strengthen, you
		
00:05:05 --> 00:05:07
			strengthen what you softened up yesterday. What else
		
00:05:07 --> 00:05:09
			do you do on Sunday? On Sunday you
		
00:05:09 --> 00:05:11
			soften up what you're gonna do for Tuesday.
		
00:05:12 --> 00:05:12
			Excellent.
		
00:05:13 --> 00:05:14
			And then you come to the teacher, don't
		
00:05:14 --> 00:05:15
			worry, you'll be
		
00:05:16 --> 00:05:17
			you'll be flying inshallah.
		
00:05:19 --> 00:05:20
			And just carry on the market. Then you
		
00:05:20 --> 00:05:21
			carry on like that. You carry on like
		
00:05:21 --> 00:05:23
			that. You carry on like that.
		
00:05:24 --> 00:05:24
			Are they?
		
00:05:26 --> 00:05:28
			I've been meaning to make this video for
		
00:05:28 --> 00:05:29
			such a long time.
		
00:05:29 --> 00:05:30
			All I promised a brother yesterday, and I
		
00:05:30 --> 00:05:32
			said to him, I'm gonna do it tomorrow.
		
00:05:32 --> 00:05:35
			And I hope, inshallah, it's beneficial for everyone.
