Abu Taymiyyah – A Powerful Method Of Memorization

Also, one thing I wanted to do was

demonstrate

a method of memorization.

I have brother Abdullah with me

who

is going to be starting

madrasa

or Quran school on Monday. And today's for

Saturday.

Are you guys with me? Today is Saturday,

and he's going to be starting Quran school

when?

Monday.

You guys with me?

Today is

Saturday.

And he's going to be starting Quran school

when?

On Monday.

I know Masha'Allah, you memorize, right? You finished?

Yeah, Sheway left. Allah Mubarak.

Tayeb.

What does he start with on Saturday?

Let's just say for example, right,

Juzamah

going insha'Allah,

try to explain, memorizing a lot in a

very short space of time.

On Saturday,

he starts softening up that which he's going

to read to the teacher on Monday.

It doesn't have to be perfect,

it doesn't even have to be at the

level where

he's able to read the page fluently,

or even the ayat connected to one another.

As long as he can read it

when closing his eyes, jayd, no problem.

May take him half an hour, may take

him an hour,

right. And you can do that with 2

pages

or 3 pages, just depends on you. Or

10 lines of poetry,

right, or a hadith.

So on Saturday, what does he do?

He softens it up. Come Sunday,

he strengthens that which he softened up the

day before.

Are you guys with me?

So by the time when he goes to

his teacher on Monday,

Masha'Allah is solid.

So what do we say he does on

Saturday?

He softens it up. What does he do

on Sunday?

He strengthens it, there's also something else that

he has to do on Sunday.

He has to start softening up that which

he's going to read to the teacher

on Tuesday.

And you continue like that.

Bhaib,

come Monday,

What does he have to soften up?

That which he's going to read to his

teacher when on which day?

On Wednesday.

And he also strengthens that which he's going

to read to the teacher when?

On Tuesday.

Did everybody get that?

You can do a lot insha Allahu Ta'ala.

Right? You can memorize a lot in a

short space of time. And before all of

that, my beloved brothers and sisters, this is

the most important thing, I can give you

enough methods if you want.

Right?

And wallahi no one taught me this.

It just came about.

And for years I couldn't articulate this, wallahi

alaaleem.

I didn't know how to articulate it.

Right? I just used to make a lot

of Dua, a lot of Dua, a lot

of Dua.

And some of you guys may have seen

that viral video going around.

I was the type of person I could

not memorize.

Wallahi, without exaggeration, I would sit for 20

hours,

sometimes 19.

19 to 20 hours.

Right? And then go to the teacher as

if I never memorized anything.

And the teacher wouldn't kinda like get angry

because he sees me sitting in the masjid.

Excluding of course going for salaam and coming

back and, you know, the 10 minutes that

you would eat in.

And then they would say to me, go

and ask Allah as if we didn't last

Saturday night.

And before, you know, before I knew it

right,

things just started becoming easy.

You will not be able to acquire anything

except

Right?

Right? Did everybody get that? Do you wanna

repeat that for us Insha'Allah?

So you, Amdallallah,

today is Saturday and you're starting madrasah,

Quran's call on Monday.

What do you do now on Saturday?

So on Saturday, I start off the softening

method, where I soften the say a page

that I wanna learn. You don't memorize it

fully, just soften it. So even if the

ayats don't connect, you just have, like, a

brief,

memory of the page you're trying to memorize.

Excellent. And

then on Sunday, the next day, you solidify

what you learned the previous day. So instead

of just knowing the ayatul vow connecting them,

now you have to know it solidly the

whole page. You try to get it better

than what it was yesterday. It doesn't necessarily

have to be fluent,

like, you know, al Fatiha,

but it's better than yesterday,

okay. So we'll use the term strengthen, you

strengthen what you softened up yesterday. What else

do you do on Sunday? On Sunday you

soften up what you're gonna do for Tuesday.

Excellent.

And then you come to the teacher, don't

worry, you'll be

you'll be flying inshallah.

And just carry on the market. Then you

carry on like that. You carry on like

that. You carry on like that.

Are they?

I've been meaning to make this video for

such a long time.

All I promised a brother yesterday, and I

said to him, I'm gonna do it tomorrow.

And I hope, inshallah, it's beneficial for everyone.
