Abu Taymiyyah – The Phone is Stopping Memorisation

When you're memorizing,

make sure your mind is there.

Fully attentive.

Concentrating.

Not somebody who just came out of a

war zone in his house and then picks

up a guitar and there's a 101 things

on his mind.

If you want to memorize you need to

free your mind.

Okay?

And I'll give you a piece of advice,

you guys want to memorize, get rid of

your phone at a time of memorization.

The poet he said I began to dislike

the Internet.

And it made me feel so tight.

And the reason why I dislike the internet

is for a number of reasons.

Because also it's a very deep

ocean.

And you find that it ends up wasting

a lot of your time.

On Youtube, on Instagram, you're just sliding sliding

sliding going down down down down down down

for hours. And before you know

it, time is gone. Likewise on the YouTube

recommended channels.

Click on this one. Oh there's another video.

And another one. And another one. And another

one. That's what your phone does.

I know a lot of sisters who message

me, who may have kids, they say, oh

sir I don't have any time.

You got 24 hours in your day.

You can't find time even for 1 hour?

Get rid of your phone, that's what I

tell them. Weeks later they message back, Oh

Allah, hijackalaqairustad,

you know,

I advise him get rid of your phone.

A week later he goes to me, guess

what Buteyemi?

Guess what?

I switched off my phone,

In 1 hour I memorized 3 pages.

And before they couldn't do half.

And this brother is one of those guys

as soon as I message him, he's online.

He gets back to me.

Someone who is addicted to his phone.

Get rid of your phone guys if you

really want to get that knowledge.
