SunniPath on Skills for Success as a Student
Memorizing and retaining knowledge is a skill. Like other skills, it takes practice to perfect. The following are some of the recommendations of scholars:
- Be industrious and committed
- Be patient, repeat what you are trying to memorize, and then review it regularly
- Try to memorize when you mind is clear of concerns
- Reduce your eating
- Increase night prayer
- Read Quran
- Send blessings on the Messenger of Allah (Allah bless him and give him peace)
- Use a siwak
Also see: SunniPath's library has a number of online books, articles, and multimedia collection.
=============================
Also, Sadiq shared ways to strenghten one's memory. Some of the things that may help to combat forgetfulness are the following:
- Keeping away from sin
- Frequently remembering Allah
- Not eating too much
- certain foods which increase the memory
- cupping (hijaamah) of the head
=============================
Taken from Breathe Islam:
‘I complained to Imam Waqee’ of my weak memory; he advised me to abstain from sins; for, verily, knowledge is a nur from Allah; and this nur of Allah is not awarded to sinners.’
- Imam Shafi’ee
