We have made the Quran easy for Remembrance

وَلَقَدْ يَسَّرْنَا الْقُرْآنَ لِلذِّكْرِ فَهَلْ مِن مُّدَّكِرٍ

And We have indeed made the Qur'an easy to understand and remember: then is there any that will receive admonition?

“The heart that has no Qur’an in it is like an abandoned ruined dwelling.” [At-Tirmidhi]. “The heart that has no Qur’an in it is like an abandoned ruined dwelling.” [At-Tirmidhi].

There is one absolute naseeha that will make or break the persons drive to memorize the Qur’an: One must desist from sin! Ibn Mas’ood said, “I feel that indeed someone will forget knowledge they had a acquired because of sins they commit.” There is one absolute naseeha that will make or break the persons drive to memorize the Qur’an: One must desist from sin!

Allah ta’ala teaches us in the Qur’an: “[Be conscious of Allah and Allah will teach you.] This knowledge is from Allah ta’ala, a gift. It makes no sense that someone spends their nights disobeying the gift-giver while awaiting His gifts in the morning”.

“A man asked Maalik ibn Anas, ‘O Abu ‘Abd-Allaah! Is there anything that will improve my memory?’ Maalik ibn Anas, rahimahullah, replied, ‘If anything will improve it, it is giving up sin.” “A man asked Maalik ibn Anas, ‘O Abu ‘Abd-Allaah!

Read the translation of the Quran before recitation, then keep that in mind while reciting. Having a basic knowledge of the theme, topic, message & meaning of what you are reciting makes the recitation of the Qur’an an incredibly uplifting experience. Quran can be best understood if one has the desire to implement it practically in life. It becomes a practical guide for the ones who desire it. It’s a hypocrites who read the Quran but never try to sincerely understand it as a word of Allah.
