    Default Sharpening the brain and improving memory



    What are some techniques for sharpening one's brain and concentration, and improving memory?

    Of course, the most fundamental is avoiding sins, but what else?

    شكوت إلى وكيع سوء حفظي . . . . . فأرشدني إلى ترك المعاصي

    وأخبرني بأن العلم نور . . . . . ونور الله لا يهــــــــــــــــدى لعاصي

    The following is suggested for good memory:

    1. Adopt effective ways and means to memorise, of which concentration and effort are the most important. Do not expect to commit something to memory without concentration and effort, unless one has a photo mind.

    2. Eat healthy and nutritional foods that are effective in strengthening one’s memory, for example, nuts, etc.

    3. Abstain from sinful acts and thoughts as that fills up the memory leaving little space for preserving good.

    4. Make du’aa to Allah to increase your memory and grant you taqfeeq to adopt the means for a good memory.

    5. Be punctual in your daily Salaats and stay in the company of the pious.

    6. Place your right hands on your forehead after each Fardh Salaat and recite 11 times ‘Yaa Qawiyyu’.

    and Allah Ta'ala Knows Best

    ASWRWB brother,

    Adding to sis UMM second post, there are some games that you can try which are designed to help improves your memory. Like training your body, your brain needs to be trained to remember things more sharply.

    Assalamualaikum,

    Brother this is from Hakimul Umath's 'Remedies from Holy Quran':

    "(Moses) said: "O my Lord! expand me my breast; Ease my task for me; And remove the impediment from my speech,So they may understand what I say:" Surah TA-HA [20: 25-28] -20x

    How to Recite: One should recite this verse 20 times after Fajar Salath every day for strong memory and progress in his knowledge.

    From my personal experience for any amal/dua to be successful, it should begin and end with darood. So please recite any darood 3x times before and after reciting the above verse 20x.

    Hope this helps ...

    Wassalaam

    3 things strengthen the memory
    1) recitation of the Quran majid.
    2) fasting
    3) using miswak. (source Virtues of Quran by shaikul hadith maulana muhamed Zakariya r.a)
