The most important daily habit

 Assalamualaikum wa rahmatullahi wa barakatuh, 

After a very long time I came across my blog once again and I decided I wanted to write something that I hope will benefit you inshaAllah.  

I have found memorizing quran to be something I consistently struggle with mainly keeping a habit of it. Here are some tips I have found that helped me to make progress in my memorisation.  

1. Think about the importance of the Quran, we know as muslims it is divine guidance so why would we not want to read and memorise it? The more we memorise the more we can use in our salah which should also help with our khushoo too inshaAllah.  This particularly helps if you are falling short of doing it daily, I know I have slacked and completely stopped memorizing for a while but when I really think about how important it is I make it a priority to do it. 

2. Set a daily timer for it, build up to 30mins maybe start with 10mins the point is to be consistent as we know the consistent actions are the most beloved to Allah. No matter what do not end your day without this. If we can make time for everything else why cant we do this? 

3. Recite aloud I find when I do my memorizing aloud not only does it stick better but it soothes my heart and always helps me with any negative emotion I might have felt before. Trust me it is the best and only real pacifier for the heart. 

4. Go over the parts you are confident in ,in your salah , but make sure you are confident with it. Also go over previous surahs as part of your daily habit so you dont forget previous memorised surahs. 

Alhamdulilah I have been consistently doing half an hour of memorizing daily and my day is not complete without it, honestly it makes me feel so amazing too when I recite aloud I feel so much peace and it allows me to strengthen my recitation alhamdulilah.  Please try these tips and let me know if they help! It is definitely a struggle but keep trying!
