In this article, we will mention things that will help an aid a person to memorize the Quran and not forget it.
what are practical steps that a person can take in order to memorize the Quran and keep it with them so they don’t forget it a lot.
the following is what a person should do there

1. Consistency

a person’s consistency in reading the Quran and going over it a lot.
if a person does the revision of the Quran and keeps going over it a lot, the person will learn Quran.
Hadith How to Keep Quran memorized: the prophets صَلَّى اللّٰهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ told us in the hadith; like the person who’s holding on to the Quran and has memorized the Quran, that it’s like a camel that is tied if the person comes back to it and ties it and makes sure that it’s there and overlooks it, then that camel would never get away from him, but if he doesn’t, he leaves it, camel walks away from it.
Another Example: If you hunted a deer today and you got the deer what would you do?
You’ll have to tie it stronger and you will always have to overlook it if it’s there. has it left, has it moved or has it in the Rope tighten? You overlook it just so it doesn’t leave.

the Quran is like that the person has to keep looking over it making sure that it doesn’t get away from him.

2. Stay Away from Sins

the second thing that helps you memorize the Quran and also to keep the Quran memorization strong is, To lessen or to stay away from sins and shortcomings and errors and going against Allah SWT and his commands.
Why? because we all know what does sin does to the blessings of Allah, they remove blessings.
Don’t they? isn’t the Quran, a blessing? Yes, the Quran is a blessing this it destroys his blessings. that’s what Allah SWT said in the Quran; that there is not a calamity that befalls you, the only reason why this calamity fell onto you is because of that, which your hands have put forward.
So calamities trials and tribulations fall on you because of sins.
So if a person is not given the Quran, what is it?
It’s a punishment. the best of speeches are not being given to you, the reason is that there are obstacles and things that are standing in the way,

3. Stay Focused

Also, the other thing that helps is staying away from being a person who’s excessively stressed. A person who is depressed, the things that make a person stressed is when they connect their heart other than Allah SWT.
Placing things like the Dunya in your heart, placing in your site the Dunya and giving so much importance to it.
it starts to stress you out and when a student of knowledge or a person is learning the Quran places other things in his way, the stress is increased and when they express stress increases and the responsibility increases, what happens then? you’re unable to memorize Quran with tajweed.
That’s what Allah says in the Quran; Allah has not placed in a person two hearts.
You can’t have one leg in the Dunya and another leg you have to memorize the Quran,
So how would you memorize Quran? when you give the whole heart to Quran memorization.
So lessen every other obstacle on the way, get rid of it.

4. Gratitude / Shukr

The other thing is increasing in asking or expressing to Allah and showing him that you are grateful for what he has done for you.
Gratitude allows you to gain more than what you have, as Allah said in the Quran; If you show the gratitude I will increase for you.
you memorize 10 surahs if you show gratitude I’ll give you another ten. you show gratitude again, I’ll give you more. Allah will increase it for you,
Ulama they said; that gratitude (Shukr) restricts holds down for you what you already have. When you hold it down with Shukr the blessing that you already have, it holds it down for you. and that what you don’t have that’s not in your possession it hunts it for you. it will go out there and bring it to you that’s what Shukr does, it allows what you have to be with you and also be for you more that you don’t have.

5. Making Supplication

also what helps the person memorize Quran online is making dua to Allah subhana wa ta’ala and asking him to increase you in knowledge.
supplicating is from the most powerful weapon the person has by asking Allah subhana wa ta’ala that he gives you the keys and opens your heart to the Quran memorization because the person hasn’t got the ability to get what is with Allah except to please Him SWT.
the Holy Prophet PBUH said that Gabriel came to me, and he blew into my soul, that there is not a person on the face of this earth, except that they’re going to eat the provision that was written for them, then the prophet PBUH said; then perfect how you try to look for your provision since it’s written for you, and then look what the Prophet said because you will not attain that which is with Allah except in a way that pleases him.
So what is it that’s with Allah? the Quran.
You won’t attain what’s with him, except him in a way that pleases him, by begging him and Allah loves subhana WA Ta’ala when his slave humbles himself, lifts his hands up Allah subhana WA Ta’ala, he loves and he will give to him.
So this is what helps memorize the Quran.

6. Revision

Imam Bukhari was once asked, one of his students came up to him and asked him, he said to Buhari; do you know anything any medication that if I take it will help with my memory?
Bukhari was the right person to ask this question to, because his memory was a miracle in the Hifz (memorization),
so he said; No, I don’t know a medication or something a person can take that if they eat, their memory would be good. He said. there’s no particular fruit or food that should be eaten that will bring your memory.
but he said I do know what can help the person’s memory and he said that is two things;
1. A Parson’s drive and will. the fact is that if the person wants this so badly and he’s putting every effort that he has.
2. The second one when the person excessively looks at this thing so much. Which is called “Revision”.
There’s not a person who’s memorized so much, except that he’s beating you with revision. so the person should do that when it comes to the Quran and as you can see the Quran was made for the hearts, the place that the Quran is meant to be in is the heart. when the Quran came down whose heart did he come down on?
It started off on the heart of the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم and the Sahaba the companion where did they memorize Quran from?
Look at the hadith when you read them that they used to say; the Messenger صلى الله عليه وسلم taught us. that the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم used to teach us Istekhara, he taught us it to say the way, he taught us an ayah of the Quran.
The Companions they compared to that, that the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم taught us this thing as he would teach us an ayah from the Quran, so they took it from his mouth.
Abdullah bin Mas’ud he said; I took 70 surahs from the prophet’s صلى الله عليه وسلم directly from his mouth.
Another hadith Surah Qaaf the female narrator she said I memorized surat al-Qaaf because the prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم used to read it in the Khutbah and I memorized it from his mouth, so she went to write it that shows you from the prophet’s صلى الله عليه وسلم heart to her heart to the students of those.
So, that’s how the Quran used to be passed on.
it wasn’t in bookshelves and it wasn’t kept in on the walls and it wasn’t put into a frame.
A lot of people have ayah Kursiy on the what on the wall, but he doesn’t know it.
So the Quran was made for the heart, this is the relationship between the Quran and hearts.
so that’s where it should be in and we should always realize it’s not about a matter of writing it, it’s a matter of trying to memorize the Quran and keep it with us.
May Allah make us from the people of the Quran

“How often has a small force vanquished a large force by the permission of Allah? And Allah is with those who steadfastly persevere.”
[Quran 2:249]

In the third week of July 634, the Muslim army marched from Busra; and the march of this army was an amazing sight-one that would earn the immediate disapproval of any regular, disciplined soldier. It had none of the appearance of a normal army. Its advance was more like the movement of a caravan than the march of a military force.

The soldiers of this army had no uniform of any kind, and there was no similarity in the dress that they wore. The men could wear anything they chose, including captured Persian and Roman robes. There were no badges of rank and no insignia to distinguish the commander from the commanded. In fact there were no officers so far as rank was concerned; officership was an appointment and not a rank. Any Muslim could join this army, and regardless of his tribal status would consider it an honour to serve in the ranks. The man fighting as a simple soldier one day could next day find himself appointed the commander of a regiment, or even a larger force. Officers were appointed to command for the battle or the campaign; and once the operation was concluded, they could well find themselves in the ranks again. The army was organised on the decimal system-a system started by the Holy Prophet at Madinah. 1 There were commanders of 10, 100 and 1,000 men, the latter corresponding to regiments. The grouping of regiments to form larger forces was flexible, varying with the situation.

Even in weapons and equipment there was no standard scale for this army. Men fought with whatever weapons they possessed, and had to find their own weapons either by purchase or by taking them from fallen foes. They could have any or all of the normally used weapons of the time-the lance, the javelin, the spear, the sword, the dagger and the bow. For armour they wore coats of mail and chain helmets. And these could be of any colour or design; in fact many of them had been taken from the Persians and the Romans. Most of the men mounted camels; those who possessed horses formed the cavalry.

One remarkable feature of the movement of this great army was that it was independent of lines of communication. Behind it stretched no line of supply, since it had no logistical base. Its food trotted along with the army; and if it ran out of meat, the men, women and children could live for weeks on a simple ration of dates and water. This army could not be cut off from its supplies, for it had no supply depots. It needed no roads for its movement, for it had no wagons and everything was carried on camels. Thus this army could go anywhere and traverse any terrain so long as there was a path over which men and animals could move. This ease of movement gave the Muslims a tremendous edge on the Romans in mobility and speed.

Although this army moved like a caravan and gave the impression of an undrilled horde, from the point of view of military security it was virtually invulnerable. The advance was led by a mobile advance guard consisting of a regiment or more. Then came the main body of the army, and this was followed by the women and children and the baggage loaded on camels. At the end of the column moved the rear guard. On long marches the horses were led; but if there was any danger of enemy interference on the march, the horses were mounted, and the cavalry thus formed would act either as the advance guard or the rear guard or move wide on a flank, depending on the direction from which the greatest danger threatened. In case of need, the entire army could vanish in an hour or so and be safe at a distance beyond terrain which no other large army could traverse. In this fashion the Muslims marched from Busra.

The route of the army has not been recorded; but it undoubtedly lay north of the Dead Sea, for the army arrived at Ajnadein before the corps of Amr bin Al Aas, who joined the army at Ajnadein. Had the army travelled south of the Dead Sea, Amr bin Al Aas, who was still at the Valley of Araba, would have been picked up en route. The army probably marched via Jarash and Jericho, then by-passed Jerusalem, which was strongly garrisoned by the Romans, and crossed the Judea Hills stretching south of Jerusalem. Beyond this range it descended into the plain of Ajnadein, arriving there on July 24. The following day Amr bin Al Aas, moving up from the Valley of Araba on the orders of Khalid, arrived at Ajnadein, and his joy knew no bounds. He had been in a state of anxiety for several weeks, expecting the Roman storm gathering at Ajnadein to break over his head any day.
