Memorization is repetition. Human being needs memory for
recording. Memory is necessary for any kind of mental
activity and men’s ability to maintain and retrieve
information is called memory. We can say: “Man’s real need
of implanting the Quran in his memory. Mornings are the
best time for learning and memorization: if these times
are as close as possible to the time of the morning
prayers or before dawn, It will be more effective on the
mind’s process. More importantly, this prayer of the
Prophet will not affect the hafiz when the prophet says to
Allah “Oh, Lord! Yes, they are my people who kept the holy
Quran obsolete.”
The
best position is .to sit towards the Qibla (direction of
the holy Ka’aba, in Mecca): Imam Sadiq (P.B.U.H.) says
about The Prophet of Islam (P.B.U.H.): most of the time
the prophet set towards the qibla he also said, The
recitor of the Quran needs three things: a heart that is
humble and attentive, a body and soul that are disengaged
and undisturbed, and a place that is calm and not crowded
and to be ritually pure by performing the ritual ablution.
Allah speaks several times about pondering over and
understanding the Divine verse in the holy Quran. One of
these verse is verse 29 of sura Sad: “(This is ) a
scripture that We have revealed unto thee, full of
blessing, that they may ponder its revelations, and that
men of understanding may reflect.” Imam Ali (P.B.U.H.)
says:” Be aware that there is no benefit in reading the
Quran if you do not ponder over its verses and do not
understand them.” Purification is much emphasized and that
the great scholars of the past were always in a state of
ritual ablution and having the intention to please Allah.
“…And whosoever is
careful of his duty to Allah, He will make for him an
outlet.”(65:2) And no path or outlet is better than
that of the people of the House, people who are highly
honored by Allah. |
