Bismillah One of the struggles that I've faced during my journey of memorising the Quran is not memorising itself, but rather retaining the verses memorised. I guess those who are going through the same thing will be able to relate as well. I feel the problem stems...
Assalamu alaykum, I hope that your week was blessed with plenty of Quran time: revision, and the learning of new verses - if that is part of your learning goals. Short-term memory loss can be a serious issue, and it’s not always easy to determine the exact...
