Increasing Memory, Focus, and Concentration

A: Here are a couple of brief tips: 1. Guard your gaze and your ears. There can be nothing more distracting than television, a wrong glance, or a tune that won’t go away.2. Recite after every salat the masnun du’as. In addition, recite “Ya Qawiyy” eleven times after every salat, or recite this du’a seven times: “ Allahumma Nawwir Qalbi bi ‘ilmika wasta’mil badani bi ta’atika”
Recite this same du’a seven times before opening up a book to read or study as well. Also, you can recite “ Sanuqri’uka fala tansa”
three times after every salat.
3. When you sit down to study, minimize any nearby distractions. Also, in order to maximize your usage of time, keep a book unrelated to what you are studying nearby and whenever you tire of studying, distract yourself with a book on another subject to refresh the mind. Sometimes it is good to get up and stretch. 4. Memorizing is easiest when done with someone else. Memorizing alone can be difficult and takes much longer. Having someone quiz you can cut memorization time to at least one third. – Shaykh Bilal Ali Ansari _________________ Similar questions posed to Mufti Nawaal ur‑Rahman (DB) [of Darul Uloom Chicago and ShariahBoard]: Q: Is there any dua / zikar for good memory & speech?

inclination towards studies will become stronger. If you use your will then your determination and persistence will help you to concentrate your mind on your studies. In fact, whether you are interested in studies or not should not be so important. Your will to work hard by keeping your goals in mind, should be your priority. In addition, recite Surah “ Fateha”, 41 times after Fajar ‘namaz’ and pray to Allah (SWT) for achievement of your objectives. Insha‑Allah this will be very beneficial to you. (2) While offering “namaz” you should not recite anything during “ Sajda”. After completion of the “namaz”, sometimes, you can supplicate, recite, or ask a “ dua” by offering “ Sajda”. But you should not make this a habit. Allah (Subhana Wa Ta’ala) Knows Best Mufti Naval‑ur‑Rahman Miftahi

Reply 2 zeba on February 10, 2010 said: Salam, Trust Allah fully. Know that it is satan that tries to deviate the servants of Allah by making them weak and distracting them from their goals. But be sure that he can cause no harm and that faith in the Lord will help you come out of all the problems successfully. Whenever you lack concentration, know that the devil is aacking you. Don’t worry. Immediately read “I seek refuge of Allah from the cursed satan”. Read it several times and read Bismillah. Strive to focus on your studies. Remember that when you are studing then it is a form of superior worship and it makes shaitan in trouble. And so you may experience bier thoughts. It is shaitan. If you are alert then it will be solved. Trust Allah completely. May Allah bless you and the whole of humanity. Ameen.
