Alhmadulilah, these past days I've been able to achieve a lot. While these things might not seem like a lot to someone looking from the outside, but for me... knowing myself, they mean a lot.
​
To get straight into why you are reading this email/newsletter "how Allah aided me in memorizing consistently for 30+ days."
​
I can't say nor do I like to say "x number of things helped me", so I'll just mentioned what I did.
​
First thing: reduced the portion of what I was memorizing per/day. This is the easiest said, but the hardest thing in doing. why? Because you have an ego.
​
An ego that won't let you do it and will inform you that you are better/bigger than this portion. But whatever this ego is telling you isn't for your benefit. Had it had been for your benefit it would have helped you in being consistent in your "ego level portion" but it didn't, and here you are.
​
I was memorizing half/page a day... inconsistently. I reduced it to 3 lines.
​
Next thing I did was impose and made it compulsory on myself a rule/principle. I can not eat nor can I do work until I finish memorizing.
​
Seems easy, but works beautifully... if you do it. why does it work? because you like food.
​
The next thing I did was have a timer, once that timer goes off, I finish or I do not finish, in my book and officially for that day: I HAVE MEMORIZED MY PORTION.
​
And thats it.
​
Lastly, which is firstly, middle, and lastly: DUA!
