How to Review what you have memorized
“Shaykh Moheb, I can’t do this!” I vented to my Qur’an teacher. He had
put me on a strict daily Qur’an schedule that included review, memorization and
reading. I simply could not find the time to maintain it; I was completing my
Master’s degree, conducting research, and working. I could not keep up.
The Shaykh, in his wisdom, listened to my distress and responded by
sharing a different method with me in which I could memorize and review
simultaneously without feeling overwhelmed.
I have tried numerous methods throughout my years of memorizing.
Sometimes I would stop memorizing for months at a time and only focus on review
(although this always failed when I didn’t have a teacher who could help me
stay on track because I ended up wasting precious months without review or
memorization). Sometimes, I would work on reviewing portions of what I had
already memorized while continuing my memorization. This method, however, was
tedious and would often result in my forgetting what I had reviewed as soon as
I moved onto reviewing something new. Shaykh Moheb offered a different
strategy—the most effective strategy I have experienced so far.
My mom only had one eye
My mom only had one eye. I hated her… She was such an embarrassment. She cooked for students and teachers to support the family.
There was this one day during elementary school where my mom came to say hello to me. I was so embarrassed.
How could she do this to me? I ignored her, threw her a hateful look and ran out. The next day at school one of my classmates said, ‘EEEE, your mom only has one eye!’
The Virtues Jumu'ah
Bismihi Ta'ala
Rasulullah (Sallallaahu ‘alayhi wasallam) said:
“Confer Salaah (Durood) upon me excessively each Friday; the one who confers the most Salaah will be closest to me.”
(Baihaqi)
“Confer Salaah (Durood) increasingly upon me, during the day of Jumu`ah and during the eve of Jumu`ah. Whosoever does so, I will be his witness or I will intercede for him on the Day of Qiyaamah.”
(Baihaqi)
"The one who confers 1000 Durood upon me in one day, he will not die until he is given the glad-tidings of Jannah."
(Kanzul Ummaal)
Benefits & Uses of Black Seed Oil
Abu Hurayrah radiyallahu anhu narrated that Rasulullah .sallallahu alayhi wa sallam said, "Use al-Habbah as-Sawdaa (Black Seed). It is indeed a remedy for all diseases except death." [al-Bukhari]
Cough and Asthma
Apply Black Seed oil to the chest and back. Mix a teaspoon of Black Seed oil in boiling water and inhale the vapor twice a day. Take half a teaspoon of Black Seed oil daily in the morning.
Olive Oil benefits
Since, the Prophet (sallallahu alaiyhi wassallam) stated that it is a good remedy for Anal fissure, hence for the same complaint patients were advised to take two spoonful of olive oil at bedtime and an ointment was applied on fissure locally at retiring and in morning, prepared from 8 spoonfuls of olive oil and 2 spoonfuls of ground henna leaves. This showed very good effects against the problem. It is a good tonic for hair and maintains the luster. Its combination with other prescribed drugs of Tibb-al-Nabwi is a good remedy for Psoriasis and Eczema. The impressions of several doctors practicing in Middle East and North Africa reveal that no case was detected of Gastro Intestinal Carcinoma, among those who were used to consuming olive oil. Japanese doctors also endorse this fact and have the opinion that olive oil prevents the incidence of G.I.T. Carcinoma.
Backstabbing from the front
By
Maulana Khalid Dhorat
I’m from the privileged few who have been sent a copy of the 2015 edition of the Oxford Dictionary for proofreading. Whilst flipping through the pages, I came across some strange words never seen before: “Frenemmy: an enemy who pretends to be a friend;” “Colour Washing: to confuse someone to such an extent that he doesn’t know which girlfriend to visit that day;” and “Front Stabbing: to betray a close friend right under his nose.” The best entry, however, was “Fiety: using your piety and angelic appearance to commit fraud, spread lies, legalise the prohibited and run others down.”
