I was taught that when we memorized the Quran our daily habits n lifestyle will also enhance or decrease our memorization skills.
Little sins like accidentally see kissing scenes n all that may erase our efforts. The first glance is often not charged as sin (but does not mean we can prolong our first glance) …but the second glance n more will.
Also on social media the ads that potrayed sexy looking women n men can also affect our hifz. Games, instagram, tiktok n all the rampant myriad ads chosen for u may affect our hifz.
Just look away n say astaghfirullah. But best not to even turn on the tv or gadgets at all unless its for good like reading the Quran online.
Also when we choose to wake up for tahajjud , we may not be able to . Or we were not given the invitation.
So all 5 senses have to be filtered .Have to be present and aware of what we do daily.
And also, u may begin to notice that often what we think n say may manifest itself easily and effortlessly.
So beware of what word comes out of the mouth. Especially when we are emotional -angry, upset n more. As a mother,
I've known this gift is available to everyone especially mothers. Our words r dua n supplications especially relating to our kids. So speak good words of inspiration, empowerment, positivity and of love.
When angry or upset, its best to calm down first if too overwhelming like rage, take wudhu. Stay silent until we can utter non emotionally charged words.
With this gift being known and made aware that does not give us the right to use it irresponsibly like cursing others to death n more.
Everything has repercussion. Everything we do creates a ripple into the world and beyond.
So what do you want to ripple out ?
Fear or love?
Lack or abundance?
Complain or gratitude?
Think carefully when selecting your choice of words. In the modern spiritual world, law of Attraction (Universe) is a magnet. Whatever we think, say, believed to be true will be magnetised to us.
If u don't believe me, get a book entitled -the secret or the movie itself n read or watch and practise what was suggested. Ive witnessed a male principal of a prominent madrasah instil such steps for students to excel their exams with visualisations and more.
I have also personally magnetised my desired life outcome and goals. With that being said, of course its not all dreaming, wishing, visualizing and feeling but also actions have to be taken to get out of comfort zone and inspirational tasks need be done. And when we have done our bestest, we surrender everything to the Almighty.
This method was the first few that taught me to see the good in everything.
If you are like me, when young, i was taught more about sins, hellfire and punishments than heaven and rewards. Thus i have an idea that God is always watching and punishing. I grew up believing God is sadistic. He gets joy punishing us. Which is not true.
So by reading more of this positivity and self help books, i was able to correct any limitations I had believed and adopted.
And when we gets closer to the Quran, and God, when we do have some form of manifestation ability, do not think that we are special but do take it as a test. And not use it irresponsibly and bully others.
If we ever think we r better than others, we r going the wrong path of ego. So take note of our beliefs and self talk.
Hope these helps.
So we need to sync our habits and lifestyle well with our hifz. Not easy. For me, it was tough. As adults, we use entertainments a lot to wind down after a day of hard work. And now i have to select the best not just let the tv govern or played itself on their own popularity list/program or ads playlist.
Take baby steps.
Have fun in this journey, warriors!
