The Youth Who Prayed Next to Ibn Baaz and what The Shaikh Advised Him With
January 13, 2012 § 1 Comment
Khaalid ibn Abdur-Rahmaan ash-Shaayi’ said, ‘In 1405ah/1984ce, approximately, when I was at secondary school, I prayed next to the Shaikh in a mosque close to his house. So I recited some Quraan while the Shaikh was praying the two rak’ahs one must pray when entering the mosque [tahayyatul-masjid]. After he finished praying he gave me salaam and said, ‘Who are you?’ So I introduced myself to him and what I was studying so he said to me:
‘O my son! Devote your attention to the Quraan. Your voice is pleasant and your recitation is good. Aspire to memorise the Quraan. Set aside for yourself a portion to memorise and revise daily. And see which of your friends can aid you in that.’
Mawaaqif Mudee’ah, p. 214.
Gifts of Knowledge 
Brilliant advice.
If you could translate some methods that the scholars advise for the memorization of the Qur`aan, then that would benefit as well.
JazaakAllaahu khayran.
