Strengthening One's Memory
Some ways of strengthening one's memory include: Keeping away from sin,
because the bad effects of sin result in a bad memory and the inability
to retain knowledge.
Frequently remembering Allaah, may He be glorified, by reciting dhikr,
tasbeeh (saying ‘Subhan Allaah’), tahmeed (‘Al-hamdu Lillaah’), tahleel
(‘Laa ilaaha ill-Allaah’) and takbeer (‘Allaahu akbar’), etc. Allaah
says (interpretation of the meaning): “…And remember your Lord when you
forget…” [al-Kahf 18:24].
Not eating too much, because eating too much makes one sleep too much
and become lazy, and it dulls the senses, besides exposing one to the
risk of physical diseases. Most of the diseases which we see result from
food and drink.
Some of the scholars have mentioned certain foods which increase the
memory, such as drinking honey and eating raisins and chewing certain
kinds of gum resin.
Another thing that can help the memory and reduce forgetfulness is
cupping (hijaamah) of the head, as is well known from experience. (For
more information see Al-Tibb al-Nabawi by Ibn al-Qayyim). And Allaah
knows best.
