How can one improve their memory?

Assalaamu alaykum

The following words were attributed to al-Shâfi‘î, may Allâh have mercy on him:

“I complained to [my shaykh] Wakî’ about my bad memory, and he taught me that I should keep away from sin. He said that knowledge of Allâh is light, and the light of Allâh is not given to the sinner.”

Al-Khatîb reported in al-Jâmi‘ (2/387) that Yahya ibn Yahya said:

“A man asked Mâlik ibn Anas, ‘O Abu ‘Abd-Allâh! Is there anything that will improve my memory?’ He said, ‘If anything will improve it, it is giving up sin.’”

How to Strengthen the Memory

Get enough sleep (8 hours adults, 9 hours teens, 9 to 10 hours adolescents) get some exercise most days, at least 1/2 hour get good quality sleep - if dogs are barking in the night, or a nearby airport keeps you up, play soft music all night to block out the sound. If you suspect a sleep disorder, then google sleep hygeine and sleep disorders & get more info on this. Don't multitask. Research proves our brains handle one thing at a time best. If we do 2 things at once, we don't perform very well. Pay attention. Many times, we don't form a memory to begin with. Use flash cards and crib sheets if you are in school. If you are in school, write formulae, names, dates, etc on the inside front cover of your exam booklet as soon as you get it, if you are worried you will forget those things under pressure, or have a poor memory. When you meet someone new, use their name a couple times while you talk to them, to get it into your head. Form an association, like if you meet someone named michael, think of michael phelps and olympic swimming. This can help a lot. I still have trouble, becuase I have bipolar disorder & that messes up memory, so as soon as I get away, I write their name down. Or, ask for a business card. In a sit down meeting, write their names down right away on your notepad. Study and memorize the name later & remind yourself a few times until you have it down cold.

ask your doctor 1st

then check your blood pressure, may little blood reach your brain

every day do something, any thing even house work

fresh air in your bedroom, sitting room, in the house

check for CO/ carbon monoxide in your house,

if all ok, then

check your brain done in the hospital

in the last:

open your hand/palm, read fatihah on them then wipe your head and body

food - dates, figs

After Salat keep your head down to remove the negative energy in sajoud.

Keep your head down till your mind is clear then go read the Quran or do whatever it was you wanted that memory for.

If you don't remove the negative energy from your brain then the positive energy will not enter.

it becomes deadlock.
