How to Memorize the Qur’an and Not Forget it!

How to Memorize the Qur’an and Not Forget it!
Ramadan Mubarak to everyone! I hope your fasts and prayers are accepted by The Almighty. I feel there can't be a better time for this post than in Ramadan. This is the method I used to memorize in Qur'an back in hifdh school. I used this technique to memorize the Qur'an, alḥamdulillāh. And until now, I feel it's the reason I've been leading tarāwīḥ for close to five years now, alḥamdulillāh.
Memorizing Qur'an
It's important to understand that this process is broken into 3 categories:
1) new lesson,
2) new memorization,
3) old memorization.

I'll give a brief intro to each category and then show you how to properly memorize within each fold. It's important to understand that memorizing Qur'an for the long-term is a process which takes close to a month. Once you memorize an āyah, it won't be solid until you repeat it a number of times until it enters the deeper part of your brain.

New Lesson
This is where you will be memorizing from scratch. If you are serious about memorizing, you'll need to follow these tips exactly as they are written below.
1)    Read the page 10 times while looking in from the top.
2)    Read the first āyah on the page 10 times while looking in.
3)    Now read the same verse 10 times without looking at it, until you can recite it without any mistakes.
4)    Begin connecting the ayahs. Recite the first and second āyah together without looking in and without mistakes.
5)    Keep connecting the ayaat on the page. Each time you connect a new āyah, go back to the top of the page and read till the āyah you've memorized.
6)    When you reach the last āyah, you should recite the whole page from the top without looking and without any mistakes.
7)    Recite the page from memory to someone. You should have zero mistakes.
8)    You can repeat the above steps as needed to have a perfect page memorized.

New Memorization
This is the amount of Qur'an which you've memorized in the last 30 days. Take this part seriously, it'll determine if the ayaat you memorized will be solid for your life or not. (Retaining/reviewing Qurʾān is a 25 day process. After those 25 days, reviewing once a month will suffice. This will lead to the 'old memorization' which we'll speak about).
1)    Whatever you review in this section, you MUST recite it to someone who has either memorized the ayaat or is well-versed in reading the Qur'an.
2)    If you've memorized five pages in the last five days, you must recite them to yourself until you don't make any errors. Then go recite it to a teacher.
3)    From this point on, whatever you memorize, it MUST be read daily. When I say read, it means reviewed to yourself without mistakes AND recited to someone else.
4)    If for some reason you didn't review your 'new memorization' for the day, then don't memorize new ayaat. You're pouring water into a cup w/ a hole. Each day you don't review the 'new memorization,' you're making the hole in your cup bigger and bigger until you won't remember anything! (If you did not review a page for seven days consecutively, go back to the 'new lesson' and re-memorize the page).
5)    I sound somewhat redundant here, because I can't lay anymore importance on how much you need to review the 'new memorization.' It'll make/break your hifdh.
6)    If you memorize a page a day, you'll finish a juz in 20 days. After these twenty days, take five extra days to review the whole juz with someone proficient.
7)    The juz you've memorized will now be considered part of your 'old memorization.'

Old Memorization
This is anything you've reviewed for at least twenty-five days consecutively. The amount you review depends on how much Qur'an you've memorized. Once you've memorized the Qur'an (which I pray is soon for all of you seeking to memorize it), new lessons and new memorizations will come to a halt, and you'll be left with the old memorization. This will continue for the left of our lives till death does us part.
1)    Daily review
1.     Between 1-3 juz, you should review five pages daily.
2.     Between 4-7 juz you should review 10 pages (which equals half the juz) daily.
3.     Between 7-15 juz, you should review 20 pages (which equals one juz) daily.
4.     Between 15-20 juz, you should review 30 pages(which equals 1.5 juz) daily.
5.     Between 20-30 juz, you should review 60 pages (which equals 2 juz) daily.
2)    Read the juz to yourself then recite to a teacher/hafidh.
This process will continue for the rest of your life.
3)    In the 'old memorization,' you should not get more than four mistakes, or four stutters in a juz.
A mistake classifies as reading something incorrectly and not being able to correct it. A stutter classifies reading something incorrectly, being sent back a few ayahs to correct it, and finally reading it correctly. At the same time, you should be make more than one mistake or one stutter for every five pages you read.

Concluding remarks
·        When I found a verse to be hard, I would look into the mushaf and write it somewhere. At times I would also listen to recitations to ease the memorization for me (I recommend Sh. Husary). Sometimes looking in and repeating it won't make the verse stick, so do whatever it takes to memorize it!
·        If you falter somewhat in the old memorization, it's ok. Just don't miss two to three days at once. Reading Qur'an is a lifetime endeavor.
·        Reviewing is more important than memorizing.
·        Focus on perfecting your 'new lesson' and 'new memorization.'
·        If you feel some part isn't strong, give preference to reviewing that part rather than memorizing something new.
·        Read something EVERYDAY. Not only should we do this as students of hifdh, but it should be our habit as Muslims. I'm saying, don't say “I've memorized an x amount of Qur'an today, so no need to read and reflect.” Take out some time to read and reflect on a few verses daily.

This is the optimal method which I found easy for myself to memorize. It was formulated in my fourteen-year-old mind as a Qur'an student who found it hard to memorize Allāh's book. I asked Allāh's help, and I feel this method was his answer.
I hope Allāh facilitates the memorization of His book for you all, and blesses you with a positively unforgettable Ramadan where you achieve all the goals of your lives.

First Aid utk org stroke

dipetik dari blog The Paranormal Life...kaedah yg mungkin berguna di waktu kecemasan...

RAWATAN KECEMASAN ANGIN AHMAR/STROKE
Aku terhutang budi pada kau sebab apa yang kau ajar pada aku telah berjaya menyelamatkan ayah aku daripada ajal, bro"
Itu ayat yang diucapkan oleh sahabat lama saya, Ikhwan Rosli, 24 tahun sewaktu dia memeluk saya dengan erat semalam. Rata rata orang ramai di kedai makan semalam memandang perlakuan kami seperti pelik.

"Woi kau ni, nanti orang ingat kita gay!"

"Oh, sorry bro." Katanya sambil tersengih.

Ikhwan menceritakan pengalamannya yang berlaku setahun yang lepas apabila ayahnya diserang angin ahmar (di dalam bahasa Inggeris ianya dipanggil sebagai 'stroke'). 

"Masa kejadian tu berlaku, aku tengah makan malam dengan keluarga dirumah. Tiba tiba ayah aku collapse dan mulutnya dah senget. Dia bercakap pun dah tak betul."

Sambil mendengar dia bercerita, saya mengisi paip saya dengan tembakau jenama Domingo's. Makin berusia, makin pelik benda yang diminati.

"Masa tu aku agak gelabah jugak la bro walaupun pernah berlaku dulu. Tapi aku terus ingat benda yang kau pernah ajar aku dulu. Lepas aku buat, dia sedarkan diri 10 minit kemudian sebelum aku hantar dia ke hospital. Keesokannya hospital bagi dia kebenaran untuk balik rumah". 

Sambungnya lagi: "Yang bestnya bro, doktor Hospital Pantai tu tanya aku mana aku belajar rawatan tu. Katanya, kalau aku tak buat rawatan kecemasan tu masa peringkat awal, harapan untuk ayah aku survive memang tipis, bro."

Terdetik di hati untuk berkongsi kepada semua mengenai cara rawatan ini. Saya dulu mempelajari teknik rawatan tradisional Cina ini daripada seorang sensei. Caranya amat mudah sekali dan berguna kepada sesiapa yang mempunyai ahli keluarga atau sahabat yang menghidap penyakit stroke / angin ahmar.

R̲a̲w̲a̲t̲a̲n̲ ̲K̲e̲c̲e̲m̲a̲s̲a̲n̲ ̲S̲t̲r̲o̲k̲e̲ ̲1̲0̲1̲

Barangan diperlukan: 

Beberapa batang jarum. Seperti jarum menjahit.

Caranya:

- Pastikan pesakit berada didalam posisi duduk. Jangan dijatuhkan atau dibaringkan kerana khuatir kapilari darah di kepala pesakit pecah.

- Jangan menggerakkan pesakit kemana mana tempat lain. Misalnya, jikalau pesakit rebah di tandas, lakukannya di situ. Pergerakan badan boleh menyebabkan kapilari darah di otak pecah.

- Sterilkan jarum yang ada dengan api sebelum bermula untuk menghindarkan jangkitan kuman.

- Jarum yang telah disterilkan itu, cucuk setiap jari jemari pesakit sedalam 1mm sehingga mengeluarkan beberapa titisan darah. Jikalau tidak keluar, picit jarinya sehingga darah keluar. Cucuk seperti akupunktur.

- Jikalau berlaku perubahan bentuk mulut pada pesakit, tarik kedua - dua telinganya sehingga merah. Kemudian cucuk cuping telinganya sehingga keluar lebih kurang dua titisan darah.

- Selepas beberapa minit, pesakit akan mula sedarkan diri. Berikan dia rehat seketika dan berilah dia minum teh sebelum dibawa ke hospital untuk rawatan susulan.

Penyakit angin ahmar / stroke merupakan antara penyebab utama kematian di negara ini. Majoriti tidak mengetahui cara - cara untuk mengendalikan pesakit apabila situasi seperti ini berlaku. Selalunya apabila ambulans sampai, banyak pergerakan akan berlaku dan masa akan dibazirkan untuk menunggu ambulans sampai sebelum rawatan dapat diberikan.

Diharap kaedah rawatan ini dapat dihebahkan kepada orang ramai agar dapat kita ingat dan praktikkan. Semoga dapat kita selamatkan orang yang tersayang dan mereka yang memerlukan bantuan.

Sepertimana Ikhwan dapat menyelamatkan ayahnya tempoh hari

Subhaanaka Allaahumma wa bihamdika, wa tabaarakasmuka, wa ta'aalaa jadduka, wa laa 'ilaaha ghayruk

Glory is to You O Allah, and praise. Blessed is Your Name and Exalted is Your Majesty. There is none worthy of worship but You.

family interactions with young adults’ psychological distress and well-being. A

Daily family interactions among young adults in the United States from Latin American, Filipino, East Asian, and European backgrounds

Abstract

In contrast to the abundant research on family relationships during adolescence, the nature of family interactions during young adulthood remains comparatively unexamined. The current study explored ethnic differences in young adults’ interactions with parents and siblings, the role of other activities in young adults’ family interactions, and the association of family interactions with young adults’ psychological distress and well-being. A total of 220 young adults (Mage = 25.5 years) from Latin American, East Asian, Filipino, and European backgrounds in the United States reported their family interactions, daily activities, and psychological distress and well-being using daily diaries for 14 days. As expected, time spent in work, school, and other relationships was found to conflict with time spent being with, and helping, family members. Leisure time and conflict with parents and siblings had significance for psychological distress and well-being. Other findings suggested a potentially higher level of family importance and connectedness among young adults from Filipino backgrounds as compared to their peers.

Uninvolved parenting

http://psychology.about.com/od/childcare/f/uninvolved-parenting.htm

Question: What Is Uninvolved Parenting?
Answer:
During the 1960s, psychologist Diana Baumrind described three different parenting styles based on her researche with preschool-age children: authoritarian, authoritative and permissive parenting. In later years, researchers added a fourth style known as uninvolved parenting.
Uninvolved parenting, sometimes referred to as neglectful parenting, is a style characterized by a lack of responsiveness to a child's needs. Uninvolved parents make few to no demands of their children and they are often indifferent, dismissive or even completely neglectful.
These parents have little emotional involvement with their kids. While they provide for basic needs like food and shelter, they are uninvolved in their children's lives. The degree of involvement may vary considerably. Some uninvolved parents may be relatively hands-off with their kids, but may still have some basic limits such as curfews. Others may be downright neglectful or even reject their children outright.

Characteristics of the Uninvolved Parenting Style

Uninvolved parents:
  • Are emotionally distant from their children

  • Offer little or no supervision

  • Show little warmth, love and affection towards their children

  • Have few or no expectations or demands for behavior

  • Don't attend school events and parent-teacher conferences

  • May intentionally avoid their children

  • Are often too overwhelmed by their own problems to deal with their children

The Effects of Uninvolved Parenting

Children raised by uninvolved parents:
  • Must learn to provide for themselves

  • Fear becoming dependent on other people

  • Are often emotionally withdrawn

  • Tend to exhibit more delinquency during adolescence

  • Feel fear, anxiety or stress due to the lack of family support

  • Have an increased risk of substance abuse

Understanding Uninvolved Parenting

Researchers associate parenting styles with a range of child outcomes in areas such as social skills and academic performance. The children of uninvolved parents generally perform poorly in nearly every area of life. These children tend to display deficits in cognition, attachment, emotional skills and social skills.
Due to the lack of emotional responsiveness and love from their caretakers, children raised by uninvolved parents may have difficulty forming attachments later in life. The complete lack of boundaries in the home makes it difficult to learn appropriate behaviors and limits in school and other social situations, which is why children with uninvolved parents are more likely to misbehave.
Parents who exhibit an uninvolved parenting style were often themselves raised by uninvolved and dismissive parents. As adults, they may find themselves repeating the same patterns they were raised with. Other parents who display this style may simply be so caught up in their busy lives that they find it easier to take a hands-off approach to dealing with their children.
In some cases, parents may be so wrapped up in their own problems (i.e., being overworked, coping with depression, struggling with substance abuse) that they actually fail to see how uninvolved they are with their children or are simply unable to provide the emotional support their children need.
