Question
Reference number: 152232 | Qur’an and Interpretation | Oct. 27, 2022
I suffer from a poor memory, and I joined an online class where we recite the Holy Qur’anic verses by heart via Zoom. Sometimes I forget a verse, so I have a look on the Script. What is the ruling in this?
Answer
Praise Be to Allah and Peace Be Upon His Messenger.
Initially, I pray to Allah to support you and help you achieve your great goal of memorizing the Holy Qur’an.
So many people suffer from a poor memory, but you have to overcome this challenge by good preparation. You can talk to the teacher and ask for her help. What you do is considered cheating regardless of the cause (fear or less confidence). Prepare well and ask your close friends and family to listen to you before the exam. Thus, it is not allowed at all to look at the script while reciting by heart.
