Third task: MEMORIZATION PROCESS

Too much time have passed and wasted, yet I still did not memorize both surah Al-Mulk and Yasin. The problem seems to be centered around me for I lack of focus of what I am doing, in other words CONSISTENCY. Thus, I need to reset my aim by memorizing one surah at a time before proceeding to another surah for I fear mixture of verses between these two surah. Alhamdulillah, seems like it is working 'somehow'.

I started to focus on surah Al-Mulk alone and the result is far more convenient than memorizing both surah (along with Yasin) at the same time. So, from now on I would like to focus on memorizing Al-Mulk first since it is shorter than Yasin. Moreover, while memorizing both surah before, I manage to memorize more verses of Al-Mulk compared to Yasin so why not I just finish it all in one go and start Yasin from scatch! I would rather start Yasin from scratch if I can manage to memorize Al-Mulk rather than not being able to memorize any of the two surahs at all.

Second task: MEMORIZATION STRATEGY

As for the memorization strategy, I would like to use memorization through repetition and rhyming. Since surah Yasin & Al-Mulk contained quite a long verse at certain points, it is easier to memorize it that way rather than memorizing it by understanding its meaning since I lack Arabic knowledge as most of the words used in both surah Yasin & Al-Mulk is not the everyday word I would use in my life.

Repetition is needed since I need to make sure the verses that I memorized earlier is not forgotten or mix with other verses which happened seldom when lack of repetition. My style of repetition is that, I would repeat the same verse about three times for the short verses and ten times for the long one before proceeding to the next verse to ensure I really memorize it. If it does not goes well, then I would not proceed to the next verse until I fully master the previous verses.

The Quran is indeed made in a rhyming manner which makes it easy for the people to memorize it. Most of the verses in both surah Yasin & Al-Mulk are well written with rhythmatic order especially the long verses. Still, I need to use more memorization strategies since this way of memorizing is kind of slow and not very productive yet effective.

First task: CHOOSE YOUR SURAHS

Alhamdulillah, I am very grateful yet full of doubt when I read the instructions provided by our Psychology of Learning lecturer, Dr. Lihanna Borhan to memorize surahs of the Quran which is Surah Yasin (mandatory) and Surah Al-Mulk as part of our learning process which is memorization itself. I have my doubt in memorizing both surahs by the end of the deadline since I have problems in memorizing and maintaining my memorization over time, still I’ll do my best hoping this process of learning might help me improve my memorizing skills better. Last but not least, Dr. Lihanna Borhan, I am very sorry for procrastinating this very important assignment that u gave us. May Allah reward you accordingly for the patience you have for student like me.
