Remedying Weak Memory — Surah Yasin

For which problem: Forgetfulness, not remembering what you have studied

⚠ Read with caution — the method of this amal contains an element that can create a risk to one's creed. Be sure to read the note below.

Method

1. Mix saffron into rose water.
2. Write Surah Yasin on paper while in a state of wudu.
3. Dissolve the writing in the rose water and drink it.
4. (If saffron is not available, jarda colouring may also be used — see the note in the original book.)

Duration: Forty-one days

The Raqi's Note

This method says to write verses (ayah) of the Qur'an, wash or dissolve the writing, and drink it. A group of scholars, including Imam Ibn al-Qayyim and Imam Ibn Taymiyyah, have said it is permissible (because the drinking is done with the intention of barakah, and what is written is the very word of Allah). Another group of scholars have said it is disliked — because this practice is not established from the Messenger of Allah ﷺ or from the Companions, and washing off the writing of the Qur'an carries the risk of disrespecting the Word.

The real risk lies not in the method but in the belief: if someone thinks that paper, ink, or water has power of its own, that is an error in creed. Shifa is given by Allah alone; the verses are only a means.

An additional caution: The original book mentions “jarda colouring” as an alternative. Jarda colours sold in the market are often industrial dyes, not safe for food. In Bangladesh, lead has been found in such colours — which itself damages memory. Do not drink it.

A Safe Alternative

• With the same intention, recite the Surah directly over water and blow over it, then drink it — this directly matches the Sunnah of the Prophet ﷺ in performing blowing, and there is no difference of opinion about it.
• The Sunnah-based path for memory: avoiding sins (the famous advice of Imam Shafi'i, may Allah have mercy on him), sufficient sleep, regular repetition, and “Rabbi zidni 'ilma” (Surah Ta-Ha 114).

The Book This Amal Comes From

The Marvel of Surah Yasin — the heart of the Qur'an — its virtues, stories, and 26 tested amals

Surah Yasin is recited in homes everywhere. But which amal is in the hadith, and which has a method that carries a risk to one's creed — nobody tells you that.

• 26 amals — arranged by problem, with step-by-step methods
• 13 accounts of virtues, each with its source
• 15 true stories — from the original book
• Common amals whose very method goes against the Shariah — and why they were left out

A Bangla adaptation of the original Urdu book “Yasin ka Karishma” — arranged problem by problem, with a note from a professional raqi beside every amal (practice). Common amals whose very method conflicts with the Shariah have not been included — and why they were not included is also stated in the book itself.

Hadiya only 100 taka (previously 250 taka). Read the first 8 pages free, then decide.
