Memorization in Prayer — Using Worship for Review
إِنَّ نَاشِئَةَ ٱلَّيۡلِ هِيَ أَشَدُّ وَطۡـٗا وَأَقۡوَمُ قِيلٗا
— المزمل الآية 6
Prayer as the best review arena:
Reviewing in prayer is more stabilizing — adding spiritual and physical dimensions (complete focus).
Using the five prayers: Fajr: today's new verses; Dhuhr: yesterday's review; Asr: week's review; Maghrib: short memorized surahs; Isha: a deeply established memorized surah.
Tahajjud and Tarawih: Best prayer for memorization — night silence deepens both memorization and reflection.
