Repetition; the second "natural law of remembering"

One of the largest universities in the world is the Al-Azhar at Cairo. It has thousands of students. The entrance examination requires every applicant to repeat the Koran from memory. The Koran has some many words, so much that it would require three days to recite it.
How is it that these Arabs students can perform these apparently prodigious feat of Memory?

The foregoing article will attempt to give in depth insight into the preceding question and expose us to the remarkable potential that can be wielded by an understanding of the law of repetition.

You can memorize an almost endless amount of material if you will repeat it enough.
Thousand of the Islamic students memories the Koran, they do it largely through the power of repetition. I would re-echo this concept again; "We all can memorize anything within reason if we repeat it often enough".

But there are two facts that is vitally important we bear in mind as you repeat:

1. Do not sit down and repeat a thing over and over until you have it engraved on your memory. Go over it once or twice, then drop it; come back later and go over it again. Repeating at intervals, in that manner, will enable you to memorize a thing in about 50% the time required to do it in one sitting.

2. After we memories a thing we forget add much during the first eight hours at we do during the next thirty days, so go over your notes just few minutes before you rise to make your talk.
