ABSTRACT
Human is in dire need of memory to function in the activities of daily life. It is the storage of information or experience over time consisting of sounds, images and meaning. From a cognitive perspective, the term memory refers to different forms of acquiring, storing and accessing information and experience. The contents of memory are an interaction between the individual, the cognitive process and the environment. There are two types of memory: Explicit memory and implicit memory. There are three general types of implicit memory: Procedural memory, classical conditioning effects and priming. There are three distinct memory storage resources: Sensory memory, short-term memory (STM) and long-term memory (LTM). Sensory memory refers to the information we receive through the senses; it is briefly stored sensory information (a few seconds). The information we process, modify, interpret and store in STM is known as working memory. The capacity of long-term memory is large and it has the capability of storing a massive number of objects with details from the image. The different stages of memory: Encoding, storage and retrieval. There are four major reasons for forgetting: Retrieval failure, interference, failure to store and motivated forgetting. The memorisation of the Qur’an by Muslims is a tradition dating back to the time of Prophet Muhammad (https://s3-euw1-ap-pe-df-pch-content-public-p.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/9780429354762/7fb59413-c59c-4354-a39b-75035eb649db/content/inline1_1_B.tif" xmlns:xlink="https://www.w3.org/1999/xlink"/>) to preserve the authenticity of the contents of the Qur’an. The stages of the memorisation of the Qur’an entail encoding, storing and retrieving the text when required. These involve rehearsing, practicing and reciting the text of the Qur’an.
The sound of the Qur’an can significantly play a role in reducing the amount of anxiety, improving mental health, pain intensity, patients’ health, the signs and physiological function of different tissues of the body, the immune system and patients’ levels of satisfaction.
