Curing Forgetfulness

Translated by Talut ibn Sulaiman Dawood.

This compilation of two treatises, al-Kashf wa al-Bayān fī mā Yataʿallaq bi al-Nisyān & ʿIlāj al-Nisyān, one from the classical era and one from the 20th century, contain both conceptual discussion and practical advice on how to address the universal issue of overcoming forgetfulness and strengthening memory.

Although focused on a very specific topic, the benefits of this text are numerous and comprehensive since memory and cognitive retention affect so many aspects of our lives. Thus, even if one implements only a few of its recommendations, this is a book that is sure to prove useful and bring long term blessings to one’s life.
