The answer

The difficulty in reading and memorizing the Quran may stem from a lack of habituation to reading and consistent practice, distance from classical Arabic, and a lack of habituation to memorization.

To overcome this, it is recommended to seek Allah's help, not despair, and regularly attend a Quran memorization circle under the guidance of a skilled and proficient sheikh. When memorizing, it is advised to take a small portion and repeat it frequently to solidify it.

The author of Al-Jazariyyah said: "And there is nothing between it and abandoning it except a person's training of his jaw." And Allah Almighty said: "And We have certainly made the Quran easy for remembrance, so is there any who will remember?" (Al-Qamar: 17). Ibn Kathir interpreted this as making its wording and meaning easy for remembrance.
