There is no specific punishment in Islam for forgetting the Quran after memorizing it. However, forgetting parts of the Quran after memorizing it is a common experience.
Here are some factors that can contribute to forgetting:
- Lack of consistent review: Regular review and recitation are crucial to retain memorized material.
- Distractions and busy schedules: Life's demands can make it difficult to dedicate time to reciting the Quran.
