THREAD: Here's a few #Seerah books and related works that I would recommend you all to read!
1) The Sealed Nectar by Safiur Rahman Mubarakpuri - pretty detailed and is a great all-round book. For a more concise version refer to When The Moon Split by the same author.
2) Prophet of Mercy by Abul Hasan 'Ali Nadwi - great contemporary work which touches on different aspects of history too.
3) Muhammad: Man and Prophet by Adil Salahi - another relevant and contemporary work which gives one a detailed insight into the Seerah.
Would also recommended Muhammad: His Character and Conduct by Adil Salahi.
4) In the Footsteps of the Prophet by Tariq Ramadan - an enjoyable read focusing on spiritual teachings from the Seerah and the Prophet's personality.
5) Other books I'd recommend: Muhammad: His Life Based on the Earliest Sources by Martin Lings and Fiqh Us Seerah by Muhammad Ghazali.
6) ALSO you should definitely check out Al Shama'il Al Muhammadiyya to learn more about the physical features & beauty of our Beloved.

THREAD: Top tips on memorising on the Qur'an this Ramadan and beyond.
Alhamdulillah almost 12 years ago I was blessed to have completed my memorisation (hifdh) of the Qur'an and here are a few things that helped me...
1) My personal technique was just to read the portion I wanted to memorise repetitively the night before (not attempting to memorise), then wake up in the morning to memorise it. The key here is first you familiarise yourself with it, then you memorise. Don't rush the hifdh part.
2) The best time for memorisation is the morning time. By the afternoon/evening, your brain is fried and you're mentally & physically tired. Plus our Prophet PBUH made du'a to Allah to bless the early mornings of his ummah (Abu Dawud) so you can't miss the barakah!
