Rewards of Quran memorization and techniques

There is a trouble that many people suffer from these days. They often feel lonely and cannot find an honest friend who stays by their sides and entertains their souls in difficult times. But the Qur’an, Allah’s (SWT) words, is always there to comfort us no matter how bad we feel. It is a considerable matter to keep your relationship with the Qur’an good and try to improve it and know more about it as long as you are alive since the Qur’an relieves your heart. It is better than whatever you are exerting effort to get, such as worldly possessions and wealth. We should be delighted about this mercy as this is Allah’s grace for all of us. Allah SWT says,

“Say, ˹O Prophet,˺ “In Allah’s grace and mercy let them rejoice. That is far better than whatever ˹wealth˺ they amass”.”

Surah Yunus

The best way to rejoice in this favor is to thank Allah for it by taking care of it and memorizing its words in our hearts. The true meaning of ‘memorization’ linguistically is to remember anything exactly and learn it by heart but when it comes to memorizing the holy Qur’an, it extends the limit of memorizing its holy words only and also includes the understanding of its meanings and the applications of It. As Allah SWT says,

“But this ˹Quran˺ is ˹a set of˺ clear revelations ˹preserved˺ in the hearts of those gifted with knowledge”

Surah Al-‘Ankabut

What is the reward of Quran memorizing?

It’s necessary to keep in our mind the rewards of memorizing the Quran to remind us of our intention and the reason why we do this. Also for encouraging us whenever we face problems or experience times we lack concern in our path. Two of them are:

1. Become one of the nearest people to Allah.

The Prophet Muhammad PBUH says,

‘Allah has His own people among mankind.’ They said: ‘O Messenger of Allah, who are they?’ He said: ‘The people of the Qur’an, the people of Allah and those who are closest to Him.

Hadith

Who doesn’t want to be one of the nearest people to God? This path will only be eased for those who are sincere to God and do not do all that to be known among people and did their best to apply what they have memorized and they will be incredibly honored that Allah SWT made those honest people close to Him.

2. Your parents will be crowned.

As the Messenger of Allah, PBUH said,

“If anyone recites the Qur’an and acts according to its contents, on the day of resurrection his parents will be given to wear a crown whose light is better than the light of the sun in the dwellings of this world if it were among you. So what do you think of him who acts according to this?”

Sunnah

“ The example of those who were entrusted with ˹observing˺ the Torah but failed to do so, is that of a donkey carrying books”.

Surah Al-Jumu’ah

Some people go for listening to the same Surah repeatedly. Some people like to write it many times on paper. Some other people can mix two or three techniques. It is all up to you, only pay attention and apply.

Conclusion

In conclusion, the Messenger of Allah PBUH said,

“Indeed, the one who does not have the Qur’an inside him (his heart), is like the ruined house.”

Sunnah

All the feelings of emptiness, grief, and fear that one may feel are because of the lack of the Qur’an inside one’s heart. That’s natural because Allah is the one who created us and knows what is suitable for us in the tough moments we experience, so it is a mercy from Allah SWT in which we should all invest. Allah says,

“We have not revealed the Quran to you ˹O Prophet˺ to cause you distress,”

Surah Taha

 He SWT had also facilitated the Quran for us. He SWT says,

“And We have certainly made the Quran easy to remember. So is there anyone who will be mindful?”   

Surah Al-Qamar
