Why memorize the Koran ?
A: We memorize the Noble Qur’an, not because we fear it will be lost, not because God promised to preserve it, so God Almighty said, “انا نحن نزلنا الذكر وانا له لحافظون ” So God Almighty promised to preserve it, but we memorize the Qur’an so that it may be an intercessor for us before it is presented to God, and we must know that God has people in this world, and they are the people of God and His special ones, and they are the bearers of the Book of God Almighty, and we must know that God chose servants from His creation and bequeathed to them the Noble Book, because He said, “ثم اورثنا الكتاب الذين اصطفينا من عبادنا” So what greatness is this that you are among those whom God has chosen? And if God has chosen you, so know that He loves you. He does not give His Noble Book except to the one whom He loves, so hasten to memorize the Qur’an. We must know that reciting the Qur’an for us with every letter is good, as the Prophet, may God’s prayers and peace be upon him, said in his noble hadith: “Read the Qur’an, for it will come on the Day of Resurrection as an intercessor for its companions.” And he, may God’s prayers and peace be upon him, said. I do not say “laam” is a letter, but “alif” is a letter, “laam” is a letter, and “mim” is a letter. “So look at this word “laam.” If you read it, you will have three good deeds for it, not just three good deeds, but as God said, “a good deed is multiplied tenfold, and God multiplies it to whomever He wishes, many times over, all for the sake of a word of three letters, which is “M” So what do you think if you read a page of the Holy Qur’an or part of the Holy Qur’an, how many good deeds you gain from your reading? What do you think if you memorize the Qur’an by heart? What a blessing this is and what greatness this is. By God, if you begin to memorize the Qur’an, you will see that all the doors are opened before you, no matter what they are, and know. When you set your foot on the path of the Qur’an, you are one of the people of the Qur’an, who are the people of God and His special ones. God does not give the path of the Qur’an except to those whom He loves. And if you make your children among the memorizers of the Book of God, then you are the winner in this world and the afterlife. You must recite the Qur’an because, as the Prophet, may God’s prayers be upon him, said, “The owner of the Qur’an is a tent of light.” Over his house, the honorable angels will be comforted by it. When the author of the Qur’an dies, the light of the tent goes out, so the angels ask where is the tent of light that was here, so God says to them, “The author of the Qur’an has died. It will come as an intercessor for its companion on the Day of Resurrection.” That is, the Qur’an says, “O Lord, I prevented him from sleeping at night, so grant me intercession for him, and it will intercede for him.” And on the Day of Resurrection, we all know that it is of no use. Wealth and children, except he who comes to God with a sound heart. The Qur’an. O servants of God, how great it is to be cut off from creation for the sake of the Creator. The scholars say, “Whoever wants God to speak to him, let him recite the Qur’an. In it He tells of what came before you, and what is between you, and what comes after you. Whoever judges with it is just, and whoever says it is truthful. Yes, it is.” The word of God, congratulations to whoever continues to read it and memorize it. The Prophet, may God’s prayers and peace be upon him, says, “Memorize, may God preserve you.” So if you memorize the Qur’an, then you have not memorized the Qur’an, rather it is the Qur’an that has preserved you. A psychiatrist says that all segments of society visited me in my clinic, except those who carry the Qur’an. What a great testimony. The one who has something of the Qur’an in his stomach will not suffer from depression or other illnesses that many complain of. And know, may God protect you, that if you begin to recite the Qur’an, the angels will listen to you. God said, “Indeed, the recitation of the dawn will be witnessed,” meaning that the angels will witness it. The house in which the Qur’an is being recited has many of its people. And His blessing increased upon all those in the house. The Qur’an is a cure for all diseases. God said, “وننزل من القرآن ما هو شفاء ورحمة للمؤمنين.” The Qur’an is life. God said, “ومن يعش عن ذكر الرحمن نقيض له شيطان فهو له قرين” That is, he who lives Far from the Qur’an, a devil haunts him, and he never finds rest, but rather finds a distressed life, as God also told us, “ومن أعرض عن ذكري فإن له معيشة ضنكا ونحشره يوم القيامة أعمى.” In this world, the one who is far from the Qur’an will live a distressed life, and on the Day of Resurrection, God will gather him blind. He will not see because he is blind. Regarding the remembrance of God in all its details, from remembrance, praise, praise, and abandoning the Qur’an, God says, “وقال الرسول: يا رب إن قومي قد تركوا هذا القرآن.” So we must stand with ourselves and see whether we are among those who have abandoned the Qur’an or not. If we are among those who have abandoned the Qur’an, we must repent.” And we return to God by constantly reading and memorizing the Qur’an. By the Qur’an, we live a happy life and die with our Lord satisfied with us, God willing. We must learn the Qur’an and the intention is pure for God, in which there is no hypocrisy or reputation, but we sincere the intention for God. If we sincere our intention for God, God will grant us the Qur’an and grant us the ability to read it during the night and during the days. What pleases him with us, God willing. May God make me and you among the people of the Qur’an, Amen
