Answer:
Memorize Quran
In the name of Allah, We praise Him, seek His help and ask
for His forgiveness. Whoever Allah guides none can misguide, and whoever
He allows to fall astray, none can guide them aright. We bear witness that
there is no one (no idol, no person, no
grave, no prophet, no imam, no dai,
nobody!) worthy of worship but Allah Alone, and we bear witness that
Muhammad (saws) is His slave-servant and the seal of His Messengers.
It is not humanly possible to list all the virtues of
memorizing the very Words of the Lord Most High Who Created; for Allah is our
witness, the very word and term ‘virtue’ is too narrow and too limited to
accommodate all the benefits of one who is blessed to memorize verbatim and
secure in his memory the very Words of Allah Subhanah, the Lord and Creator of
everything that exits in existence!
What we can do for you here is quote a select few of the
authentic narrations of the Messenger of Allah (saws) on the subject of learning
the Glorious Quran….perhaps it may shed some light upon the innumerable and
incalculable virtues of memorizing the very Words of the Lord Who Created…..
Sahih Al-Bukhari Hadith 6.545 Narrated by Uthman
The Prophet (saws) said, "The best among
you (Muslims) are those who learn the Qur'an and teach it."
Al-Tirmidhi Hadith 2137 Narrated by Abdullah ibn Mas'ud
Allah's Messenger (saws) said, "If
anyone recites a letter from Allah's Book he will be credited with a good deed,
and a good deed gets a tenfold reward. I do not say that 'Alif-Lam-Mim' are one
letter, but 'Alif' is a letter, 'Lam' is a letter. and 'Mim' is a letter."
Sahih Al-Bukhari Hadith 6.459 Narrated by Aisha
The Prophet (saws) said, "Such a person
as recites the Qur'an and masters it by heart, will be with the noble righteous
scribes (in
Sunan of Abu-Dawood Hadith 1448 Narrated by Mu'adh al-Juhani
The Prophet (saws) said: ‘If anyone recites
the Qur'an and acts according to its contents, on the Day of Judgment 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?’
Whatever written of Truth and benefit is only due to
Allah’s Assistance and Guidance, and whatever of error is of me alone. Allah Alone Knows Best and He is the Only
Source of Strength.
