Someone who reads the Quran not just as a book but for guidance and implementation in life performs the most rewarding act of Islam. It’s reported that the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) said, “The best among you are those who learn the Quran and teach it.” [Bukhari]

For every single letter recited, there is an immense reward, and on the day of judgment, Hafiz will get a special honor. As narrated in Hadith, whoever memorizes the Quran will wear a crown of light, and their parents will also be rewarded for their child’s devotion.

It helps you observe Taqwa and live a more mindful life.

If you plan to memorize the Quran, you agree to a long-term investment. It takes consistent effort and practice. There must be daily reps and a lot of discipline. These disciplines and habits come in handy across academic, professional, and personal life.

Having a specific time every day dedicated to memorization and revision also allows you to build an excellent sense of time management. You learn patience and perseverance. Especially when you’re struggling during the process.

Apart from giving joy to the reciter, a good recitation also gives peace to those who listen to it.
