 و أقولوا في القرآن ما جاءت به آياته فهو الكريم المنزل و أقولوا قال الله جل جلاله والمصطف الهادي و لا أتأوله الحمد لله رب العالمين له الحمد للحسن والثناء الجميل وأشدوا الله إلا الله وحده لا شريك له يقولوا الحق وهو يهدي السبيل وأشدوا أن محمدًا عبده ورسوله صلى الله عليه وعلى آله وأصحابه والتابعين لهم بحسان إلى يوم الدين أما بعد إن شاء الله وتعالى I'm going to respond to your question what I want إن شاء الله وتعالى the question to understand is memorizing the Quran is a communal obligation it's not an individual obligation it's called فرضو كفاية فرضو كفاية means إذا قام به بعض سقط عن الباقي if a group of people stand up to memorize the Quran it is not obligatory on every single Muslim to memorize and this is a unanimous agreement amongst the scholars and إبنو حزم الرحمه الله he transmitted the إجماع in his Kitab مراتب الإجماع and everybody else is highly recommended for them to memorize the Quran last point number one إن شاء الله وتعالى also memorizing the Quran there are many virtues that the Messenger صلى الله عليه وسلم and Allah has mentioned for the one who sits down and memorizes the Quran the first virtue إن شاء الله وتعالى is that which أليمام البخاريو narrated in الصحيح من حديث أثماري بروعفان رضي الله وتعالى عنه where the Messenger صلى الله عليه وسلم he said خيروك من تعلم القرآن وعلمه the best amongst you is the one who memorizes the Quran and teaches it also the second benefit is the person who memorizes the Quran is the one who should be put forward immediately in the prayer the Messenger صلى الله عليه وسلم he said إن حريد أليمام المسلم narrated in الصحيح من حريد أبي مسعود إن الانصاري البدري رضي الله وتعالى عنه the Prophet he said يوم القومة أقرأهم لكتاب الله أحفظهم the person who should lead the people is the one who knows the Quran the most and also the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم he would place in the grave first in the battle the one who had taken and memorized the Quran the most the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم he would say أيوهم أكثر وأخذل للقرآن which of these two individuals has memorized the most Quran فإذا أشير عليه if someone was mentioned to him إلى أحدهما قدمه في اللحظة the Prophet would put that person first in the lachd أليمام البخاريه narrated this من حديث جابل رضي الله وتعالى عنهما the third virtue إن شاء الله وتعالى is the virtue in the hereafter in Jannah the person who memorized the Quran who has taken most of the Quran or all of the Quran that person's level will be higher than a person who has taken very little portion of the Quran or nothing ولذلك أليمام أبي داود narrated من حديث عبد الله بن عمر بن عاصم رضي الله وتعالى عنهما أن شخل الباني رحم الله authenticated it in his book أستلسل الصحيحة that the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم he said يقال لصحب القرآن the person who memorized the Quran who beset them إقرأ وارتقي وارتل كما كنت وارتلوا في الدنيا فإن منزلتك عند آخر آية تقرأها they will beset the person who memorized the Quran read, recite, and ascend and it will be then said to them you are going to be يعني in جنة the last verse that you read so if the person memorizes the whole entire Quran he will be at the highest level the fourth insha'Allah و تعالى benefit is that the person who memorizes the Quran can extract rulings from the Quran and the Sunnah if he has the understanding of it يعني the Quran and the Sunnah it's the مصدر الأدلة it's the foundation of where evidence is taken from the Quran and the أحكام the jurisprudence rulings and the fatawa are taken from the Quran and the Sunnah of the Prophet عليه الصلاة والسلام so those are a few points I wanted to insha'Allah و تعالى bring to the attention of the questioner also now I want to move on to what the questioner asked which is what are the things that can help person to memorize the Quran the first one is to show gratitude we have to show gratitude to الله تعالى و تعالى على نعمة الحفن for the virtue of memorization the virtue of memorization memorization is النعمة من نعم الله تعالى و تعالى it's a blessing from the blessings of Allah سبحانه و تعالى and if a person shows gratitude to that الله سبحانه و تعالى not only will he allow that memorization to remain for you but he will increase it for you as Allah says in Suratul Ibrahim لإن شكرتهم لأزيد النقم if you show gratitude الله says I will increase it for you the second insha'Allah و تعالى quality and characteristics that the person should come with is إخلاص sincerity and إخلاص is what إخلاصونا لله صف القلب من يرادة سواه فحدر يا فطين إخلاص means that your intent your motive your reasoning your action are of Allah تعالى و تعالى there is no one else you have in mind it is Allah who you want to do it for and when it comes to the Qur'an many people lack sincerity many people do when Allah gives us sincerity in everything that we say and do and the Prophet told us عليه الصلاة و السلام إنا حريت أليمام و أحمد نريتن من حديت عبد الله إبني أعمل إبني عاصل رضي الله تعالى عنهما أن شيخ محمد ناصر الدينة العلباني you authenticated in السلسلاء الصحيحة that the Prophet said أكثر منافقي أمتي قراءوها the Prophet said صلى الله عليه وسلم أكثر منافقي من منافقي في أمتي هي قراءوها لذا قراءوها يجب أن تأكد عندما يدعون القرآن يجب أن يفعل for Allah's sake و يجب أن يتذكر القرآن يجب أن يفعل it for Allah's sake و أيضاً ما يساعد with the memorization of the Qur'an is the revision يجب أن تحديك و يجب أن تتعاهد القرآن والأكثر من تلاوتي و مراجعته و يجب أن يفعل the Qur'an a lot و يجب أن يفعل it لأن ريزيزيون يجب أن يساعد with يجب أن تتذكر the information you've memorized و لذلك The Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم يسألنا حديث الإمام البخاري المسلم بوثن ريثي من حديث أبي موسى الأشعاري من حديث أبي موسى الأشعاري The Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم يسأل تعاهد القرآن تعاهد القرآن أما تعاهد هذا القرآن يعني يجب أن تحدي هذا القرآن فولد نفس محمد بيده لهو أشد تفلوتا من الإبن في عقولها The Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم يسأل It is يعني It escapes faster than a camel في عقولها So memorized the Qur'an and revised it Also the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم يسأل إن another يعني رواية of عبد الله بن عمرين رضي الله تعالى عنهما which is نبيتي البخاري المسلم إنما صاحب إنما مثل صاحب القرآن The Prophet كمثل صاحب الإبن و علقه إِنَ عَهَدَ عَرِهَ أَمْسَكَهَ وَإِنْ أَطْلَقَهَ هَدَهَهَ So if a person tries to you know abandon reciting the Qur'an they will forget it How many of us have memorized the Qur'an and learned the Qur'an when we were young but we forgot it when we got older because we stopped revising If you stop revising you forget the Qur'an The fourth one is to stand up at night and pray with it It's one of the ways that helps you يقوم أعناء الليل و أعناء النهار The person stands up day and night يعني night time you pray with it قيام الليل and also day time you pray your صلاة with it And I know a brother may Allah honor him إن شاء الله He's never ending mercy on to him He would يعني recite the Qur'an in every prayer of his from بقرة to death Not in one prayer but every صلاة he read a portion if it be a page half a page and he would do it in that order and every month he would try to finish the Qur'an in his five daily prayers every month So that's a good idea that's how he keeps it and also at night he prays with it الإمام البقاري and Muslim both narrated من حريثي عبدالله من أعمال رضي الله تعالى عنهما may Allah be pleased with him and his father that the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم he said لا حسد إلا في تنتيني There is no envy except in two people رجل أن آتاه الله القرآن فهو يقوم به آناء الليل وآناء النهار and this person is reciting and he is reading and he is utilizing the Qur'an day and night ورجل أن آتاه الله مالا فهو يفقه آناء الليل وآناء النهار and the second person that we should be jealous of is a person الله gave them وَالْصُبْحَانْهُ وَالتَعَالَى and this person is giving that wealth for the sake of Allah and this jealousy doesn't mean that we ask Allah to remove this blessing from the person but it means we ask Allah to give it to us وَالْصُبْحَانْهُ وَالتَعَالَى so reciting the Qur'an in your prayers day and night time reciting it going over it also helps you keep the memorization of the Qur'an number five is making yourself acquainted with the meaning and the understanding that is in the verses if you know the meaning it will help you تفسير of the Qur'an and it doesn't always have to be a detailed explanation it doesn't have to be even if it's just something very يعني باسق about the verse لان every verse something about it even if it's small and that would help you last but not least is to stay away from المعاصي والأهتم stay away from sins and also stay away from what والخلطة مع الأشرار it's mixing with evil people because when you mix with those people they will affect your Qur'an and they will affect your memorization of the Qur'an and I want to stop there إن شاء الله ولي علمه عين الله سبحانك الله وبركاته الحمد لله أشد ولا إله إلا الله استغفرك واتوب إليه
