Appropriate Times for Memorizing the Noble Qur'an

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh. There are those who wish to memorize the Noble Qur'an, so perhaps you have a guiding word regarding the occasion or the choice of appropriate times for memorizing the Qur'an and reciting it?

Answer:
First, to complete the answer to the question before this one: whoever has become accustomed to reciting the Qur'an in the month of Ramadan and has devoted himself to it, he should not cut that off at the end of the month. Rather, he must continue and read from the Qur'an every day whatever is easy for him, even if it is a little, and he should persist with it so that no month passes without him completing the Qur'an. This is the minimum. If he completes the Qur'an every ten days, meaning he completes it three times in the month, that is better. And if he completes it every ten days, meaning he completes the Qur'an three times in the month, that is better. And if he completes it every seven days, that is better. And if he completes it every three days, that is better, as the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) guided to that, whether he completes it in the night prayer or in recitation outside of prayer. The important thing is that he sets aside a portion of the Qur'an daily so that no month passes without him completing it. Yes. Regarding the appropriate times for memorizing the Noble Qur'an: the appropriate time varies according to the individuals. Each person takes what suits him.
But regarding the common, general, and beneficial time, it is the time when a person is free from distractions. A person is free from distractions at such times, for example, in a period of the night in the quiet of the night, or in the morning at the start of the morning after the Fajr prayer, or at any time that suits the person, because people differ and they have occupations. The time in which a person is free is the time that he should use for memorizing the Qur'an. Yes.
