When I complete the recitation of the Qur'an every week, the reading is fleeting. Should I continue completing the Qur'an every week, or should I memorize whatever is easy for me?

Question:
I am, praise be to Allah, a young Muslim, and I try with all my might to practice what I hear. I heard a question about how to spend one's time, and I heard the Honorable Shaykh divide the mushaf into seven parts, so that the reader completes the mushaf every week. Praise be to Allah, I am reading the Qur'an, but I have not memorized much of it, and when I read, the reading is fleeting. So guide us, may Allah reward you. Should I continue reading and completing the Qur'an every week, or should I memorize whatever is easy for me? May Allah reward you with good.

Answer:
Both actions are good deeds and obedience to Allah (Mighty and Majestic). Reciting the Qur'an, repeating it, and memorizing some of it are all good deeds. The best is to combine the two: set aside a specific time for memorization, in which you memorize whatever is easy for you, and continue with this and maintain it. A little, if you persist with it, becomes a lot, by the permission of Allah. Likewise, set aside time for reciting the Qur'an and going through it from beginning to end. If you read it in ten days, or seven days, or three days, or less or more, that is permissible. And the more you recite the Qur'an, the better. Yes.
