How to Benefit from the Verses of Allah and the Easiest Way to Memorize the Qur'an
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
Honorable Shaykh, he says: How do I benefit from the verses of Allah? And what is the easiest way to memorize the Book of Allah, Mighty and Majestic?
The Shaykh:
You benefit from the verses of Allah if you present your heart to them, listen to them, and reflect upon them. You read them with reflection, and then you benefit from them. If you read them with reflection, and if you listen to them while praying, as Allah the Exalted said:[Al-A'raf 7:204] So let him listen with reflection, and read with reflection. This, along with the fear of Allah, Blessed and Exalted is He, and drawing near to Him through recitation, these are all means of benefiting from the Qur'an. Because reciting the Qur'an is worship, so sincerity in it is necessary, and reflection upon the Qur'an and listening to it are necessary. As for the last part of the question.
The questioner:
He asks Allah to let him read. What is the easiest way to make the Book of Allah firm?
The Shaykh:
This varies from person to person. The matter of memorization differs; some people have little memorization, and some people are slow in memorizing. People differ. The best way is that you find a teacher and associate with him, and he guides you to memorize the Qur'an. You repeat the Qur'an until it becomes firm in your mind and your memory. You read, for example, one page of the Qur'an and repeat it until it is fixed, then you move on to the next page, and so on. It requires repetition. Some of the memorizers, when they memorize the Qur'an, read one page forty or fifty times in one sitting, but this requires patience.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you,

So when the Qur'an is recited, then listen to it and pay attention that you may receive mercy.
