During Ramadan, Angel Jibril (AS) would visit the Prophet (SAW) every night to read the Quran with him. It is reported that even though the Prophet (SAW) was the most generous of all men, he was even more generous on these nights. (Bukhari)
This is a lesson for us all on the journey of memorizing the Quran. Even if we already do good deeds, the more we recite the Quran, the more we should strive to perfect our character and do even more good deeds. Let the words that you have memorized reflect in who you are.
Memorizing the Quran is a lifelong journey because with memorization comes revisions and the duty of acting up the knowledge for as long we live. In this journey, we should strive to keep to ways and methods that have been proven beneficial to the people of knowledge before us, so that our paths will follow their own if Allah (ta’ala) wills.
