Ruling on Memorization of the Qur'aan
Is it Fard (obligatory) to memorize the Ever-Glorious Qur'an?
A: Memorizing the Ever-Glorious Qur'an is a collective obligation. It is not obligatory upon every individual in the Ummah (Muslim nation) to memorize it. However, memorizing the Qur'an is one of the best Qurbahs (good deeds by which Allah's Pleasure is sought). It is a great virtue, provided that the Muslim acts upon its rulings and abides by its Hudud (limits).
May Allah grant us success. May peace and blessings be upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family, and Companions.
