WHY IS IT IMPORTANT TO MEMORIZE THE QURAN

Why it is important to memorize the Quran.

Whoever memorizes Qur’an and acts upon it; Allah will reward him and honor him greatly for that, so that he will rise in status in Paradise to a level ommensurate with what hememorized of the Book of Allah. Ibn 'Amr reported that the Prophet (S.A.W) said: "It will be said to the companion of the Qur’an after he has entered Paradise, 'Recite, and rise!' For every verse he recites he will rise one level (in Paradise), until he recites the last verse with him (i.e., in his memory)." (Abu Dawood)
The Parents of the Memorizer of the Qur'an will receive the highest Honor of wearing a crown on the Day of Judgment. It was narrated that Buraydah said: “The Prophet (s.a.w) said: ‘Whoever reads the Qur’an, learns it and acts in accordance with it, on the Day of Resurrection his parents will be given a crown to wear whose light will be like the light of the sun, and his parents will be given garments which far surpass everything to be found in this world. They will say, “Why have we been given this to wear?” It will be said, “Because your child learned the Qur’an.”3
For every letter the Memorizer of the Qur'an recites is rewarded ten times or more. The Prophet (s.a.w) said: “Whoever recites one Word from the Book of Allah will be rewarded for a good deed and ten more like it; and I don’t say that Alif Lam Mim is a letter but Alif is a letter and Lam is a letter and Mim is a letter” (Tirmidhi & Al-Darami)
The Qur'an will intercede for the Memorizer of the Qur'an: It was narrated that Abu Umaamah al-Baahili said: “I heard the Prophet (s.a.w) say: ‘Recite the Qur’an, for it will come on the Day of Resurrection to intercede for its companions. Recite the two bright ones, al-Baqarah and Surat Aal ‘Imraan, for they will come on the Day of Resurrection like two clouds or two shades or two flocks of birds in ranks, pleading for those who recite them. Recite Surat al-Baqarah for to take recourse to it is a blessing and to give it up is a cause of grief, and the magicians cannot confront it.” (Muslim and Al-Bukhaari).
The memorizer of the Qur’an will be granted Jannah so long as he followed the lawful and kept away from the prohibited. Hadrat Ali (RA) reports that the Prophet (s.a.w) said: “Anyone who knows the Quran by heart and follows the lawful and the prohibited according to it, he will be sent to Heaven by Allah .” (Tirmidhi).
There is double reward for those who try hard to memorise the Qur'an Aisha that the Prophet (s.a.w) said: The likeness of the one who reads Quran and memorizes it is that he is with the righteous honorable scribes. The likeness of the one who reads it and tries hard to memorize it even though it is difficult for him, he will have (at least) a double reward. (Al-Bukhaari)

Give reasons why the Quran is the Last and Final Word of God.

Quran was given to the last Prophet, no other Prophet will come after Muhammad (s.a.w) and thus his revelation was considered the final revelation.
The Quran is a miracle, it is beyond human power, and this is because no human being can reproduce a copy similar to it.
The Quran is addressed to the whole mankind whereas the previous revelations were addressed to a particular people, for instance, Taurat was meant for the Jews only.
The message of the Quran is eternal, since it is applicable anywhere around the world and at all times its judgment is perfect putting in consideration the question of equity.
It guards the previous revelations and restores eternal truth thus guiding humanity to the straight path.
The teaching of the Quran is all encompassing, dealing with all aspects of life e.g. moral, Legal, political, social, economical and international relations.
It teaches about the histories of the past nations and their Prophets, an indication that it is addressing the last Ummah no nation will come after it.
The other revealed books were revealed before the Quran, this is because the teachings of the other revelations are included in the Quran thus the final revelation.
The earlier revelation has given a prophecy of Prophet Muhammad (s.a.w) that he will come to complete the chain of Prophethood.
Other Prophets were sent to their own nations to give guidance but the message of Prophet Muhammad (P.B.U.H) was for all humanity.
The Quran is a complete book of guidance as it is a complete way of life.
Prophet Muhammad to whom the Quran was revealed is the Seal of the prophets, the final decisive Prophet after whom no more will come. He is Allah’s decisive messenger to whom the revelation of Quran was vouchsafed.
