Is memorizing the Holy Quran for its health benefits and to strengthen memory considered worldly memorization?
Source: FtawySummarized from the full answer at Ftawy · imported Sep 2, 2026
Memorizing the Quran solely for worldly gain, without seeking closeness to Allah Almighty, is considered an intention for this world. However, if the memorization is for worldly benefits in addition to seeking closeness to Allah, then there is no harm in that. Strengthening one's memory for acquiring religious knowledge and the like, which falls under the objectives of the afterlife, is a good intention for the hereafter.
