Is the failure to seek forgiveness and pray upon the Prophet daily considered a shortcoming due to being preoccupied with memorizing the Noble Qur’an? And what should I do if that is the case?
Congratulations to you for memorizing the Holy Quran. We ask Allah to grant you the excellence mentioned by the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him: "The best of you are those who learn the Quran and teach it." The primary and best approach is to follow the guidance of the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, in combining all acts of worship, as he used to combine preoccupation with the Quran and remembrances (adhkar). Seeking forgiveness and sending blessings upon the Prophet do not take a long time. It has been authentically reported that one should seek forgiveness one hundred times daily, and send blessings upon the Prophet ten times in the morning and evening. In the Hadith: "Indeed, my heart is clouded, and I seek Allah's forgiveness one hundred times a day." And in the Hadith: "Whoever sends blessings upon me ten times when he wakes up and ten times when he goes to sleep will be granted my intercession on the Day of Resurrection." We advise you to be diligent and persevering in completing your memorization of the Quran, and to allocate time for the reported remembrances so that you may combine all virtuous qualities.
