Reciting, memorizing, and interpreting the Qur’an are among the best and most rewarding deeds in the sight of Allah. Whoever recites a letter from the Book of Allah will have a good deed for it, multiplied tenfold. And on the Day of Resurrection, the Qur’an will come as an intercessor for its companions. Memorization takes precedence, along with the importance of understanding what is recited.
