How do you make a pure intention before starting your journey of Qur’ān memorisation? How do you make it exclusively for the sake of Allāh?

I have spoken about giving up memorising the Qur’ān, feeling unworthy, and depression. I have spoken about the importance of the why and the rewards behind memorising the Qur’ān. But I want to remind you as we approach Ramadan, that if you struggle, if you keep stating and stopping, if you feel like giving up,…
We all know the importance of seeking knowledge (‘ilm) has in our Deen. It is central to Islam. We learn the words of Hadīth that describe the gatherings of paradise being gatherings of knowledge where you should sit and eat an ample amount (of knowledge).

I have mentioned how the Qur’ān was revealed over 23 years in a way that ensured preservation. And explored what the Prophet (ﷺ) mentioned about those that have memorised the Qur’ān.

How do you become a Companion of the Qur’ān? Qur’ān memorisation, wholly or partly, is an immense favour from Allāh.

You should have multiple intentions for memorising the Qur’ān. Voluntary actions can have multiple intentions giving you the reward of multiple actions.
