Shaykh Ibn Jibreen (may Allah have mercy on him) said:
“Memorizing the Qur’an is among the best of deeds, because whoever memorizes it becomes a keeper of knowledge. For the Qur’an is the foundation of all knowledge, and memorizing it is considered an obligation upon the Ummah—meaning one of the communal obligations (Fard Kifāyah).
Therefore, those who have memorized the Qur’an are given precedence over others. One of them may lead in prayer even over someone older than him or someone of greater status than him. Likewise, he may undertake delivering the Friday sermon and preaching, engage in da‘wah, and take part in charitable works.
Therefore, children should strive to compete with one another in this, and they should be keen to memorize the Qur’an, or whatever portion of it they are able to memorize.”
