Quran are infinite

Whoever memorizes Quran and acts upon it, ALLAH will reward him and honour him greatly for that, so that he will rise in status in Paradise to a level commensurate with what he memorized of the Book of ALLAH.

The Prophet Muhammad (Salallahu Alayhi Wasallam) said, "Whoever reads the Qur'an, memorizes it, and acts upon it, on the Day of Judgment he will be clad (by angels) with a crown of light, its light is like the sunlight and his parents will be clad with two garments better than the whole world and whatever it contains." So they would amazingly ask: "What action did we do to deserve this?" They will be told: "Because your son memorized the Qur'an. [Al-Haakim] 


 Prophet Muhammad (Salallahu Alayhi Wasallam) said: When a man dies and his relatives are busy in funeral, there stands an extremely handsome man by his head. When the dead body is shrouded, that man gets in between the shroud and the chest of the deceased. When after the burial, the people return home, 2 angels, Munkar and Nakir (names of two special Angels), come in the grave and try to separate this handsome man so that they may be able to interrogate the dead man in privacy about his faith. But the handsome man says, "He is my companion, he is my friend. I will not leave him alone in any case. If you are appointed for interrogation, do your job. I cannot leave him until I get him admitted into Paradise". Thereafter he turns to his dead companion and says, "I am the Qur'an, which you used to read, sometimes in a loud voice and sometimes in a low voice. Do not worry. After the interrogation of Munkar and Nakir, you will have no grief. When the interrogation is over, the handsome man arranges for him from Al-Mala'ul A'laa (the angels in Heaven) a silk bedding filled with musk. 


This Qur'an that we memorize in our lives, will be our intercessor on the day of judgement.

Prophet Muhammad (Salallahu Alayhi Wasallam) said: "On the Day of 
Judgement, before ALLAH, no other intercessor will have a greater 
status than the Qur'an, neither a Prophet nor an angel." 


Our position in Paradise is determined by the amount of Qur'an we memorize in this life! 'Abdullaah ibn 'Amr ibn Al-'Aas heard the Prophet Muhammad (Salallahu Alayhi Wasallam) saying: "It will be said to the companion of the Qur'an: Read and elevate (through the levels of the Paradise) and beautify your voice as you used to do when you were in the dunyaa! For verily, your position in the Paradise will be at the last verse you recite!" [Aboo Daawood and At-Tirmithee, saheeh]

The benefits of memorizing Qur'an are infinite.... Alhamdulillah!
