Hadith literature emphasizes the importance of memorizing the Quran and the virtues associated with it. Here are a few key points derived from various hadiths regarding the memorization of the Quran:
Status of the Huffaz: The memorizer of the Quran, known as a Hafiz or Hafiza (for females), is given a high status in Islam. It is reported that the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) said that those who memorize the Quran will be in the company of noble and righteous angels (Hadith in Sahih Muslim). Where are the angels? In paradise obviously!!
Intercession: The Quran is said to intercede for its memorizer on the Day of Judgment. A hadith mentions that the Quran will be a source of intercession for the one who memorized it (Hadith in Ahmad and Ibn Majah).
Reward for Memorization: There are references in hadith that indicate every letter of the Quran brings a reward. Thus, memorizing the Quran is seen as a means to earn immense rewards from Allah.
Encouragement to Teach and Learn: The Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) stated that the best among the believers are those who learn the Quran and teach it (Hadith in Sahih Bukhari).
No mention about going to heaven.
Where are the angels? There are angels around every human Allah has created.At least two and above.
Reading,Reciting, listening, memorising Quran brings reward. Even you get rewards for reading translated verses.
