Firm Resolution
A person should have such intent when starting to memorize the Qur’an, in the depth of it, and to know the excellence of the Qur’an to aspire after the reward mentioned above and yearn to draw close to Allah through that act of worship. Without this firm resolution, a person will treat the whole matter lightly, will become tired quickly, and will not even be able to achieve his goal.
