Can we memorize the Quran using imam kaaba videos on youtube?

In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.

As-salāmu ‘alaykum wa-rahmatullāhi wa-barakātuh.

Brother Salman,

There is great virtue in memorizing the Qur’an. See the following Ahadith:

‏Translation: Abdullah ibn Amr (Radhiyallahu Anhu) narrates that Nabi (Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam) is reported to have mentioned: “It will be said to the one who memorized the Qur'an 'Recite, and rise up, recite melodiously as you would recite melodiously in the world. For indeed your rank (abode in Jannah) shall be at the last Ayah you recited. (Jami Al-Tirmidhi: 2914)

‏Translation:Uthman Ibn Affan (Radhiyallahu Anhu) narrates that the Prophet (Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam) said, “The best among you (Muslims) are those who learn the Qur'an and teach it.”

(Sahih Al-Bukhari: 5027)

‏Translation: Aisha (Radhiyallahu Anha) narrates that the Prophet (Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam) said: “Such a person who recites the Qur'an and masters it by heart, will be with the noble righteous scribes (in Heaven). And such a person who exerts himself to learn the Qur'an by heart, and recites it with great difficulty, will have a double reward.” (Sahih Al-Bukhari: 4937)

It is advisable to memorize the Qur’an under the personal supervision of a teacher who is a Qari (expert in recitation of the Qur’an). That will enable one to progress more with constant supervision and perfect ones Tajweed and recitation.

Accordingly, we advise you to visit the Masajid in your local area and inquire if there is any Alim or Hafiz available for you to do your Hifz directly under. If this cannot be facilitated, then you may revert to us with your location. We will advise further.

And Allah Ta’āla Knows Best
