‘Quran Enlightens Life, Sharpens Mind,’ Says Young Memorizer

 

Speaking to IQNA, Savadkouhi explained, “The Quran is a light that, once it enters a person’s life, makes everything clearer and more meaningful.”

She emphasized that the spiritual and mental benefits of memorizing the Quran extend well beyond religious devotion.

Reflecting on her own experience, she said, “I have always felt the positive effects of the Quran—on my mind, in my actions, and even during the university entrance exams.”

Though Quran memorization does not come with special privileges in national academic assessments in Iran, she noted that its cognitive benefits are undeniable.

“There’s no designated quota for Quran memorizers in the entrance exams, but being connected to the Quran, especially in subjects like religious studies and Arabic, really helped me. It enhanced my focus and mental sharpness,” she added.

Savadkouhi began her Quranic journey several years ago, dedicating three to five years to the memorization of 20 Juz’ (parts). However, academic demands at university have given her a temporary stop in the journey of memorization.
