I want to memorise the Qur'an but I'm too old and too busy
Question:
"He says: "May Allah reward you with good Oh Shaykh, I want to memorise the Qur'an, but no matter how much I try, (it is difficult) with my old age and the many things that keep me busy. Is there any advise for me so that I may memorise the Qur'an?"
Answer:
"Yes, make effort! The companions (of the Prophet, may peace and blessings be upon him and his followers) did not memorise the Qur'an except while being old in age. The companions memorised the Qur'an while they were old in age. But it was due to the diligence, hard work, aspiration, honesty, true desire and having been granted tawfeeq (success) by Allah, the Mighty and Majestic. He is the One who enabled them to do this.
So therefore make effort, work hard and ask Allah the Mighty and Majestic to grant you tawfeeq in achieving that which you desire, while exerting the means at the same time, as the Prophet, may peace and blessings be upon him, said:
"Busy yourself (make effort) with that which benefits you and seek aid from Allah!" [Saheeh Muslim]
Seek the means, ask for aid from Allah, and ask Allah the Mighty and Majestic to facilitate for you that which you desire from the good of both the worldly life (the dunya) and the hereafter!"
Shaykh 'Abdul-Muhsin bin Hamad al-'Abbaad, may Allah preserve him

السؤال: يقول: جزاكم الله خيرا يا شيخ أنا أريد أن أحفظ القرآن ولكن مهما أحاول مع كبر سني وكثرة مشاغلي فهل من نصيحة لي لأحفظ القرآن؟
جواب الشيخ عبد المحسن العباد حفظه الله: نعم. تجتهد الصاحابة ما حفظوا القرآن إلا وهم كبار. الصحابة حفظوا القرآن وهم كبار ولكن للجد والإجتهاد والحرص والصدق والرغبة الصادقة وبتوفيق الله عز وجل هو الذي مكنهم من ذالك. فأنت اجتهد فحرص واسأل الله عز وجل أن يوفقك لتحقيق ما تريد مع بذل الأسباب كما قال عليه الصلاة والسلام: احرص على ما ينفعك واستعن بالله. فانت افعل الأسباب واستعن بالله واسأل عز وجل أن ييسرك ما تريد من خيري الدنيا والآخرة
