This study examines the practice of memorizing the Qur’an as a means of achieving spiritual depth from a Sufi perspective. Memorizing the Qur’an is not merely about the ability to recall and recite verses; it can also serve as a process of self-cultivation through ongoing interaction with the Word of God. This study employs a qualitative method in the form of a literature review. Data sources were drawn from various literature related to the Qur’an, tahfiz, Sufism, purification of the soul, and character development. The findings indicate that the practice of memorizing the Qur’an can serve as a form of spiritual discipline, as the process requires patience, perseverance, discipline, self-control, and sincerity. These values align with the concept of tazkiyat al-nafs in Sufism, which emphasizes the importance of purifying and nurturing the soul. Continuous engagement with the Qur’an can also foster spiritual awareness, provide inner peace, and encourage individuals to apply the teachings of the Qur’an in their daily lives. Therefore, memorizing the Qur’an should not be viewed merely as an effort to master the verses by heart, but also as a process of spiritual development that can guide a person to grow closer to Allah and cultivate better moral character.
