It is not Obligatory for One to Fulfill Vow He made to Himself

Question :

About a year ago, I was faced with a very difficult problem and I made a covenant with Allah, saying to myself: "If this problem ends, I will memorize the whole Qur'an by heart." All praise and thanks be to Allah, the problem ended in the best possible way, so I began to memorize the Qur'an, but I was unable to memorize more than two parts. I fear that I will not be able to memorize it after I vowed to Allah, the Almighty, the All-Powerful. My question is: Is there anything incumbent upon me if I was not able to memorize the whole Qur'an, when I know that there is no religion for one who does not fulfill (his vows, oaths, promises etc.)?

Answer:

Since this covenant was made secretly to yourself, it not given the ruling of an oath the fulfillment of which is at obligation. But we advise you try to complete the memorization. of the Qur'an as you began, devote all your efforts to it, recite it repeatedly, and designate sufficient time for it. Whoever strove earnestly will find what he seeks, and whoever sows will reap, and whoever trod the path will reach his destination.

And Allah is the Granter of success.
