This research is a literature review, aimed to find out the positive impacts of memorizing the Qur’an on the cognitive intelligence of children. Among Muslim parents, making their children become memorizers of the Qur’an is one of the noble steps to achieve glory and happiness in this world and the hereafter. There are many virtues for Hafiz Qur’an (Qur’an Memorizer) that have been listed in the Qur’an and Hadith. Besides, based on several results of the research showed that the ability to memorize the Qur’an has positive impacts on children’s learning achievement or academic mastery of subject matters. Those positive impacts on children’s cognitive intelligence are (1) to sharpen the ability of children’s memorization, (2) to stimulate the children’s critical thinking, (3) memorizing the Quran as a first step and provision to mastery other knowledge, and (4) Qur’anic memorization can support students’ learning achievement. Parents or instructors might teach their children as interesting as possible and make memorization activity with pleasure and without coercion.
