Salam Alaikum Ustadh, if I sincerely intend to become a scholar, a student of knowledge, or a memorizer of the Qur'an, and die while striving for that but never fully reach it, will i get the reward and status of what i was striving to be?"

Ustadh AbdulAziz al-Haqqan
In sha'a Allah, the bounty of Allah is expansive.
