The Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him, said:
"The best of you are those who learn the Quran and teach it."
And Imam Al-Shatibi says:
"And the Book of Allah is the most reliable intercessor, and the most sufficient giver, a benefactor."
And Ibn Al-Jazari, may Allah have mercy on him, says:
"And after all, a person is not honored except by what he memorizes and knows."
Therefore, the carrier of the Quran is the most honorable of the Ummah, the people of good deeds.
