[Arsalan]

Dunno about the good muslim part, but yeh i read Quran and translations, it helps me learn it quicker too.

:salams

I do read Quran sometimes...without the translation and sometimes with the translation....by reading the translation I intend to understand more.......!

I guess it helps a lot cause u come to understand the meaning plus you improve your Arabic which happened to me !!! Alhumdulillah!

alhamdullah ive read the quran. when i first read the translation tears came dwn my cheeks and knew this was the word of god. Allah akbur:)

Yep I do read the quran and the translations.It also helps when i watch it on tv and the translation is at the bottom.

[.: Anna :.]

I edited the poll to removed the "masha allah im a good muslim" phrase, as I felt this is slightly bragging, and people may not be comfy with it.
Hope thats fine with you ia muslim forever, it doesnt change the content of the poll itself

Asalaamu Alaikum sister,

Alhamdulillah, reading the translation of the Qur'an greatly helps to understand the meaning of the Holy Book. Personally, Arabic is not my first language so when I used to recite the Qur'an, I had no idea what I was reading. Then my uncle gave me a Qur'an along with the English translation and reading the meanings has given me a much better insight into our deen.

If we also read the tafsir (exegesis) of the Qur'an, then we will understand it even better, Insha'Allah.

Of course, we must understand that by reading the translation and/or tafsir, we are in no way qualified to give our own personal interpretations nor do we become scholars in the area.

However, seeking Islamic knowledge is a duty upon us and the more we learn, Insha'Allah, the more we can implement Islam wholly into our lives and truly live like Muslims.

So sister, I greatly encourage you to begin reading the translation. :) Insha'Allah, it will only help you in your journey to become a better Muslimah. :)
