I think it is better to read and use your brain. It is mental slavery to allow people to read for you.


Read the Quran in your favourable language and come to your own conclusions. If not sure, discuss with others and see where you stand

Al-Baqir:
@OP, that's your personal opinion. While your intention may be innocent that people who do not understand the Arabic should read its meaning to understand, advising people to abandon the Arabic text of the Qur'an is like advising them to leave Qur'an itself.

Note that other revealed books lost their values the moment their original manuscript were abandoned for foreign language. The point is there is no way you can ever translate 100% accurately.

Besides, reading Qur'an to understand the meaning (which Allah enjoys muslims to do) is different from reading Qur'an to seek thawab (spiritual reward) (which Allah also enjoys; both in the same Qur'an).

Do you know Alhaji Asari dokubo was in dungeon of the sss for 10months +. Recitation of the memorized Arabic Qur'an made him alive and sane while many in the same situation died or gone insane.

It is not compulsory you study Arabic but it is advised.
The best advice would have been to urge people who do not understand the Arabic to always simultaneously read its meaning to understand and Not abandon the Arabic

Bros, you believe that the Holy Quran is a divine revelation?

Learn Quran Arabic for the best understanding. But still recite the Quran.
OP pls change the title of your thread. It is very good to encourage muslims to learn the meanings of the Quran but very wrong to suggest that muslims stop reciting if they do not know the meaning

bilms, your passion is understood but misplaced... and of course your intentions may be pure but actions devoid of knowledge is also useless, I bet you agree?
also please note this, in islaam ignorance(if proven) is an excuse.
though if we view it from the angle of reciting the Quran without correct pronunciation which may lead to some grave errors, you may have a point. But this is Ramadan & Slitz's post has thrown more light on why even if one is not perfect, one must read and accrue rewards while one mustn't relent in learning...

so I'll tag your post 'ignorant' and give you the ignorance excuse. You can calmly make your finding and I bet you'll come to the conclusion that the stand you've taken is faulty.



meanwhile, dem talk say make we read even if we never sabi Arabic meaning wella and all of una wey need holy ghost to understand simple English begin run ur mouth....
