Question
I have not completed the Quran yet.I feel difficulty in reading quran in Arabic. Can I read Quran in any other lanugage because in that way i can understand its meaning? Kindly guide me
Answer
It is not compulsory for us to read the Holy Qur’an in Arabic. The basic purpose of the revelation of the Qur’an is providing guidance for mankind. Those who do not speak or know Arabic cannot benefit from this divine guidance without taking help from its translation in their own language. I would say that it is rather compulsory for people who do not know Arabic to read it in their own language to enable them to comprehend its message. There is hardly any use of reading it in Arabic when you do not understand the language.
