Faith IQ – Is it better to Recite the Quran or Read The Translation

			If someone doesn't understand Arabic at all, should they recite the Quran? Or should they simply
read the translation?
		

			Remember that the Quran is the book of Allah. It is the speech of Allah and Allah subhanaw taala
describes it as a Mubarak book mobarak meaning it is a source of endless benefit. So it's mere
recitation even without understanding can also bring reward to a person. In a Hadees we learned that
a person is rewarded for every letter of the Quran that they recite for reciting Elif for reciting
lamb and for reciting meme, meaning every single letter of the Quran brings reward to the reciter
the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam was sent to convey the Quran to people, Allah subhana wa
tada mentions the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam in the Quran, that yet no, are they him it he
		

			that he recites to them his verses, and in the same ayah Allah says where you are Lima who will kita
and he also teaches them the book. So we see that the recitation of the Quran is a separate a
distinct virtue on its own. It is distinct from understanding or learning the meaning of the Quran.
This doesn't mean that only one is important. No, both are important. The Quran has several rights
and on the rights of the Quran is that it should be recited also. Yes, it should be understood, but
it should also be recited. The Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam said that no group of people
gathered in one of the houses of Allah reciting the book of Allah and studying it amongst
		

			themselves, except that Sakina tranquility and the mercy from Allah subhanho wa Taala envelops them.
And Allah subhanaw taala mentions those people in a gathering that is better than theirs. So we see
again in this Hadees that the recitation of the Quran and the studying of the Quran has been
mentioned separately. The Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam explained that the believer who
recites the Quran, and also acts upon it is like a citrus fruit that smells beautiful, and it also
tastes beautiful. But the believer who only recite the Quran, and he doesn't understand it does not
really act upon it, then he is like a date fruit, meaning it at least tastes sweet even though it is
		

			not fragrant. So we see that there is a benefit in reciting the Quran, even if a person does not
understand it. And remember that the recitation of the Quran is the first step towards understanding
it. You can only comprehend what the Quran says once you know how to read it, once you recognize its
words, so do not underestimate the reward and the importance of reciting the Quran. In a Hadees, we
learned that when a person is laid in his grave, then the punishment approaches him from the side of
his head. And the recitation of the Quran intervenes and says that you cannot go past me. So we see
that the recitation of the Quran will actually be a means of protection for a person in their grave.
