Some Modern Ways of Learning the Holy Quran

The basic purpose of our life is to worship Allah Almighty. The best way of worship is to offer Salah and recite Quran daily for the sake of Allah Almighty. For the guidance of mankind, Allah Almighty revealed the Holy Quran on our beloved Prophet Muhammad (SAW).  Holy Quran is the last divine book, the majesty of the verses of Glorious Quran is mentioned in Holy Quran itself in these words: Say: ‘If the mankind and the jinn were together to produce the like of this Quran, they could not produce the like thereof, even if they helped one another’” (Quran, 17:88)

To reflect upon the verses of Allah is a form of worship. Quran is the source through which one can get close to Allah Almighty. In order to get benefits and blessings from its deep meaning and its fundamentals, it is the foremost duty of every Muslim, be it a child, a man or woman to learn it with proper understanding. Quran is in the Arabic language for its proper understanding and tries to learn Arabic. It is not difficult it’s like learning any other language. Arabic is a beautiful language. Try to learn it, read the Quran and follow its translation.

Some people ask if someone cannot understand the meaning of verses of the Quran would he/she still be rewarded. Its answer is yes, the recitation of the Quran even without understanding the meaning is also rewarded and will be counted as a good deed. “Whoever reads a letter from the Book of Allah, he will have a reward, and this reward will be multiplied by ten. I am not saying that ‘Alif, Laam, Meem’ (a combination of letters frequently mentioned in the Holy Quran) is a letter, rather I am saying that ‘Alif’ is a letter, ‘Laam’ is a letter and ‘Meem’ is a letter.”(Tirmidhi)
