Understanding Quran


Are you the one who always try to open holy book and read some verses from Quran , that was sent by Creator to  us through Prophet Muhammad peace and blessing be upon him.  Do you understand what the Creator , Lord of the universe is trying to tell you , through this book?????
If you understand then I assure you that you are one of the luckiest people around the world, there is nothing better than that!!!!

When we were kids our parents fulfilled their duty by bringing a Quran teacher for us , who taught us how can we read Arabic. After wards I suppose that all most all of us open Quran and read that , whenever we get time . But  everyone have noticed that in South Asia some people read when someone is dead and some people only open when they lose their parents and read a lot of Quran for dead . At least they are opening Quran but we should try to open it daily , even we study just a few verse.

But the problem with all non-Arabs is that they do not know anything about Arabic , it’s just they can read and sometime write , as in some countries Arabic is also taught in schools. We are reading Quran but we are not understanding what this Holy book is talking about . We just recite for AJAR nothing else.

Do you think that reciting Quran in Arabic is enough????


Quran is not only for reading , even though its good but the main purpose should be to understand, what we are actually reading. Our parents , we see at many homes , when they grow old they just sit recite Quran and actually there are many Muslim people around the world , who have learnt Quran by heart and there are some who have read this more than hundred times without knowing it properly.

What I am trying to say is that it’s good to read . But we must fulfill our duty too . We must take time and try and understand what our Creator the Almighty Allah wants to tell us . When we will understand while reading , our lives will be directly affected . You will surely notice a positive change in your thought and behavior towards life and others. As I am residing in Saudi Arabia from last 4 years where I meet people from all over Arab world. Arabs have this advantage that they read Quran and understand this and believe me I have seen that, they are much more better in faith then rest of non-Arabs . They practice Islam in a better way and trust Allah more as they understand what Allah is telling them , they read , they understand , apply in lives and have strong faith and practice Islam in their daily lives.

If you feel like only reading it , then I am sorry to say you are lacking something. I will try to show by an example; if we see many westerners who are turning to Islam , most of them share that they came across Quran they study it and got the truth . Whoever from non-Muslim world reads Quran ,  actually reads its translation and understands what is reality and ultimately the light comes to their hearts and brighten their lives , but what I want to emphasize that they changed their faith , just by knowing the meaning. In our case our faith can be stronger after knowing. One thing I will feel worth mentioning , by last example I do not mean at all that you should only read translation of Quran in your language , we must try to read it in Arabic as its the language of Quran , if we can then Allah have reward for reading each and every word. So , reading in Arabic is good but its better to understand as well.

Our parents have completed their duty to teach us how to read Quran , now it’s our turn to have sometime and try to understand Quran. It will surely change our lives you will surely develop a better attitude and understanding towards life and its issues , and will surely not be panic in many chaotic situations as you will understand that Allah have some thing better for you.

I wish every Muslim try to understand Quran  and may Allah help us in better understanding.
I believe that all the problems around the world are just because of reason that we are going away from Quran and teachings of Islam. We must understand Quran as the solution of all of our problems is hidden in lines of verses you read in Arabic but unfortunately you do not understand. If you have any problem in your life just turn to this , you will notice that everything will be resolved peaceful. When you will try to understand Quran Allah will bestow you with more blessings and open your ways. 

What are you waiting for , think, decide about some time and try to start now as we have many facilities and we can easily do this. Despite sitting free and roaming around open it on your mobiles , or download with translation and start today!!!

You will feel a peace in your life and you will surely be happy , I can bet.


All the best.
