Hi Lovely Sara! ("Son, that's what happens when you read the Qur'an. You might not understand or remember everything, but when you read it, you will be changed, inside and out. That is the work of Allah in our lives." ) I agree with your story 100% :) Al-Qur'an is a miracle from God. By reciting it everyday, we'll get something new inside and outside, except the rewards of course, Insya Allah :D Hi Zeus 2006!
Al-Qur'an is not only a story. It's a guidance book for whole life. So, I think it's really necessary to understand it. Like now, we learn English with special purposes that maybe various from one another. Why we who are not the native speaker want to spend a lot of time and money to study English? Maybe the reason is same, we absolutely know that English is important for now. Likewise we have to learn Arabic, coz it's our religion language. or at least we must have a desire to learn it :) but i agree with u, for muslim who don't live in Arabic Country or their national language is not Arabic, like Indonesia, Turkey and others. We need Qur'an translation in our own language.but in my opinion it may not replace Qur'an which revealed in Arabic. We must be able to recite it well, although we don't understand the meaning yet. Here, children (mostly) begin to study how to recite Qur'an in Arabic since they r 5 or 7 years old. So, when they grew up, they have been able to recite Qur'an. And to know the meaning, based on my experience, After reciting Qur'an, we read the translation. *
sorry…it becomes long. Just wanna share with u all :)
