At least the verses we are reading, we should know the meaning of.
yes there is absolutely no point reading Quran without the meaning.
This habit has brought us where we are. We are just parrots or sheep following some one who would say:
No no. Don't read Quran translation. Thats not good for you. Its meant for only me or people like me to understand and explain. Quran was sent to us Ulema, not to you common people! Are you an Aalim? No, So why bother reading translation?............
Once you read translation also. You will develop questiong and you will try to learn.
Otherwise keep acting like sheeps or parrots!
I havent seeen ANY post on this forum saying READING QURAN WITH TRANSLATION IS BAD FOR UR HEALTH OR RELIGION.
Obviously you have to know what you r reading ...... Its important but that doesnt mean reading Quran without translation is biddat. The Qirat itself has its own charm.
Conclusion: its better to read Quran with Traslation..... But In Ramzan or Quran Khawani's you can just do Tilawat-e-kalam-Pak .... This doesnt hurt anyone :)
Just something on the side : I find it much more spiritual when I repeat Trasnlation of Namaz in my mind while i am offering my prayers..... so NO AM NOT AGAINST knowing translation of what you are reading.
And can someone plz tell our Muslim brothers the meaning of "LA IKRAHA FID DEEN". I am reffering to the onez that r forcing ppl to keep beared and have the "Islamic topi" on.
