Reward For Reading The Quran In Bengali Vs Arabic?
Everything things has its significance. Reading the Qur’an in the word of God has its own significance. But of course not everyone is capable of or has time to learn Arabic. The purpose is to understand the message of God. If one choose to read the Qur’an in one’s own tongue this is good enough.
May Allah grant you a good reward, brother. I have a couple more questions: 1) Regarding the virtues of certain Surahs (chapters): We find Ahadith (Prophetic narrations) about the great merits ( Fadil/Fadilah ) of various Surahs, such as Surah Al-Mulk, stating that they will intercede ( sha’fa’ah ) or bear witness for the reader on the Day of Judgment. Similarly, we find that reciting Surah Al-Ikhlas three times is equivalent in reward ( sawab ) to reciting the entire Qur’an once. My question is: If someone only reads the translation of these specific Surahs in their native language (e.g., Bengali), will they still receive these specific rewards/merits mentioned in the Ahadith ? For example, if someone recites the translation of Surah Al-Ikhlas three times in Bengali, will they still get the reward of reading the entire Qur’an once? 2) Regarding the sequence of reading: If someone has not read the entire Qur’an in their native language (Bengali translation), but they regularly read the Arabic Qur’an, will they receive the reward ( sawab ) for reading it? Or is it more important ( dhururi ) for them to first read the entire Bengali translation of the Qur’an?
