The objective is to help you understand
the Quran as you recite or listen to it. If you are a typical non-Arab Muslim,
who can only read Quran (without understanding), then with our programs, you can
understand it in 200 hours of teaching/learning, Insha Allah. Start with the
Short Course (under the menu “Courses”) which has been offered to thousands of
people in different cities and countries as well as online.
Holy Quran is “the most widely read book in existence” according to Encyclopedia
Britannica, 11th Edition (under Koran). It is also the book memorized by
hundreds of thousands throughout the Muslim world, even by kids as young as 11
The purpose of reading Quran is to
understand it and obey it's commands. It is sunnat to read the Quran but it is
farz to obey it's instructions. The Quran contains the commandments of ALLAH.
They fall into the following categories: Farz, Wajib, Sunnat (muakida and non-muakida),
Mustahab, makrooh, haraam.
To read Quran and to touch Quran you
must have Wudu, sit in a quiet place (because it is a sin to read the Quran
loudly and disturb someone who is praying salaat). If other people are in the
room they should listen quietly and listen rather than being dis-respectful to
the Quran. It is preferable to should say 'Aoozu billahi minashaitaan nirajeem
Bismillah hirahmaanir raheem' and to recite the Durood. Also make dua 3 times
'Allah humma rabbe zidney illmaa'. Then read the Quran slowly and with special
attention. Since making certain mistakes can change the meaning of words and
become a big sin. When you finish reading the Quran say 'sada kalla hul azeem'.
