      Start from the begining. First Ayah.

      Qur'aan is the simplest book for learning and comprehending it. Desire and little effort and resolve to remain no more a passive reader. No translation is exhaustive. When you translate yourself in realtime that will be the best for you since you would have perceived the message with personal effort.

      Some simple preliminary drill to acquiant with the words of Qur'aan by visual inspection. First step of reading and comprehending a text.

      Proclamation of Allah the Exalted Qur'aan is rendered facilitative for learning and comprehension

      It is individual's own responsibility to learn reading and comprehending Qur'aan.

      Translation of Qur'aan Reason and the best approach.

        Just go to nearby ustadz/imam/ulema/mullah (whatever you call them) in masjid or any friends and ask them to teach you the Tartil Quran.

          Salaam Earthdom

          No, please don't suggest him/her this way because most "ustadz/imam/ulema/mullah" only know how to corrupt >. Most of them who aren't Arab speakers don't even know Arabic. Only know some Arabic words or phrases.

          What do/did they corrupt? Verse 7833, 434, 43, 459, 2431, 5637* etc.

          Most scholars are hadithers! One of the most misinterpreted terms (esp . in Quran) is "ma malakat aymanukum".
          Learning classical Arabic from "Islamic" scholars is dangerous voodoo

          peace

            Peace Yuliana.

            What is GodsPath's want to learn is reading Quran Arabic (tartil Quran) not tafseer or tarbiyah .

            See his/her post again

            I've read translations of the Quran but I want to be able to read the original text.

            I think to who we must learn tartil Quran is up to us.To Sunni scholars, to Syia scholars, even to Non Muslims, it's not important as long as they expert in Arabic.

            peace

              I had considered going to the masjid nearby but it's nearly impossible to find out when arabic classes are held there I signed onto an email list for times but never got a reply. Getting in contact with the imam is also difficult because he's only present on Friday and I don't frequent the masjid because of the heavy Sectarian/Hadith rhetoric.

                Peace diamantinehoneybunch,

                I would agree with this. They follow the hadith for a reason. What we have today in Islam, as it is commonly known, is the message of the Quran among all of the teachings etc of the hadith and then simply that of scholars that even goes after the hadith. We have to go beyond that and back to the Quran. I believe even with one or a set of translations you can still come to understand the Quran - maybe the only barrier is the extent to which we want to be reminded and get back in touch with that which it reminds about? (since the Quran is a Reminder)

                  Salamun alaiki,

                  One group follows the self conjectured so called hadith. Majority of others follow the Jew Rodwell. His intentions were more dirty than the hadith mongers. One will have to do it oneself if he is interested to avoid disaster at the end of day. We will have to evaluate firstly the group we have wished to link with. This will also simultaneously give us the intellect to arrive at the true perception of the Book.

                    Sometimes it's good to have enemies. You can use your enemies to learn things which your allies would never tell you.

                    I think visiting a masjid is a good and easy start. You can not learn all the details and become an expert from your local masjid but it is a good start for basic arabic grammer and basic vocubalary. When you have got all the basic Arabic knowledge, you can continue learning Arabic by simply reading and studying the Quran by yourself.

                      Salaam,

                      I agree with her handshake and also with Earthdom handshake that GodsPath wanted to learn how to read Arabic.

                      Brother GodsPath, you can try http//lqtoronto.com if you like. I checked it long back and I found the video section easy for beginners who wants to learn Arabic ... Not sure if they teach how to read Arabic or they teach simple Arabic grammar. Please go through it.

                      May Allah bless you pr

                        Peace mohf.

                        It seems your statement contradict with what you ever say to me in the past.

                        See your statement in here http//free-minds.org/forum/index.php?topic=9605253.msg325934#msg325934

                        I dont know maybe you already change your mind but it's up to you if you want to do it.

                        Salaam.
