Or bringing out a verse from the top of your head to fit into the context of your discussion with someone. Helps to Build a Deeper Bond with the Qur’anįew things feel good like hearing a verse from the Qur’an and understanding what it means. You pick up bits and pieces from reading the Qur’an, and with the help of your transliterated Qur’an, you are able to understand some words. This is the beginning of understanding Arabic for many Muslims. You begin to understand the Arabic words and what they mean.

Helps You Learn the Arabic Languageīefore I started attending Arabic classes, many of the Arabic words that I understood came from reading an Arabic Qur’an alongside a transliterated one. If you do not understand Arabic yet and you do not have access to an Arabic teacher online or offline, your best bet to understanding what is in the Qur’an is by reading a transliterated copy. It helps you understand words and how to pronounce them so that you are not pronouncing words wrongly. Reading the transliterated Qur’an helps you understand the words of the Qur’an in a language that you already know.

Usually, these transliterated Qur’an are different from translated ones, although you can find both elements present in a single Qur’an. You can find Qur’ans that have been translated into English, Spanish, Malay, Turkish, etc. These Qur’ans are usually transliterated into many languages of the world to help people who don’t speak Arabic be able to read the Qur’an. Transliterated Qur’ans are hard copies of the Qur’an (Mus’haf) that have been transliterated to a language apart from Arabic. Many of us Muslims who do not speak or understand Arabic have built our relationship with the Qur’an by reading the transliteration of the Qur’an.
