Question:
Assalamu `alaykum,
Alhamdulillah, thank you for being here, for being a blessed source of inspiration, determination & hope. I wish to learn the Quranic language and to be able to read the Quran. I’m afraid that I’m unable to find the one to learn from whom I trust. Most places/people offering such classes are commercial in their methods. I attended some but stopped because I became the “highlight” of the class for being too slow as I have to juggle with being a single parent to 5 children. I cannot afford to send each of us to a class, I’m growing older, embarrassed & worried. Please dear Shaykhs, I wish to request for a dua‘ to ease our learning & to find a wonderful guide. Are there special practices or secrets to learning how to read the Quran that you can share.
Always needing your blessed advises & guides.
Answer:
Alaikumsalam,
Make intention that you want to learn Qur’an for the sake of Allah without any obstacle. Pray salatul sunnah Duha 2 to 8 raka’at every day and recite Allah’s Name Ya ‘Aleem 100 times after salat with intention and du’a. May Allah give you a wonderful teacher to guide you and your children Insha Allah.
