The Literal Word of God
While translations are indispensable for understanding the message of Islam, the translation itself is not the Quran; it is merely a human attempt to convey its meaning. The Arabic text is the literal, unadulterated word of Allah. Reading it in its original language connects you directly to the Divine speech exactly as it was revealed to the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH).
The Reward for Every Letter
The spiritual reward for reading the Arabic text is immense. The Prophet (PBUH) said, "Whoever reads a letter from the Book of Allah, he will have a reward. And that reward will be multiplied by ten. I am not saying that 'Alif, Laam, Meem' is a letter, rather I am saying that 'Alif' is a letter, 'laam' is a letter and 'meem' is a letter." (Tirmidhi). This specific mathematical reward is tied exclusively to the Arabic script.
The Phonetic Miracle
The Quran is an auditory miracle. Its rhythm, rhyme, and phonetic beauty (which is experienced through Tajweed) have a profound psychological and spiritual effect on the human heart, an effect that is completely lost in English or Urdu translations.
