:salam2:
basically i started to learn how to read the Qur'an (compared to the other kids) quiet late i was about 10 - 11 years old and beleive me it was the worst way of reciting...no tajweed whatsoever. SubhanAllah when i think about the way i used to read the Qur'an it kills, i used to treat it as if it was just a mere book and i am feeling the pain of neglecting it now... now that i can't recite fluently at all. Alhamdulillah i am studying arabic to understand the Qur'an and also to compensate for not being fluent i have started to memorise the Qur'an by listening to others and following them with the Qur'an. And again by the grace of Allah my tajweed to an acceptable level (i hope)
if i could advise anyone this...it would be that
the Qur'an is jannah in this world for the beleivers, the soother of the hearts of those who want to be righteous, the guide with no imperfections. The words of Allah are powerful enough to give a blind man a clear image of this world better than those who can see and by Allah the source of strength for the mujahideen. So then how can we neglect such beauty. Those who teach Qur'an teach it properly and save yourself from being blamed on the day of reckoning and those who learn take your time and understand it, and when you stand in prayer do not just recite but have it in your head that this is Allah speaking rather then just scriptures. \beautify your recitation as much as you can and don't just scream the words of Allah likes those people on TV in the middle eastern countries, and know your voice does not beautify the words of Allah, Allahs words beautifies your voice.
and last but not least... someone give me a recording of \surah Haaqah in ther best voice
