read the quran

OK, I’ve read the intro and the Cow – thats a start at least!

I’ve read the Qur’an fully once after I first converted to Islam, but I would really like to read it again. I started to try during Ramadan, but I didn’t get all the way through. Insha’Allah I’ll be able to totally finish it before this Jan ‘10.

My father just purchased for me a translation of The Holy Quran by Pickthall. It can’t be an objective translation, then again, I’ve come to believe objectivity is a rarity in many things. :) But I’ve got the copy and I can’t wait to start on it.

I’m making definite progress :)
It’s been a very interesting process so far i must say.
my goal is to finish it by the end of July

I haven’t had time to fully give myself to the words of Allah. Every moment, it might be hesitant intervals, and suddenly, ironically i have changed my mind. My desire to read the Quran is tremendous huge that my thoughts are webbed in it. For sure, i will liberate this huge pressure and liberate my soul. I’d like my determination to read the Holy Kitaab is blessed by The Almighty and that He bless me with this venture. Hopefully, by the blessing of Allah, i will read it; together with someone or alone.
Believe me; it is not hard to just read, but i want more than that. I want understanding of every verse, line and meaning. I hope, insha-allah, that He will send me angels to vanquish these inner-demons.

I’ve been trying to read the quran (in arabic) again. I’ve not read it for so many years that now I have trouble recollecting the sounds of the letters.. I was stuck and didn’t know how to move on.. I went to the bookstore to get some beginner’s books on arabic and some kids’ books. Luckily my husband can read and I had to keep disturbing him to teach me the letters once again… I’m so happy, Allah has been so kind to me, I’m beginning to read fluently again. It’s not that difficult after all and since I’ve started to read about one week ago, I’m more motivated as I keep getting more fluent. It keeps me wanting to keep on reading till I finally can touch the Quran and read it completely. I will be really happy if I can read the Quran independently on my own, insha Allah. May Allah guide me.

Yesterday I bought a paper version of the Qur’an (I’ve been reading it online before). It’s in Swedish, but unfortunately it’s not modern Swedish, so I just hope that it won’t be too hard. If this is the most updated Swedish translation available, they need a new one. The Norwegian one is a lot better, but it was too expensive for me. Anyway, physically owning the book makes it easier to read a little here and there.

The information one gets about Islam here and there all seems very confusing, and I want to learn about it right from the source.

It’s partially pure interest and partially because of my “Find a Religion” goal.
I’ve been raised with an angry Bible being showed down my throat, and while I have belief in it, it also confuses me. Now I’m open to look into other things as well. I want to give the Qur’an a shot, and if it’s the word of God it shouldn’t be too hard for me (or anyone) to understand, that’s what I think. So far I’ve gotten halfway through and I’m pleasantly surprised. I never understood what it was about before, and it’s hard to explain, but quite early on in my reading I just suddenly “got it”, I understood something I hadn’t known before.

I told my Chinese teacher about my experience reading the Qur’an and she seemed to understand. She said that God leads us in the right direction, and it did make me think. I’m not making any decision until I’ve looked elsewhere too, though.
