Do Not Lose Hope If You Are Unable To Read The Qur'an Proficiently Yet


‘Aisha رضي الله عنها narrated from the Prophet صلى الله عليه و سلم:

The one who reads the Qur’an and is proficient in it will be with the honourable and obedient scribes (Angels), and the one who recites and stutters (finds difficulty in pronouncing and requires to go a letter at a time) and it is difficult upon him, will have 2 rewards.” Bukhary:4937, Muslim:798

Shaykh Ibn ul-‘Uthaymeen mentioned:

“The one who stutters reading the Qur’an and  reads by spelling it out bit by bit, and it is difficult upon him,then for him is 2 rewards; 1 for reading, and 1 for the difficulty (that he remains patient upon & endures in making the effort in trying to read it.” 4/641رياض الصالحين

Translator’s note: Amazing is the mercy of Allah upon his servants.So do not fall into sadness if you find yourself unable to read proficiently yet as others may do, strive nevertheless and do not prevent yourself from the great rewards.  Seek assistance to ensure you are reading correctly even if it is with the difficulty and stuttering. In the meantime, persist in improving and learning in order that by the aid of Allah you are from the proficient by next Ramadan…Insha’Allah. May Allah give us all success.
