how to read the Holy Qur'an

Alhamdolillahi Raabbil alameen -- Praise (and worship) is due only to Allah, Lord (and Sustainer) of all creation. None of us is forsaken. The road to salvation begins with accepting that you must obey the Will of your Creator and continues with a quest for knowledge, the Guidance that He Gave all of us. Even if you deny that Allah subhanahu wata ala is the Creator, you have to search for the truth. And when you come to the Holy Quran, you cannot help but recognize it as truth. Though you may need a translation/interpretation in English to explain the meaning of the Quran to you, and the translation by Sahih International is the one I recommend, the best way to read the Quran is in its original form, in the same words in which it was revealed, in Arabic. Here's a video that helps. "The Prophet(Peace and Blessings be upon him) mentioned that the one who recites the Qur'an with difficulty, will get a Double Reward. Come attend Usamah Hammad's lessons in the science of Qur'anic recitation. Join Huda TV in honoring the book of Allah by beautifying its recitation."
