I have been going through tough times for 3 years now, lost my friends, lost my girlfriend, lost my self respect. However, I converted to Islam 3 months ago, I have quit cigarettes, quit meeting people who are bad influences and retained my faith in Allah. Please pray for me my brothers and sisters because I wish to support my young brother and parents. I can live on the streets but I can't let my family down. Please pray for me and I will for you. I wish everyone reading this all the best. Allah hu Akbar
As an English speaking revert to Islam, I MADE THE MISTAKE OF LEARNING THE SALAT IN ARABIC WITHOUT GRASPING THE ENGLISH MEANING, so when I would pray, I would be like a robot and the words were not penetrating my heart and mind. So, I decided to GO SLOW, and say a verse of arabic in Arabic, then, soon afterwards, repeat the full english translation (silent and sometimes whispering)BEFORE proceeding to the following verse. Doing this made me feel if though I was more authentic in my prayers and not just rattling off the Arabic, no matter how elegant it sounded. After some time, I found that I could say the prayers in Arabic with my heart and mind knowing the meaning for sure. Try this method. It worked for me. You don't want to be a "rattler" without knowing what you are saying.
Can we read the Surah in the Arabic, but at the same time try to understand the meaning on the monitor in front of our pray in our mother tongue language ????? I started doing this and I LOVE to pray EVEN MORE !
Grew up in Islam but lost my relationship with allah in my late teen years. I’m now 30 years old and reverting back and trying to learn Islam again. Pray for me brothers and sisters
While you should do dua in arabic as well, I totally understand. I think making dua in arabic is more of a goal than a necessity, so inshallah you'll be able to do so someday but if not inshaallah it wont detract from your actions.
@@eternalwrathe711 hey, will ur duas still be answered if you make it in your own language, cuz I am from middle east but not the Arabian countries, so if I make it by my own language is it okay?? Or I must say it in Arabic. I was a born Muslim but I started praying the first day of ramadan because I couldnt learn, I tried like for ages to learn the Arabic prayer since it was so hard for me
@@havee_ If I may, the answer is YES, Allah knows what you want, what you pray for, but learning Arabic still important to understand Qur'an, try learning step by step, as for praying, from what I learn, using Arabic in a prayer(shalah) is a must.
I’m learning Arabic and using the translation of the Quran with English and the transliteration. It’s hard but you gotta persevere especially if you wanna please Allah and understand the meaning of each Surah.
Masha Allah, as this year ramadan is coming out goal should read and understand Quran as much as possible, one source that benifited me very much is that there is a youtube channel by the name Nak fans that have short commentry of Quran explaining how subject is cotinuing in Quran which is some times difficult to appreciate in translation and how eloquent and powerfull Quran is, its a great source to begin to understand Quran. Allah bless you, your family and make you an inspiration to this Ummah
I work in a auto repair shop with Muslim coworkers. I was feeling sad and anxious this morning. I normally listen to Mass when i feel this way but I wanted to respect my peers. So I found some islamic prayer calls on youtube and gave it a try. Didn’t understand it of course but for some reason i started to feel much better. God is Great.
Must must must must mmust must must must must, I agree, but Allah said there is no compulsion in religion. I thank Allah for existance, for the choice, for the purpose, for the goal Wich is the hour, may Allah make us love the Quran and Allah
@@shahidmanj2883 That depends on Allah's mercy, if let's say you're a non-Muslim but you were a good person in your time on earth, you were charitable, kind, etc. Allah may or may not grant you Jannah, if he does, it shall always be an exception rather than the norm.

Ihave not taken my Shahada as yet , I am embracing Islam because for many years I have found as if my life was incomplete , I am trying my best to learn as much as possible.
Listen, even if you still don't know much about Islam, don't worry and learn as you go, even if you are scared to be doing something incorrectly, just learn as you go. Even as a muslim there are somethings I thought I was doing correctly but eventually discovered they are wrong, and that's fine. You just continue and go on, but correctly after learning the correct way. If you discover you have been doing something wrong, that's okay, it's fine as long as you didn't know. And also if you have been doing something in salah wrong without knowing, it's accepted. You just learn not to make the same mistake twice. So don't be scared of not knowing a lot about Islam and just learn as you go.
Translations of the Quran is the best can happen to no arabs when they r invited by Allah to His religion. Genuines tears drop down while reading and not getting tired by hours at day or night. Indeed many things require an explanation to understand but I'll never forget the feeling of reading that translation 😊
Exactly as most of don't come from a Arab speaking country its hard for us to understand and I personally think there is no point reciting or reading the quran without knowing the meaning behind it So yes translation is so IMPORTANT
@@bluearmyreen8273 yes I’m having a problem learning how to pray right. Watched Some video and this guy said “now say the opening” then started speaking Arabic. If I prey in a different meaning it will mean absolutely nothing to me and I’ll feel some kind of guilt for praying when I don’t feel it in my heart.
@@bluearmyreen8273 Yes, but you need to understand that the number one priority is to read Qur'an in its original language. Even if you don't understand the meaning, you will still gain the most hasanat by reading it in the original before any translation (of course, recited w/ the right pronunciation). But its true that many of us aren't arab, and like alot of people, I'd like to know what I am reading so I can feel more connected with my faith and story. So just read both together. I read the verses first in arabic, then read the translation. Sometimes I do in increments so I'll read 5 ayahs then read the translation, or sometimes if I'm in a rush, I'll just read the arabic and then get back to reading the translations later.
i am a revert i do find Arabic extremely difficult to learn but for every word you struggle with and you finally learn you get so much more rewards not for the fact its arabic but for the struggle we go through to learn it, we also get rewarded for each letter we learn mash allah, Allahu Akbar
this man makes the most debated things, simple to understand. May Allah bless this brother and may we all be with him and the prophet Muhammed (PBUH) in jannah with our lord.
I am an American Muslim. I’m 41 so it’s been tough learning proper pronunciation etc but I can see why it’s important. Our language isn’t sufficient to relay the message
Same, our language is also very broken and distorted whereas Arabic has been structured better than the other languages. We should read every book in its original language so Quran is definitely NO exception.
i heard that those who recite quran and cant pronounce it correctly but make the effort to perfect it get double the reward, im arab myself and i cant read the quran properly sometimes due to the complication in the words.
Imagine thinking God created something for everyone but it couldn’t be understood in their language. Believe God is one. Do good deeds by fulfilling your duty and if you are accepted enter Paradise.
Please make Dua for my family. My wife and I have been struggling since COVID-19 and are currently looking for housing. I have a new good job Mashallah 👏 inshallah we will find a sufficient place soon for our daughter and coming son
I am studying Islam after listening to the beautiful call to prayer (excuse me for not knowing the word in Arabic). I am drawn to the religion and I cannot explain in words why. I must learn Arabic I feel to convert so I can at least memorise the verses.
Mashallah welcome! As long as you’re doing the best you can, Allah will recognize that and forgive you for any hardships you have. There are also romanizations available to help say certain things like allahu akbar for those who cannot read in Arabic. Start there so you can get used to it and memorize which will get easier everyday as you complete your salat and daily tasks throughout the day
(MashaAllah that you found the truth and came to Islam brother.) Keep reading the quran in English and try understanding the meaning of it. Try memorizing surah Al fatiha in Arabic : Bismillaah ar-Rahman ar-Raheem. Al hamdu lil lahi rabbil 'alamin. Arrahmanir rahim. Maliki yawmiddin. Iyyaka na'budu wa iyyaka nasta'in. Ihdinas siratal mustaqim. Siratal ladhina an'amta'alaihim, ghairil maghdubi'alaihim wa lad dhallin. Aameen And try memorizing surah al Ikhlas: Bismillaah ar-Rahman ar-Raheem. Qul hu wal lahu ahad, allahus samad, lam yalid wa lam yulad, wa lam ya kul lahu kufuwan ahad. These surahs are used in prayer also try understand the meaning of it so in English. Hope this helps
Congratulations..do not worry about it..u should start learning in arabic but untill then u can pray how u know..cox ur a starter u should go from step by step dear.....even if i know to pray and recite quran in arabic as a non arabic muslim i have witness myself whenever i make other prayers in my language allah had answered those( especially the days i obey allah properly i notice he answers my prayers instantly)....
@@appliedmech u being a non muslim reverting to islam i have to say ur very lucky and blessed..cox allah will removes all the sins you ever made from ur past from the movement you revert..just like a new born babies with no sins which makes u luckier than people who were born as muslims and a chance to start a new life...i hope u all the best insha allah..♥️
ALLAHU AKBAR. MASHA ALLAH Beautiful explanations n Fantastic pronunciation. MAY ALLAH SWT helps me to learn arabic... language of Jannah n helps me to memorize more n more. Aameen Aameen ya Rabbal Alameen. 🤲🤲🤲🤲
That is a beautiful way to put it. Even if u can’t speak Arabic you can still learn. I had my doubts because I don’t speak Arabic but I know I can recite the Quran chapters In Arabic. Allah my lord.
honestly I am really getting into the Quran and I would love to learn Arabic! And just more about this creator of ours because of course I’m a curious person! Im Mexican all my life I’ve been “catholic” but not crazy in the religion as I should be but still learning about god our creator I am not even sure if I’m making sense
السلام عليكم ورحمة الله وبركاتة جزاك الله خيرا وبارك الله فيك أخي الكريم ادعوا لنا بظهر الغيب الله يفرجها علينا وعليكم وعلى جميع المسلمين والمسلمات المستضعفين في كل مكان من بقاع الأرض حياك الله من سوريا
I'm your new subscriber and I'm newly reverted Muslim thanks brother I'm starting watching your videos and it helps me a lot to understand more about Islam ❤❤❤
Yes but Arabic is a unique language. Translations can not give the true meanings of the words. Also we don't want anything changed so we all pray in one language the exact same way. If not words and meanings will change and next thing you know people are using different meanings and words and then we have a million different denominations arguing about who's right or wrong. ( Which is already a issue but it'll be even worse..Sunni, Shia, Wahabi, Sufi).
I firmly believe you can’t full grasp what your saying if your just mouthing the words without knowing it’s meaning. I’m currently learning in English so I can grasp what it is I’m doing. Kinda like a flashlight in the dark. I’m using my flashlight in order to find the light switch. Allah grant me the strength and knowledge to help me in my studies
You are totally fine in doing that in my opinion, as the entire purpose of prayer is to help us become better people by remembering God and controlling ourselves against base desires. Many Muslims you will encounter pray in Arabic without understanding it, thinking gives them magical rewards. This is not to suggest that God does not listen to our prayers, but that there is a logical purpose for regular prayer. I’ve not been observing Namaz or the fast all my life,while remaining convinced of the noble Quran as the word of God. Yet after understanding the importance of prayer, I’m all for it, albeit in a decipherable language. With all due respect for the Sheikh, the meaning if the verses for prayer are not that complicated. Where we are stuck, we can always look for different translations of an Arabic word in English to help us feed our logical reasoning. To me, Islam, logic, reason and science are inseparable and complement each other. During the so called golden age of Islam, Scientific advancements were a result of Islam and not exclusively so.
Masha Allah you give a very good information which are important for those who don't follow this so they should correct their mistakes and to perform their prayers,salah in a proper way
Since I did my Shahada and reverted to Islam, my life changed completely and I’m very grateful to my Muslim Brothers and Sisters and Islam itself. Alhamdulillah 🤲🏻 Allahu Akbar
Definitely, let's make efforts of at least lmemorising and clearly pronouncing a few suras but based in Arabic for its the chosen language by Allah SWA.
I love this guy because of Allah. Allah was testing me that question why we couldn't pray to any other languages. I deeply understood the way he explained to us . Subaxanallah.
As a human It's better to understand the message of God, then memorizing it like a pariot. Learn the message in your your language, diversify Islamic language and have a pride in your native language Stop Arabic Imperialism! God is Great (Allah Hu akbar)
Assalamu alaikum, Ive struggled for so long since my beautiful sister was brutally murdered, i was diagnosed with a brain tumour, my phone was silent from those id spent my life being there for, when i was at my lowest, i called out and it was Allah who listened and remained with me since. I realised i needed to lose, to appreciate just how much i have and how lucky and privileged i am. I'm due to take my shahada in front of witnesses. But i do struggle with understanding prayer and ask for your guidance on how to begin to truly forgive the man who did that to my sister. I have no Muslim family or friends, and yet I've never felt more of a community. Please could you keep me in your duas, Help me to never stop learning. May Allah continue to bless you Alhamdulillah 🤲
JazakaAllah Muft. No so long ago a friend was asking me on the same issue but queried that she's missing out prayers because she doesn't know the arabic terms so best if she understand the translated terms so that she can move to arabic later on
I pray in English and Arabic and speak Arabic as an American who married an Egyptian over 20 years ago. I read the Quran in English with all the multiple meanings in Arabic explained
Salaam, I understand your argument. The question that arises here is the same as the Reformation. A few verses learned might give one the essence of the faith and some of rules if they learn the translation as well. Yes translation is a corruption or dilution of the essence but it creates a benchmark to begin the process to interpret the Quran and then to learn arabic proper it embrace the full essence and consciencely submit one's wil to the faith. Assalam Walekum. Alhamdulillah. Just a different perspective from one whom is too westernised. Apologies but I had to put it out there.
This always came to my mind as the logic on why we read Quran and pray in Arabic. But here is where I am confused - I am not a native Arabic speaker but I understand almost everything we say in the salah bc I memorized it with meaning intentionally. The meaning of it I understand in the language that I know so when I am praying i think of AllahuAkbar as Allah is the greatest and similarly for all other phrases. So whether I say it in Arabic or not I am thinking of it in the language that I know as I am offering my salah
SUBHANNA ALLAH....I THINK ARABIC WILL BE THE LANGUAGE IN JANNAH...BECAUSE OF QURAAN....WHEN RECITED YOU JUST FEEL THAT YOU ARE ALREADY IN JANNAH ESPECIALLY SURATUL RAHMAAN.
I use to read Qur'an in English but after this vid now I read in Arabic cuz these r the words of Allah and they don't change thank you for teaching meme something new ❤️❤️❤️
I have listened to you for years and may Allah guide us both. I strongly believe that the Quran is enough for me. I do not like to read "commentary" as I know it is someones opinion of what they believe Allah s.w.t means with his ayahs. Allah tells me that some of his verses are clear and other not so clear to everyone. I follow what I understand of the book and I do not follow conjecture. I hope we can all compete in goodness and all achieve paradise by his mercy, he is indeed the most merciful. "Ya Allah(swt) save me and my family and the believers on the day of judgement from the Hellfire".
Linguistics is one of my personal hobbies that I adore. It is true, there are sayings in Arabic, Aramaic, Ottoman Turkish, & Persian that the meanings absolutely cannot be translated accurately into English nor other languages like Modern Turkish. English in comparison lacks. It is like taking a painting and removing all the shades, hues, and only leaving the black and white image. There's no grays, no pastels, no depth. So in order to gain the most meaningful understanding of Quran is a challenge for converts to learn Arabic language for its blossoming fruits, textures, shades, hues, and liveliness as a linguistic artform. It's sister languages are just as beautiful. The Quran is unique in that I was told that every grammatical occurrence in Arabic is present in the text of the Quran. It is a grammatical guide, a holy book, and a guide for how to live the best possible way. Unfortunately, people who cannot read or are illiterate, need to be taught to read. Spreading literacy is our greatest challenge globally.
@@oromtitiwbo5078 The biggest obstacle to learning is psychological mental blocks. I had a young female friend who wanted to join the military, but couldn't do a pushup. An Arabic teacher told me he was more than happy to teach his wife Arabic, but no matter how many times he made an effort, she didn't want to learn at those moments, so nothing would stay in her memory. Later, these two different women had a change in mentality. My friend, at midnight at the university track finally accomplished one pushup. Immediately after, she could do another and another. Her "I cannot do this" mentality disappeared and her capacity emerged in full bloom. The same occurred with my Arabic teacher's wife. She decided she really wanted to learn Arabic language and afterwards her lessons were much more fluid. The next mistake is trying too hard to learn language by grammar books. Natural learning is through babbling. Babies don't read first. They learn sounds first and then words. Then sentences. All through interaction with people. To learn a language, you must learn to overcome fear of speaking. Just speak. If you make a mistake, people will help you. I speak terrible Turkish and terrible German, but I speak it anyway because people who are native speakers have no problem helping me to learn the correct way to speak their language. Most appreciate my efforts to learn. So babbling is the way. Also, if you can't pronounce a word, start at the end and work your way to the beginning (Pimsleur method). Have fun learning.
@@aileengurbuz6456 thank you so much for your explanations and examples and taking the time to write that out. that really helps. i think subconsciously i thought learning Arabic is too difficult so i gave up every time. i will try again and not give up so easily InshaAllah. shukran!
Definitely agree! We learn arabic at school (for around 6 years, but you don't really learn THAT much). But usually the teachers just ruin the language :( i used to love arabic even outside of Qoran but after last year i can barely even stand it 😭
If one cannot make an intention in Arabic, then what good are the prayers in Arabic? If one cannot recite Quran in the language in which one thinks, the Quran cannot provide the day-to-day guidance that one needs.
I have been going through tough times for 3 years now, lost my friends, lost my girlfriend, lost my self respect.

Arrahmanir rahim. Maliki yawmiddin. Iyyaka na'budu wa iyyaka nasta'in. Ihdinas siratal mustaqim. Siratal ladhina an'amta'alaihim, ghairil maghdubi'alaihim wa lad dhallin. Aameen
And try memorizing surah al Ikhlas: Bismillaah ar-Rahman ar-Raheem. Qul hu wal lahu ahad, allahus samad, lam yalid wa lam yulad, wa lam ya kul lahu kufuwan ahad. These surahs are used in prayer also try understand the meaning of it so in English. Hope this helps
Mashallah brother you will come to realize more and more mericales that will improve your faith
Congratulations..do not worry about it..u should start learning in arabic but untill then u can pray how u know..cox ur a starter u should go from step by step dear.....even if i know to pray and recite quran in arabic as a non arabic muslim i have witness myself whenever i make other prayers in my language allah had answered those( especially the days i obey allah properly i notice he answers my prayers instantly)....

That is a beautiful way to put it. Even if u can’t speak Arabic you can still learn. I had my doubts because I don’t speak Arabic but I know I can recite the Quran chapters In Arabic. Allah my lord.
Alhamdilullah! Thank you! @Mufti Menk brother
Belie I will like to meet mufti menk, your language is very clear to people who can speak English language ❤❤❤❤❤
honestly I am really getting into the Quran and I would love to learn Arabic! And just more about this creator of ours because of course I’m a curious person! Im Mexican all my life I’ve been “catholic” but not crazy in the religion as I should be but still learning about god our creator I am not even sure if I’m making sense
May Allah guide you 🤲🏼
السلام عليكم ورحمة الله وبركاتة جزاك الله خيرا وبارك الله فيك أخي الكريم ادعوا لنا بظهر الغيب الله يفرجها علينا وعليكم وعلى جميع المسلمين والمسلمات المستضعفين في كل مكان من بقاع الأرض حياك الله من سوريا

You make me cry mufti sahab💙
All Allah does not make anything difficult, the language he appreciates is the intention of your heart.
Alhamdulillah......... ❤️❤️ From Kashmir
Alhamdulillah 🙏
All praise to Allah
I'm your new subscriber and I'm newly reverted Muslim thanks brother I'm starting watching your videos and it helps me a lot to understand more about Islam ❤❤❤
I understand what your saying thank you for helping me understand
ALHAMDULILLAH AMEEN🤲🙏🤗❤
Jazakallahu hairen
The Creator hears all prayers in all human languages whoever says he doesn’t is wrong
Yes but Arabic is a unique language. Translations can not give the true meanings of the words. Also we don't want anything changed so we all pray in one language the exact same way. If not words and meanings will change and next thing you know people are using different meanings and words and then we have a million different denominations arguing about who's right or wrong. ( Which is already a issue but it'll be even worse..Sunni, Shia, Wahabi, Sufi).
I agree
I firmly believe you can’t full grasp what your saying if your just mouthing the words without knowing it’s meaning. I’m currently learning in English so I can grasp what it is I’m doing. Kinda like a flashlight in the dark. I’m using my flashlight in order to find the light switch.
Allah grant me the strength and knowledge to help me in my studies
مشاءالله 💕
You are totally fine in doing that in my opinion, as the entire purpose of prayer is to help us become better people by remembering God and controlling ourselves against base desires. Many Muslims you will encounter pray in Arabic without understanding it, thinking gives them magical rewards. This is not to suggest that God does not listen to our prayers, but that there is a logical purpose for regular prayer.
I’ve not been observing Namaz or the fast all my life,while remaining convinced of the noble Quran as the word of God. Yet after understanding the importance of prayer, I’m all for it, albeit in a decipherable language. With all due respect for the Sheikh, the meaning if the verses for prayer are not that complicated. Where we are stuck, we can always look for different translations of an Arabic word in English to help us feed our logical reasoning.
To me, Islam, logic, reason and science are inseparable and complement each other. During the so called golden age of Islam, Scientific advancements were a result of Islam and not exclusively so.
Masha Allah you give a very good information which are important for those who don't follow this so they should correct their mistakes and to perform their prayers,salah in a proper way
Please praying for my mom she passed away tomorrow to month ago 🙏
Praying for you brother
Since I did my Shahada and reverted to Islam, my life changed completely and I’m very grateful to my Muslim Brothers and Sisters and Islam itself. Alhamdulillah 🤲🏻 Allahu Akbar
i actually revert to islam recently and i have issues with arabic, inshallah i pray He makes it easy for me
Thank you Mufti Menk Sahab
You know what I love is that everyone is praying I love you in the video❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
❤❤❤ prayer brother I'm new to Islam as well
Alhamdulilah! May Allah forgive us and we get to janat al firdaws without torture on earth nor the grave nor the day of judgement
Definitely, let's make efforts of at least lmemorising and clearly pronouncing a few suras but based in Arabic for its the chosen language by Allah SWA.
MashAllah
Praying is communicating with your maker. How can you say things to him that u dont understand, how can the prayer be heartfelt and deep
I love this guy because of Allah.
Allah was testing me that question why we couldn't pray to any other languages.
I deeply understood the way he explained to us .
Subaxanallah.
As a human It's better to understand the message of God, then memorizing it like a pariot.
Learn the message in your your language, diversify Islamic language and have a pride in your native language
Stop Arabic Imperialism!
God is Great (Allah Hu akbar)
Agree
i do believe certain languages cannot represent sentences conveyed in arabic. Understand the meaning in english, read the quran in arabic.
Agreed. This is an argument of semantics.
I agree but people who know Arabic have the responsibility of preservation by memory which is an Islamic miracle
Jazarkhallah khair sheikh mufti as always inspirational
Assalamu alaikum, Ive struggled for so long since my beautiful sister was brutally murdered, i was diagnosed with a brain tumour, my phone was silent from those id spent my life being there for, when i was at my lowest, i called out and it was Allah who listened and remained with me since. I realised i needed to lose, to appreciate just how much i have and how lucky and privileged i am. I'm due to take my shahada in front of witnesses. But i do struggle with understanding prayer and ask for your guidance on how to begin to truly forgive the man who did that to my sister. I have no Muslim family or friends, and yet I've never felt more of a community. Please could you keep me in your duas, Help me to never stop learning. May Allah continue to bless you Alhamdulillah 🤲
Mashallah May Mufti Menk go to the highest jannah
Barakh'Allaah brother beautifuly explained...
JazakaAllah Muft. No so long ago a friend was asking me on the same issue but queried that she's missing out prayers because she doesn't know the arabic terms so best if she understand the translated terms so that she can move to arabic later on
Thank you so much this has helped me
May Allah make things easy for you brother
It took me 4 months to learn to pray in Arabic
Ramadan Mubarak !
Allah Akbar
Alhamdulillah
This makes so much sense to me! Thank you for this clarification!!
I agree with this mufti. Difficult as...we should pray in Arabic.
I can't be the only one who thinks that mufti menk looks badass in these poses of the thumnails
Remember me
@@technoroblox9402 yeah btw its 10:08 pm now here lol
nope u arent
@@fortnite-mt3th it's 11:13 here and you're right mufti menk looks like really cool in his thumbnail
@@claowdy you aren't what
I pray in English and Arabic and speak Arabic as an American who married an Egyptian over 20 years ago. I read the Quran in English with all the multiple meanings in Arabic explained
Alhamdulillah 🤲🏼
I’ve been praying for a decent time and I didn’t know a few things I was doing wrong will Allah except my prayers and forgive me?
Salaam, I understand your argument. The question that arises here is the same as the Reformation. A few verses learned might give one the essence of the faith and some of rules if they learn the translation as well. Yes translation is a corruption or dilution of the essence but it creates a benchmark to begin the process to interpret the Quran and then to learn arabic proper it embrace the full essence and consciencely submit one's wil to the faith. Assalam Walekum. Alhamdulillah. Just a different perspective from one whom is too westernised. Apologies but I had to put it out there.
This always came to my mind as the logic on why we read Quran and pray in Arabic. But here is where I am confused - I am not a native Arabic speaker but I understand almost everything we say in the salah bc I memorized it with meaning intentionally. The meaning of it I understand in the language that I know so when I am praying i think of AllahuAkbar as Allah is the greatest and similarly for all other phrases. So whether I say it in Arabic or not I am thinking of it in the language that I know as I am offering my salah
I missed these messages 🌹
Ja zakallah!
SUBHANNA ALLAH....I THINK ARABIC WILL BE THE LANGUAGE IN JANNAH...BECAUSE OF QURAAN....WHEN RECITED YOU JUST FEEL THAT YOU ARE ALREADY IN JANNAH ESPECIALLY SURATUL RAHMAAN.
Of course the language Arabic is language in jannah
Subha nna Allah may sweat heart am read jannnah waallayi.feel
Marsh Allah my Allah forgive us ameeen
Ameen
Ameen
Very wise words.
Subhanallah
Thanks for the sharing
I use to read Qur'an in English but after this vid now I read in Arabic cuz these r the words of Allah and they don't change thank you for teaching meme something new ❤️❤️❤️
Mashallah Allah akber
So, it's better to have good pronunciation than actual understanding of Allah guidence to mankind 🤷🏿♂️
I have listened to you for years and may Allah guide us both. I strongly believe that the Quran is enough for me. I do not like to read "commentary" as I know it is someones opinion of what they believe Allah s.w.t means with his ayahs. Allah tells me that some of his verses are clear and other not so clear to everyone. I follow what I understand of the book and I do not follow conjecture. I hope we can all compete in goodness and all achieve paradise by his mercy, he is indeed the most merciful.
"Ya Allah(swt) save me and my family and the believers on the day of judgement from the Hellfire".
Really u are preach l like u
Linguistics is one of my personal hobbies that I adore. It is true, there are sayings in Arabic, Aramaic, Ottoman Turkish, & Persian that the meanings absolutely cannot be translated accurately into English nor other languages like Modern Turkish. English in comparison lacks. It is like taking a painting and removing all the shades, hues, and only leaving the black and white image. There's no grays, no pastels, no depth. So in order to gain the most meaningful understanding of Quran is a challenge for converts to learn Arabic language for its blossoming fruits, textures, shades, hues, and liveliness as a linguistic artform. It's sister languages are just as beautiful. The Quran is unique in that I was told that every grammatical occurrence in Arabic is present in the text of the Quran. It is a grammatical guide, a holy book, and a guide for how to live the best possible way. Unfortunately, people who cannot read or are illiterate, need to be taught to read. Spreading literacy is our greatest challenge globally.
amazing. do you have tips to study language?
I like that analogy of the painting. Thank you.
@@oromtitiwbo5078 The biggest obstacle to learning is psychological mental blocks. I had a young female friend who wanted to join the military, but couldn't do a pushup. An Arabic teacher told me he was more than happy to teach his wife Arabic, but no matter how many times he made an effort, she didn't want to learn at those moments, so nothing would stay in her memory. Later, these two different women had a change in mentality. My friend, at midnight at the university track finally accomplished one pushup. Immediately after, she could do another and another. Her "I cannot do this" mentality disappeared and her capacity emerged in full bloom. The same occurred with my Arabic teacher's wife. She decided she really wanted to learn Arabic language and afterwards her lessons were much more fluid. The next mistake is trying too hard to learn language by grammar books. Natural learning is through babbling. Babies don't read first. They learn sounds first and then words. Then sentences. All through interaction with people. To learn a language, you must learn to overcome fear of speaking. Just speak. If you make a mistake, people will help you. I speak terrible Turkish and terrible German, but I speak it anyway because people who are native speakers have no problem helping me to learn the correct way to speak their language. Most appreciate my efforts to learn. So babbling is the way. Also, if you can't pronounce a word, start at the end and work your way to the beginning (Pimsleur method). Have fun learning.
@@aileengurbuz6456 thank you so much for your explanations and examples and taking the time to write that out. that really helps. i think subconsciously i thought learning Arabic is too difficult so i gave up every time. i will try again and not give up so easily InshaAllah. shukran!
Definitely agree! We learn arabic at school (for around 6 years, but you don't really learn THAT much). But usually the teachers just ruin the language :( i used to love arabic even outside of Qoran but after last year i can barely even stand it 😭
SubhanAllah
Mufti.menk❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
You have to learn Arabic basically. That is basically what he is saying and anything below that is necessarily not sufficient by this guy's standards.
I am a Muslim and pray in English as well as making my Dua in English.
Allah's the greatest
If one cannot make an intention in Arabic, then what good are the prayers in Arabic? If one cannot recite Quran in the language in which one thinks, the Quran cannot provide the day-to-day guidance that one needs.
Thanks Mufti Menk 👍❤️
Yes... that's How You Get To See It Live. 👀
Assalamualaikum brothers and sisters 🤗❤️🇧🇩
Walaikum assalam wa'rehmatullah
Subbanala mufti the best love 💕 you always fazieeee
Mufti menk please make videos of quran tafseer
I am not a Muslim but I trust yuo
I go to church
You should definitely research Islam's guide and mericales and argue what you think is false to conclude the truth
We all worship the same. We all have one God, who is, the creator of all things.
