Summary
Reciting the Quran without understanding its meaning still earns reward, so it should not be forbidden. However, reciting with reflection and understanding of its content is far better. Muslims are urged to understand the meaning of the Quran, reflect on it, take lessons from it and act on its commands and prohibitions.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
membaca al-Quran tanpa memahami maksud tetap diberikan ganjaran pahala. Namun, membaca al-Quran dengan penghayatan serta memahami isi kandungannya jauh lebih baik berbanding membaca ayat al-quran tanpa memahami makna isi kandungannya.
