Is the reward for reading a Qur'aan translation with understanding more than reading the Arabic Qur'aan without understanding?

Answer

For every harf

(letter) of the Qur'aan Majeed recited, one receives the thawaab (reward) of ten virtuous deeds. Thus, for the word Alhmd the reward is 50 virtues. This applies to the revealed Qur'aan – the Qur'aan Majeed revealed in Arabic, not to the man-made English translation or translation in any other language.

Reading a translation is not Tilaawat. The reward for reciting the Arabic Qur'aan even without understanding is immense.

It is essential to make Tilaawat daily, and during Ramadhaan even more. Reading a translation even with understanding has no comparison in thawaab to Tilaawat in Arabic even without understanding.
