The Holy Quran.

It is rare to find such a book, where every verse, every word, every letter adds to its beauty. It is something lost in translation. Something no one can ever compare to obviously, because it is the word of Allah. However, sometimes I feel the more I read it, the more I listen, the I understand. My lack of knowing Arabic is the issue here, it is easily read; however, what point is there in reading what you do not understand fully. This is the point. Reading it involves dedication fully of heart. You are a child, and you are reciting your Lords very words. It is such an honor, such a privilege.
I am really not sure how to add Arabic text to this, so I cannot paste the ayats, and discuss it. I cannot emphasize the drastic amount lost in translation. It is though I allow my mind and my heart, to read the words, and understand it. And after more spiritual growth occurs, my being will Inshallah understand more. May Allah guide me.
Memorization has always been a key in life. Whether it be nohay, qasiday, surahs....However I did begin to accomplish something which I didn't think I could do before. I am almost 3/4 done memorizing Hadith-e-Kisa in Arabic. Its so beautiful. When I was younger I had memorized most of it Urdu, listening to it daily recited by Agha Sabswari.
Well yeah, beauty has been found, and thus I am still admiring it day after day.
