1. Ahmad from Germany
Ahmad is a young German Muslim from a non-Arabic speaking family. He began learning the Quran in Arabic after converting to Islam at the age of twenty. At first, he faced difficulties understanding the Arabic texts, but he was determined to learn the language because he believed understanding the Quran in its original language was crucial. He dedicated daily time to learning, using techniques like parallel translations and reflecting on the verses. After years of hard work, Ahmad was able to memorize large parts of the Quran and understand its meanings deeply. Now, Ahmad helps other Muslims learn the Quran and guides them on the importance of the Arabic language for understanding religious texts correctly.

2. Sara from France
Sara grew up in a French family that didn’t speak Arabic. When she decided to learn the Quran, the language barrier was the biggest challenge. But she started learning Arabic regularly, taking lessons in grammar and vocabulary, and reading the Quran with its interpretation to understand the meanings of the verses. After two years of effort, Sara began memorizing parts of the Quran and became able to read a surah correctly. She now participates in Quran study workshops for new students and believes that learning Arabic is the key to understanding the Quran and applying its teachings in her life.

3. Yusuf from the United Kingdom
Yusuf, a young British man of Pakistani descent, decided to learn the Quran after feeling spiritual emptiness. He knew some Arabic words but was not able to read the Quran fluently. He started private lessons in classical Arabic at a local mosque, reading the Quran slowly and repeating the verses until he got the correct pronunciation. Over time, Yusuf became better at reading the Quran and gained a deeper understanding of its meanings. Today, Yusuf is considered one of the religious leaders in his local community and teaches the Quran to children and youth in a way that helps them master the language and understand the meanings.

4. Mary from Italy
Mary, an Italian woman who converted to Islam in her early thirties, had always dreamed of learning the Quran in Arabic.

She enrolled in a course to learn Arabic, reading the Quran while searching for interpretations in Italian to connect the words. After some time, she was able to attend religious lessons and participate in discussions in Arabic, which helped her understand the messages of the Quran more deeply. Today, Mary shares her story with others to encourage them to learn the Quran in its original language.
