humungous MYTH: Qur'an is difficult to learn!

بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم

The Qur'an is our guide in life, and the road map which leads straight to Jannah. Allah sent it to mankind as a whole, so why would He make it difficult?!?!

{وَلَقَدْ يَسَّرْنَا الْقُرْآَنَ لِلذِّكْرِ فَهَلْ مِنْ مُدَّكِرٍ}

Allah repeatedly reminds us that the Qur'an has been made easy and straightforward to learn. Subhan Allah, if you think about it, that is SUCH a true fact, and afterall, the Qur'an is all based on true facts, that, if you ponder in life and the verses in the Qur'an you will be amazed as to how accurate the verses are.

Compare the language of the Qur'an to english for example...! English is one of those languages that, I feel, are sort of a mean conspiracy. All the ambiguity in spelling, inconsistencies, and 'exceptions' make it more difficult to learn. For example: though, tough, trough, through....! Come on now! Think of all the time 'wasted' in teaching people English, just because of all these nuisances, and this proves the verse {ولو كان من عند غير الله لوجدوا فيه اختلافا كثيرا} as there is alot of 'ikhtilaf' in these languaes.

Alhamdulilah that words in Arabic sound exactly how they are written. If you want to relieve your students just remind them of that! There are no tricks... وَلَقَدْ يَسَّرْنَا الْقُرْآَنَ لِلذِّكْرِ فَهَلْ مِنْ مُدَّكِرٍ

Moreso, those early muslim generations made it even easier for us, by adding dots and 'harakat', and signals as to when to stop in verses and such helpful hints, alhamdulilah.

This all proves that the Qur'an is truly divine, and that Allah is truly merciful towards us, and we praise Him for making the Qur'an easy for all ages and tongues!
