My Journey to Truly Understand the Quran

Assalamu alaikum, everyone. I’m a Pakistani Muslim, and recently I finished listening to the full tafsir of the Quran by Dr. Israr Ahmed. It was eye-opening, but now I want to go deeper and actually understand what I read when I recite. I can read Arabic, but I don’t get the meaning of most words, even though a few sound familiar. I feel kind of embarrassed because I’m about to step into adulthood, yet I still don’t know what the Quran says or what it asks of me. That void hit harder after the tafsir, and now I’m eager to learn. The thing is, I can’t go to a madrasah or any local classes, so I have to manage from home. I can spare about 30 to 50 minutes daily for listening to Quran recitation. I’m not the best at studying, so I’m looking for recommendations for a scholar on YouTube who can teach Quranic understanding in Urdu or English-someone simple and clear. Any help would mean a lot. JazakAllah khair.

Don't be embarrassed, man. At least you're seeking knowledge now. Try Bayyinah Institute's Arabic with Husna course, it’s designed to understand Quranic Arabic directly.

Brother, I felt the same way after my first tafsir. Check out Nouman Ali Khan's Dream Big series on YouTube he explains ayahs simply in English.

Bro, I was just like you. Then I found 'Learn Quranic Arabic Quickly' playlist by FreeQuranEducation. Concise, no fluff, perfect for busy schedules.

Honestly, the fact you're worried shows iman. Start with Juz 30, short surahs, use a word-for-word Quran app. 30 minutes daily is perfectly fine.

Feeling that void is a sign of hidayah. In addition to scholars, try listening to Quran while reading translation side-by-side. Slow and steady wins.
