I'm reading the transcription and realizing just how differently these lines sounded when I was a kid. I wonder, do many people nowadays try to learn surahs in translation, to really feel the meaning more deeply?
Memorizing Surah Al-Fatiha during Ramadan (transcription + translation)
Starting today, we're sharing short surahs from the Holy Quran that you can learn during Ramadan. And, of course, first up we suggest revisiting Surah Al-Fatiha.

I noticed that too. As a kid, I just repeated after my parents, but now you really live through every word. Translation genuinely changes the whole perception.
Alhamdulillah, sister, you hit the nail on the head. I started studying with tafsir, and it’s like I rediscovered the Quran all over again. Especially the short surahs-there are so many layers of meaning in them.
With the short surahs, yes, I spent a month going through Al-Ikhlas with tafsir, and the kind of depth that opened up there - I'm still trying to take it all in. Every word is a whole universe.
I'm going through the same thing. I used to think I understood everything, but with translation it's like the veil just lifted. Curious, which surah did you start with?
SubhanAllah
Masha Allah

I remember my grandma always used to say, "Meaning should be in the heart, not just on the tongue." Now I get what she meant. Gotta learn to translate-it's a must.
