Assalamu 'alaykum

The following question was answered by Mulla Asgher.

Salaams & Duas,
Ummulbanin Merali - Moderator - 'Aalim Network

*******************************************************************************

QUESTION:

Please verify if Duas eg in the Almanac have to be recited in Arabic, or can
we  read the English translation?  Does reading them in English diminish
their spiritual blessings? My Arabic recitation is not very fluent nor do I
understand the language, does this make any difference to the ruling on this 
matter?  


ANSWER:

The English translation of duas can be read as it does not diminish the
blessings. However, reading in Arabic original, and simultaneously trying to
understand the meaning in any language add to the merit.

Salaams,

Mulla
