I want to share with you people my experience. You see when I was a little boy me and my family were transferred to Ghana, Africa. And in Africa, Islam's teaching wasn't as good as back in my native homeland, Malaysia. There wasn't much Arabic classes or Quran classes in Africa. And if there were, it wasn't as good as the ones in Malaysia. I mean in Ghana, I only went to Quran classes like twice a week and I don't even know if what the ustad taught me was right or wrong. For 3 years, this went on

Until I came back to Malaysia, everything changed. When I went to school there were Islam Education and the text book they use are in Jawi (Arabic writtings but language in Malay). I couldn't read! I was so shameful. Not only that but when I went to Quran recital classes, all of the tajwid and the pronounciations I got it all wrong. I was so ashame given the fact that most of my 12 year old friends already know how to read the Quran.

But then I went to classes. I read the Quran every night from Monday to Thursday and on Saturdays and Sundays, I have Jawi and Fardhu Ain classes. My advice is that go find a teacher or somesort. Yes you can learn the Quran by yourself but are you learning it correctly? The pronounciations must be correct. Go find a tutor and he/she can help you to improve your reading. That's what I did and alhamdulillah I can now read the Quran fluently.
