So for each letter we recite of Qur'an in arabic, the person gets 10 rewards. So if they recited Alif (10 rewards) Laam (10 rewards) Meem (10 rewards) = 30 rewards. Just for 3 letters.



In regard to reading a translation of the Qur'ans meaning, then this is not Qur'an (its just a translation of its meaning i.e. a tafsir) so the reward will not be 10 rewards per letter, but the person will be rewarded for understanding the meaning of the Qur'an.


I've heard this in a fatwa programme on IslamQA.



And Allah knows best.
Jazakallahu Khair for the info
