Salam aleikum brothers and sisters, so i recently have started trying to read the Quran in arabic as opposed to the translation, i thought id forgotten how to read arabic but i actually haven't (Alhamdoulilah!) thing is i have difficulty understanding the actual arabic. So what iv been doing is reading the Arabic then reading a translation. My question is will i still gain hasanat/ajr for that?
Re: Reading Quran in arabic with english translation?
Al-hamdulilah that you can read it in Arabic. Insha-Allah you will get the rewards for it if your intention is to get close to Allah Azza wa Jal even if you just read it in any language. Because the niyyah reaps the fruits. And I am an example of that because Allah opened my heart to Islam from me just reading the Quran in the English translation with an open mind and a heart that was looking for the Truth. And Allah Knows Best.

You get the reward of not only reading the Arabic (10 hasanaat for each letter), but also understanding the Qur'an by reading the translation and tafsir. Plus, you can broaden your understanding of the Quran's Arabic by reading both the English and Arabic together.
وَمَنْ أَحْسَنُ قَوْلًا مِّمَّن دَعَا إِلَى اللَّـهِ وَعَمِلَ صَالِحًا وَقَالَ إِنَّنِي مِنَ الْمُسْلِمِينَ
~ And who is better in speech than someone who calls to God, and acts with integrity, and says, “I am of those who submit”?
