I am scared of dajjal, but I can't recite Qur'an!

[Mustafa16]

I can't recite surat al kahf every friday! I read INCREDIBLY slow...it would take me hours........not to mention i suffer from severe waswasa......and i dont know proper tajweed......i forgot some of the rules.....
like if a letter is above the letters, or if certain letters end if a binding circle (forgot name) that combine two sounds it makes a different sound, etc.

i came across this fatwa by islamqa.info

Does listening to Soorat al-Kahf on Friday bring the same reward as that of the one who reads it?

Published Date: 2015-02-20

Praise be to Allah.
The reward that results from reading Soorat al-Kahf on Friday is only mentioned for the one who reads the soorah on that day. The Prophet (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) said: “Whoever reads Soorat al-Kahf on Friday, Allah will bestow upon him light between those two Fridays.” Narrated by al-Bayhaqi; classed as saheeh by Shaykh al-Albaani (may Allah have mercy on him) in Saheeh al-Jaami‘.
It is well-known that the one who listens to a soorah is not regarded as having read it. Based on that, if a person wants the reward that is mentioned in the hadith, then he has to read Soorat al-Kahf, and it is not enough just to listen to it.
But if a person cannot read Qur’an well, so he listens to it being recited by someone else, seeking the reward that has been mentioned for that, then there is the hope that he will have the same reward as the one who reads it, because of his good intention and doing what he is able to do.



In the answer to question no. 10700 we have quoted the hadiths that speak of the virtue of reading Soorat al-Kahf. Please refer to this question for more information.
And Allah knows best





Does that mean that I can listen to it and earn the same reward , it wasn't clear....

[azc]

Verily the one who recites the Qur’an beautifully, smoothly, and precisely, he will be in the company of the noble and obedient angels. And as for the one who recites with difficulty, stammering or stumbling through its verses, then he will have TWICE that reward.”[Al-Bukhari and Muslim]

See, i jusy read it. I also read it in english so its not the same. I do think it depends on ur niyyah tho, like Allah knows our intentions and we may be rewarded for them.

I think it means u can still gain some rewards/ hasanat. Just keep your intentions clean and you're good
