Subject:	Wajib of Quran in Arabic?
Question:	I don't know how to read or speak Arabic, so i read the Quran in English, but is it obligatory to read the Quran in Arabic?
Answer:	Reciting in Arabic is essential in the prayer. Whoever does not know how to do so, should learn reciting in Arabic during the prayer. Other than the prayer, reciting the holy book in Arabic is recommended and not obligatory.
