Receive Your Free Quran
With Roman Urdu Translation

For over a billion Muslims worldwide, the Quran is the most sacred text in existence. Yet for millions of South Asian Muslims and their diaspora communities across the globe, a significant barrier stands between them and the direct words of Allah — the Arabic script itself.

The Challenge of Arabic Script

While Arabic is the language of the Quran, the vast majority of Muslims are not native Arabic speakers. In countries like India, Pakistan, and Bangladesh, Urdu is widely spoken, but a growing number of people — particularly younger generations — are more comfortable reading in Roman script (the Latin alphabet used for English) than in traditional Nastaliq Urdu script.

This creates a painful disconnect: a Muslim who speaks Urdu fluently may still struggle to read the Urdu translation of the Quran because they cannot read the script confidently. They understand the language, but the script is a barrier.

What is Roman Urdu?

Roman Urdu is simply the Urdu language written using the Latin alphabet. It's the same language — the same words, the same meaning — but written in a script that anyone who has learned English can read. It's widely used in everyday communication: WhatsApp messages, social media posts, and text messages between South Asian friends and families are frequently written in Roman Urdu.

The Impact on Quran Reading

When the Quran is presented with Roman Urdu translation, something remarkable happens. People who have never been able to read a Quran translation in their lives suddenly find themselves reading and understanding ayah after ayah. The barrier disappears. The meaning flows directly into their hearts.

Our mission at Get Free Quran is rooted in this insight. By distributing the Quran with Roman Urdu translation — completely free — we have witnessed firsthand how this simple change transforms the relationship people have with Allah's words.

A Bridge, Not a Replacement

It's important to understand that Roman Urdu translation is a stepping stone, not a destination. We always encourage readers to also learn to recite the Quran in its original Arabic — there is immense barakah in that. But for understanding, for connecting with the meaning, Roman Urdu opens a door that was previously closed for millions.

If you or someone you know has been struggling to connect with the Quran because of script barriers, request your free copy today. May Allah make it a source of light and guidance for you and your family.

In Islam, one of the most beloved acts of worship is Sadaqah Jariyah — a continuous charity whose reward continues flowing to the giver even after their death. And few acts of Sadaqah Jariyah are as profound as sharing the Book of Allah.

The Hadith That Inspires Us

This hadith of the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ is the heartbeat of our mission. When we place a copy of the Quran in someone's hands, and that person reads it, understands it, and begins to practice Islam — every good deed they do carries a portion of reward for those who made that moment possible.

What Scholars Say About Quran Distribution

Islamic scholars throughout history have emphasised that gifting the Quran is among the highest forms of giving. Ibn al-Qayyim wrote that the heart finds its nourishment in the Quran just as the body finds nourishment in food — and to give someone this nourishment is an act of extraordinary mercy.

When a grandmother in Karachi opens her Quran for the first time in decades because she can finally read the translation in Roman Urdu — that moment of reconnection with Allah is something that echoes through eternity.

Your Role in This Chain of Goodness

By requesting a free Quran, you are not just receiving a book. You are participating in a chain of goodness that stretches from our hands to your home, and from your home to everyone whose life you touch. Share the Quran with a family member, a neighbour, a colleague. Each reading is a ripple of light in the world.

"The best of you are those who learn the Quran and teach it." — Bukhari

We ask Allah to accept this humble effort from us and from you. May every copy of the Quran we distribute become a source of Sadaqah Jariyah for all involved — Ameen.

Whether you have just taken your Shahada, are exploring Islam with an open heart, or simply want to reconnect with the Quran after years away — beginning can feel overwhelming. Where do you start? How do you approach this sacred text? This guide is for you.

Begin with Bismillah

Every surah of the Quran (except one) begins with the same words: Bismillah ir-Rahman ir-Raheem — "In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful." Before you read, say these words. They are a beginning, a blessing, and a reminder that you are entering sacred territory with Allah's permission and grace.

Start with Surah Al-Fatiha

Al-Fatiha, the Opening, is the first chapter of the Quran and the most recited chapter in Islam — it is read in every unit of every prayer. Its seven ayahs contain the essence of the entire Quran: praise of Allah, acknowledgement of His mercy, and a humble request for guidance. Read it slowly. Read its translation. Sit with it.

Don't Rush — Read for Understanding

Many new readers make the mistake of trying to read as much as possible as quickly as possible. The Quran is not meant to be consumed — it is meant to be contemplated. The Arabic word for reciting the Quran — Tarteel — literally means to recite slowly and carefully. Even a few ayahs read with full understanding and presence is infinitely more valuable than pages read without comprehension.

Use a Translation You Can Actually Read

This is exactly why we distribute the Quran with Roman Urdu translation. If you are an Urdu speaker who is more comfortable reading in Roman script, this translation removes the last barrier between you and Allah's words. Read the Arabic, then read the Roman Urdu translation, and let the meaning sink into your heart.

Establish a Daily Habit

Even five minutes of Quran reading every day — after Fajr, before sleep, or during a quiet moment — will transform your spiritual life over time. Consistency is more valuable than intensity. Make it a non-negotiable part of your day, like eating or sleeping.

"Recite the Quran, for it will come as an intercessor for its reciters on the Day of Resurrection." — Muslim

May Allah make your journey with the Quran one of joy, growth, and closeness to Him. It is never too late to begin — and the best time to start is now.

When we began this journey, we had no idea what to expect. We simply believed that if we placed the Quran in people's hands — completely free, with no conditions — Allah would do the rest. Alhamdulillah, He did far more than we imagined.

Reaching 1,000 distributed copies felt like a milestone worth pausing to reflect on. Not to celebrate ourselves — but to share some of the stories that reminded us why this work matters.

A Grandmother in Karachi

One of our earliest requests came from a woman in her late sixties from Karachi. She had been a practising Muslim her entire life but had never been able to read the Urdu translation of the Quran because she had never learned Urdu script. Her granddaughter helped her fill out the request form. When the Quran arrived, she reportedly sat and read for three hours without stopping — understanding the words of Allah in her own language for the very first time.

A Revert in London

A young man who had recently taken his Shahada in London reached out to us. He spoke Urdu at home but had only ever learned to read in English. He told us that receiving our Quran was the moment his faith truly became his own — because he could finally read what he was reciting in prayer and understand every word.

A Teacher in Bangladesh

A school teacher requested multiple copies to distribute among her students — young people who were enthusiastic about Islam but found classical Arabic and Urdu script daunting. She told us that class discussions about the Quran became richer and more engaged after the students received their copies.

"I got the Roman Quran with Translation at my home. Free of cost. They did not even take delivery charges. Packing was also very good." — Techie Hamad, Google Review

What 1,000 Means to Us

Each of those 1,000 copies represents a home blessed with the Book of Allah. It represents conversations sparked, prayers understood more deeply, and hearts moved closer to their Creator. And if each copy reaches even two people — that is 2,000 lives touched by the light of the Quran.

We ask Allah to accept this effort and to continue to make it a source of guidance for all who receive these books. Jazak Allah Khair to everyone who has supported and shared this initiative.

One of the most profound dimensions of the Quran is its relationship with the natural world. At a time when much of humanity had little scientific understanding of the cosmos, the Quran contained descriptions of natural phenomena that modern science would take centuries to confirm. This is not coincidence — it is one of the signs of divine authorship.

The Expanding Universe

This verse, revealed over 1,400 years ago, describes the universe as continuously expanding — a fact confirmed by modern astronomy only in the 20th century, when Edwin Hubble observed that galaxies are moving away from each other.

The Water Cycle

The Quran describes rain as falling in precise, measured quantities — a description that aligns perfectly with the hydrological cycle, where the same water is continuously evaporated, condensed, and returned to earth in exact amounts.

The Formation of Humans

Surah Al-Mu'minun describes the stages of human embryonic development in extraordinary detail — from a drop of fluid to a clinging clot to a lump of flesh to bones clothed with flesh — stages that embryologists have only been able to observe and describe with modern equipment. The Quran described them with stunning accuracy over a millennium before the microscope existed.

A Book That Invites Reflection

The Quran does not ask us to check our intellect at the door. Quite the opposite — it repeatedly calls on us to observe, reflect, and reason. The word "Afala ta'qiloon?" — "Will you not reason?" — appears throughout the Quran, inviting us to use our minds as tools of faith, not obstacles to it.

"Indeed, in the creation of the heavens and the earth and the alternation of the night and the day are signs for those of understanding." — Ali 'Imran 3:190

The Quran is a book of guidance — but it is also a book of signs. Each verse an invitation to look more deeply at the world Allah has created and to see His wisdom and power woven into every atom of existence.

Ramadan is the holiest month in the Islamic calendar — and its relationship with the Quran is inseparable. The Quran itself tells us that it was in Ramadan that it was first revealed. This makes Ramadan the perfect time to deepen your connection with Allah's book.

The Tradition of Khatm al-Quran

Many Muslims aim to complete the entire Quran during Ramadan — a practice called Khatm al-Quran. The Quran has 30 Juz (parts), making it perfectly divisible across the 30 days of Ramadan. Even one Juz per day — roughly 20 pages — is achievable with consistency and intention.

A Practical Daily Routine

The most sustainable approach is to attach Quran recitation to your existing Ramadan routine. Read after Fajr, when the world is quiet and your mind is fresh. Read a few pages before Iftar, when the day's fast has cultivated a sense of spiritual receptivity. Read before Taraweeh to prepare your heart for prayer.

Reading with Understanding

Completing the Quran in Ramadan is a beautiful goal — but reading with understanding is even more transformative. Use a translation alongside the Arabic. With Roman Urdu translation, Urdu speakers can read both simultaneously, allowing the meaning to flow naturally as they recite.

"Whoever reads a letter of the Quran will have a reward, and a good deed is multiplied by ten." — Tirmidhi

In Ramadan, the rewards are multiplied further still. Every letter you read, every moment of contemplation, every tear that falls as you understand an ayah — all of it is counted by Allah, who sees and knows everything.

Beyond Ramadan

The goal is not to have a Ramadan Quran routine and a non-Ramadan life. Use Ramadan as the launch pad for a lifelong relationship with the Quran. Start the habit in Ramadan, and nurture it every day of the year. The Prophet ﷺ loved those who were consistent — even if their deeds were small.

May Allah grant us all the tawfeeq to recite, understand, and live by the Quran — in Ramadan and beyond. Ameen.
