The Quran was revealed in Arabic. But no matter what language is your native tongue

The Quran is the critical teaching of Islam. If it were true
that the Quran could only be read in Arabic, how would any
non-Arabic speaking person become a Muslim? Yes, someone
can tell you what the Quran says, but nothing has the awesome
splendor and power of God’s words themselves in your own
language.
In fact, the following verses indicate that translating the
Quran is necessary:
If we revealed this to people who do not know Arabic.
And had him recite it (in Arabic), they could not possibly
believe in it. We thus render it (like a foreign language)
in the hearts of the guilty.
(Quran 26:198-200)
From this it seems clear that the language you speak is not
important. If you speak the most impeccable Arabic, but are
not open to guidance, the Quran will be as if it were written in
a foreign language. The next verse shows that whether or not
the Quran was revealed in Arabic, it is a guide and a healing
for the believers, and will mean nothing to the disbelievers.
If we made it a non-Arabic Quran they would have said,
“Why did it come down in that language?”
Whether it is Arabic or non-Arabic, say, “For those who believe,
it is a guide and healing. As for those who disbelieve, they will be
deaf and blind to it, as if they are being addressed from faraway.”
(Quran 41:44)
The Quran was revealed in Arabic. But no matter what language
is your native tongue, if it is meant to be your scripture
it will speak to your heart whatever translation you are reading. God will teach
you through any translation.
