Transliteration represents Arabic text using characters from another language, usually Latin letters, while preserving the original pronunciation as closely as possible. It helps readers pronounce words correctly even if they are not familiar with Arabic script. In the context of the Quran, transliteration allows non-Arabic speakers to read and pronounce Arabic words, making it easier to learn and recite Quranic verses.
While transliteration aids in learning pronunciation, the ultimate goal is to become proficient in reading Arabic.
