What about Western believers who do not know how to chant? Do our words
have the same effect or should we learn to chant? Can one chant in
English or does it require the original language?
I don't know exactly, but I have seen the Iranian friends who try to learn the English translation of some prayers, try to chant them somehow. Moreover, beloved Guardian said we may put music on the Writings, with the exception of obligatory prayers, and in this case you may chant them and little by little it will be common among the friends. But, since I've never been abroad for long time, I don't know the nature and manner the friends use out of the Arabic speaking and Persian speaking countries to recite the Writings and Prayers.Faruq
