He Recites Incorrectly: Is He Sinning?

Question :

I read the Qur'an often, but I don't know much about the rules of recitation, and so I make many mistakes when I recite; am I sinning?

Answer:

It is an obligation upon every Muslim to learn how to properly utter the recitation of the Qur'an, reciting it as the Messenger of Allah ﷺ did, and as Allah Almighty revealed it to His Messenger ﷺ . In this regard, one should strive as much as one is able. If, only through much repetition and difficulty, can one achieve correct pronunciation, one will be given two. rewards, for the Messenger of Allâh ﷺ said:
"A person who stutters when he reads the Qur'an and finds it difficult has two rewards."

Therefore brother, be patient: repeat a word over and over until you have pronounced it properly, even though this may be difficult for you, because if you follow this advice, you will be rewarded well. And beware of reading the Qur'an quickly, stumbling over the words, not caring about mistakes in pronunciation, for by doing so, you are belittling the Qur'an, which as we know, is Allah's Speech. After having received the Qur'an from Allah Almighty, Jibrils taught it to Muhammad ﷺ , just as he had learned it from Allâh Almighty:
"And truly, this (the Qur'an) is a revelation from the Lord of all that exists, which the trustworthy Ruh (Jibril) has brought down; Upon your heart (O Muhammad) that you may be (one) of the warners, in the plain Arabic language."
