Answer Hi Mohideen

The Quran is God's Word and God intended it to be a message for all mankind, to be read and understood by all people. You can read the Quran in whatever language you prefer.
Language Is Not A Barrier
The first point of contention in the study of the Quran typically is language. Many of the 1 billion people who want to uphold the Scripture have been informed that the Quran can only be recited or studied in Arabic and that any translation will not give the proper meaning. The flip-side is that these same appointed scholars will then tell the Arabic speakers that the Quran is 'too difficult' for them to understand and that they should leave its understanding to the experts!
Of course, the Quran itself says that language is not a barrier to its understanding as God is the One who is making it understood to people who open their hearts to Him.
"And had We made it a non-Arabic Quran, they would have said: 'If only its verses were made clear!' Non-Arabic and Arabic, Say: 'For those who believe, it is a guide and healing. As for those who disbelieve, there is a deafness in their ears, and they are blind to it. These will be called from a place far away.'" (Quran 41:44)
God's Book is unlike any other book on Earth as it is subject to His system and laws, which state that only the sincere/pure will be allowed understanding (not the language or qualifications or expertise of the reader).
"This is an honourable Quran. In a protected record. None can grasp it except those pure. A revelation from the Lord of the worlds." (Quran 56:77-80)
Hope this helps. And remember that hadiths are NOT a part of Islam and were not authorised by God. God's Word, the Quran is enough as a source of guidance and is the only book God revealed to Muhammad.
