Understanding the Quran
\r\nYour understanding of the Qur'an may have various levels and take different forms.
\r\nFirstly, that you comprehend its simple, literal meaning, as when you read a book in a language you know, or as an Arabic-knowing person would understand the Qur'an.
\r\nSuch comprehension must be the bare minimum requirement, the key to all other stages, but it is not enough.
\r\nSecondly, that you find out how the learned have understood it, either by hearing their expositions or reading their exegeses and other sources.
\r\nThirdly, that you study and ponder, on your own, to discover and absorb its meaning.
\r\nFourthly, that you discover its meaning by obeying its messages and by fulfilling the duties and mission that it entrusts to you.
