Kids and new Muslims should learn the meanings behind Quran verses, not just recite them phonetically.

Hey everyone, I've been a Muslim for over ten years now since my shahaadah, and I picked up Arabic as an adult. Over time, I've noticed something that worries me. There's a common practice in many communities where the focus is purely on reciting the Quran correctly by sound, without really understanding the words. I'm not saying kids or newcomers need to be experts in Arabic grammar or speak fluently before memorizing verses. But I think it's important that they learn the basic meanings of each word as part of their memorization. Teachers should also be ready to explain sentence structures when someone gets confused. Honestly, I believe word meanings should be introduced early, maybe even when they're using books like Ahsanul Qawaaid or Nooraniyyah, as letters start forming words. Sure, this might take a bit more time, but quality definitely beats quantity. Let's make our learning deeper and more meaningful.
