“It is important that in learning parts of the Qur’ān you must clearly understand the meaning. If you recite parts of the Qur’ān, certain words must represent to you a concept. If you study the Qur’ān-e-Sharif, this concept will become well known to you and through you, to the Jamat at large. This takes many years of study. I do not want you to think that this can be learnt easily or without hard work.”
