Understanding the literal meaning

What is the single most advantage a non Arabic speaking muslim have while attempting to learn the Quranic Grammar ?
The single most advantage is that, usually a large number of Muslims already know how to read/ recite the Quran. The words are familiar, so, they are already one step ahead in learning a new language. Another advantage is, Arabic language and scripts are very systematic and visual, that aids the new learner. -->

What is the role of a "translating language" in learning the language of the Quran?
The role of the "translating language" is very temporary. At the initial stage, while learning a new language we need the help of a known language to act as a medium. But, once we grasp the new language, we do not need the help of the "translating language".
As for example, those who speak and understand a foreign language fluently, do not need the help of the mother language to interpret or to understand the second language.
Here, we will use English as the "translating language" to create a bridge to the language of the Quran. Very soon, inshallah, one will find travelling around the language and grammar of the
Holy Quran is not that tough.

Did you ever hear that it is impossible to translate the Quran? How valid is the statement?
The statement is correct.
"The Qur'an al-karim cannot be translated into any language, even into Arabic. It is impossible to translate any poem into its own language precisely. It can only be explained, interpreted. We should not read the Qur'an's translation in order to understand it. To understand the meaning of an ayat means to understand what Allahu ta'ala means through this ayat. A person who reads a translation of this ayat cannot learn murad-i ilahi (the divine purpose). He learns what the translator has understood according to his level of knowledge."The above quote taken from the translation of TAM ILMIHAL Se'adet-i EBEDIYYE: Chapter 25.

Therefore, in this website we are just creating a bridge to land in the world of the Quran.

Study Methodologies

What are diffent phases at Quranmadeeasy.com?
The first phase is known as "Salatee". If you do not know the meaning of Salatee, you may know it through this website.
Salatee (phase-1): At this phase, users will work with the frequently used suras and duas that are used in the 5 time prayers. Through 10-12 suras, users are expected to understand the bulk of the entire grammar.
Phase 2: Suras of last juz will be used here. Very minimal grammar as new material. Users will be expected to reinforce their skill that they learnt at Phase-1.
Phase 3: Sura Rahman
Phase 4: Rest of Suras

The website explains a single sura at a time. What does that mean?
This website takes a sura and explains all the grammatical expressions that were found in that sura. After it moves to the next sura - anything that is new is explained. Thus, it will try to give a complete understanding for one sura at a time and also build a grammar reserve for the user. As a result, the user will be incrementally exposed to the Quranic Grammar.The website explains grammar using the model, "Supply and Demand". What does that mean?
As explained earlier -->

What is the study methodology?
"Learn By Example" - is the study methodology. As worked-out math problem teaches math elements, here, users are expected to learn the new grammatical terms from the suras.
Again, at the section, "Applying into Verses", members will have the chance to test their understanding.

Why memorization is discouraged?
