Wow! We need to have very good understanding of Arabic language to understand that article properly.

Understanding and gaining the Knowledge of the Grand Qur'aan
Grand Qur'aan is made easy to understand and comprehend by transcribing it in Arabic-the language of our Guide Lord Muhammad Sal'lallaa'hoalaih'wa'salam and related to Arabian Peninsula.
Our purpose is since restricted to acquire skill for understanding the meanings and perception of the text of Grand Qur'aan, the Grammar-Based Approach is the best suited. The oft repeated disadvantage of this approach is that it requires lots of rote memorization of grammar rules; it can be frustrating, especially at first; and that student is left with very little vocabulary which he or she can begin using straight away.
Grand Qur'aan is the book which is memorized in full by hundreds of thousands of people, regardless of level of education. Therefore, the disadvantage otherwise associated with Grammar-Based Approach regards memorization of rules is not relevant to Grand Qur'aan. The miraculous uniqueness of Qur'aan is that its grammar can be learnt merely by watching certain apparent but distinct and exclusive shapes-features of Words and taking help from "teach yourself" books. The Rules are precise and few in volume in relation to the text of Qur'aan which is so conveniently memorized by thousands. As regards vocabulary of Arabic language, our interest is limited to the vocabulary of Qur'aan. The vocabulary will not pose a problem particularly for Urdu knowing people since majority of words of Qur'aan are already in their use. Moreover, thanks to computer technology, each word is now in access by a click on it. It needs emphasis, however, that each word of the vocabulary of Qur'aan is unique and un-substitutable pearl embedded at its place of occurrence in the text.
The prerequisites are that we know reciting [read aloud or repeat from memory distinctly syllable by syllable] some Unitary Verbal Passages [Aayaat] constituting Miscellany of Qur'aan. Please remember that this is the first step of our Guide Lord in communicating and teaching Qur'aan to people. And that we have a desire, devotion and dedication for sparing time to learn understanding-gaining the Knowledge of Qur'aan simultaneously while reciting its Arabic text. We can obtain the Knowledge of Qur'aan only when we understand Arabic for its "reading"-the process of identifying and understanding the meanings of the characters and words in written text. Listening frequently the Qur'aan while watching the written text will facilitate and quicken the process of acquiring skill in understanding the Lexical and Grammatical aspect of Arabic-the fundamental and inevitable tool for non-Arabs in knowing the Qur'aan.
Let me assure that the day we start understanding and perceiving the contents in our own language, it is a matter of days not months, we will always be in search of time to open and read Qur'aan since we will find it inexhaustible. No reading of it is the final reading-no translation of it is the final and exhaustive translation, and no discussion ever runs it dry. This is one of the features that renders a book great in timeline.
