And what one requires for its understandingIs Quran a difficult book to understand? Of course, the words ‘easy’ and ‘difficult’ are relative, so what’s easy for one man may be difficult for another. It’s unfortunately true that the layman often makes it difficult for himself by unnecessarily bringing in matters of fiqh (jurisprudence) into his understanding of the Quran, and imposing meanings on it from culture and/or texts other than the Quran. It is this breadth and depth that makes it probably the most difficult book in the world. There’s another group that complains that the Quran is too difficult to understand for ordinary folks.
