True that Quran is guidance however its recitation only also carries rewards. It does not mean though that we should not try to understand its message. At least I would find that undermining its purposeful existence and our ignorance of Allah SWT message. A very brief example should explain that the mere recitation also carries rewards. The Muqattat alfaaz i.e. Alif, Laam, Meem etc at the beginning of certain surahs are not known to us in meaning and they were not known to the Sahaba either however they still recited it because it carries rewards for reciting them. Infact there is a hadith about this in Tirmidhi, which I don’t recall though. If anyone remembers it or has the text for it can they please post it.
