I agree with your sentiments for the importance of understanding Al-Qur’an Al-Majeed … Can anyone say they fully understand it? I hope no one is that arrogant … not even the biggest scholars. I was particularly drawn to your claim:

The reason why people grow up as institutionalized worshipers and not spiritual individuals is because of this dichotomy - (i.e. the fact that they know the Qur’an off by heart and do not understand it).

What this claim is saying is that “No institutionalized worshipers are spiritual individuals”, please clarify is this what you really mean? Do you really believe that institutionalizing worshipers removes their ability to be spiritual? Or more fully are you saying that hifzulQur’an without meaning actively removes being spiritual?

That is exactly what I mean Psyah. Being an institutionalized worshiper keeps you away from the true love of God and you become a “Lakeer Ka Fakeer”. That is the reason why we have hatred among Shai/Sunni. People get up and start killing each other because someone said something wrong about their “sect”. People have lost respect and love for their religion. People have forgotten how to be tolerate each other. Firkha baazi is rampant and that is due to the fact that people do not understand the core meaning of the Quran.
