Many understand dua because duas are relatively easy to translate. Children may have a general idea of some suras such as Sura Fatiha and the kuhls or other short or memorable suras. As a child I remember learning the meaning behind a few suras I was taught because sometimes there was a story attached to it. We were told the stories. But do children understand the entire Quran? No. They continue to study it hopefully throughout their lives, though, and their understanding improves with time. Even children who are hafiz may not know every word they memorized. But what is the relevance of not knowing every single word in the Quran? If they knew every single word, their faith would be even stronger.  They may be less terrorism in the world if every Muslim studied the Quran as God/Allah intended. But is their faith lacking? Despite knowing only the meaning of a few suras, their knowledge and faith is still remarkably strong.

The study of Quranic Arabic is a longterm endeavor. [/quote]
The relevance of knowing every single word in the Quran is that you argued it is incumbent on all Muslims to study the Quranic Arabic and added that millions of children all over the world are doing just that. I countered that these children may be able to recite Quran from memory without understanding the meaning of that word, so them being able to do so is not in any way an indication of understanding Quranic Arabic. It was not about making their faith stronger since that was never a part of the argument.[/quote]
