If I am not mistaken about the number there are between 10 to 15 million Hafiz (Quran memorizer) in the world: This by itself is a MAJOR SIGN for those who actually can think about it. How can they? Why? What makes them? Can anyone bring a similar analogy for ANOTHER book being memorized by just 100 people, or say even less 10 people memorizing a comparable length book??
Allah (C.C) has made Quran EASY to memorize and mentions that fact in Quran itself. I myself have witnessed a couple of little children (age ~7) that has completely memorized Quran and reciting it during Ramadan at a Mosque. As such, Allah has created us with many amazing and amply capabilities and catered us precisely for what we need in this life and our duties.
In order to pray, at a minumum, one has to memorize the chapter Al Fatiha ( which would take less than half a minute to recite ) and just a few more similar length verses. To learn the meaning of these verses together beside memorizing it would not take too much effort and time. Allah wants easiness for us not hardship. Allah tells us to recite what is easy from it. Thus the amount of effort to learn how to properly pray in Arabic is indeed very insignificant compared to capabilities we have been bestowed upon.
Secondly Quran is exactly Allah's divine word, but the translation it not. There might be similar but different translations for the same verse and besides as we know something always gets lost in translation from one language to another. What if that translator did not properly get what Allah meant in the verse?
Thirdly the message in Quran is POWERFUL but so magnificent is the DELIVERY of the message. The beauty and eloquence of the Quran is so high ,the Arabic Quran is the best literature present in the world.
In Quran, Allah asks those who reject Quran to bring something comparable to just a small portion of Quran if they can and seek whatever help while doing it. And tells that they will never be able to do that! When a very good reciter recites, it becomes mesmerizing to even those who do not understand its meaning; people literally cry listening to it. This is also one of the many paths that Christians and others take towards Islam, they hear some recitation of Quran and the journey starts there...
Finally, Quran itself is the foremost miracle that has been given to our beloved prophet Hz.Muhammed (sav). Other prophets have been given other miracles what Allah has ordained for them (Hz. Iysa, Hz. Musa, Hz Yusuf, etc ). So we should treat Quran as the miracle it is...
