How To Deeply Understand The Quran
Alhamdulillah. I’ve completed the reading of the whole Maulana Maududi’s Urdu Tarjuma for the first time. Because this was the first time, I read it a bit rough in the beginning without much pondering. But, I’d like to know how can I start once again to understand Quran deeply? What would you recommend?

If you really want to understand the Quran deeply, in my opinion you should learn Arabic.
Others can guide you better on what translations to read meanwhile and in what order but for a truly deep understanding, I think understanding the original text is a must.
Exegeses I would recommend right now are:
1) Maulana Ameen Ahsan’s Tadabbur e Quran
2) Javed Ahmad Ghamidi’s Al-Bayan
3) Muhammad Asad’s The Message of the Quran
In my opinion, you shouldn’t start with Maulana Ameen Ahsan’s Tadabbur e Quran as I feel it is too much for someone just starting pondering over the Quran. Al-Bayan is essentially a briefer version of Tadabbur, so start with that. Start from the beginning where Ghamidi Sahab introduces the Quran. And read The Message of the Quran side by side.
Read Islahi Sahab’s Mabadi e Tadabbur e Quran (which has been printed separately) and Ghamidi Sahab’s Mabadi e Tadabbur Quran (in Meezan) first, however.
I can’t emphasize on Arabic enough, though. These are my two cents. Others can guide you better.

I haven’t watched that course, but if you want I can look into it.
For a free course, try Nouman Ali Khan’s Bayyinah Intensives, these will probably be the best available:
Once you are done with these (40, I think) episodes, you will have a basic understanding of the Arabic language. Not the vocabulary, though. For that, I think the best thing to start off is a word by word translation of the Quran.
That being said, I prefer to learn the basics from books (instead of videos) because I believe books are a faster method. You can learn at your own pace. The books I can recommend are in Urdu, though:
https://kitabosunnat.com/kutub-library/qawaid-zubane-quran-new-edition-1
https://kitabosunnat.com/kutub-library/qawaid-zubane-quran-new-edition-2
It’s in two volumes. If you want a faster read and can put off some things for later, try this:

Congrats on finishing the translation. You r now part of a really small group of Muslims who actually read the book they believe in
I don’t have much to add to the above comments but few words from personal experience
We all feel an awe when we first read the Quran with understanding. We really want to dig deep in this ocean. My advice to u is hold off and ask why do u want to do it? Your reason will define what pathyou should take.
If u want to increase in guidance then keep reading translation, memorize as much as u can. Read it in prayer and Slowly Quran will start to speak to u in ur daily life. Make it a daily habit to read certain amount like 2 Rukus daily with understanding.
For daily reading Ghamidi sahab’s translation is very good. Abu Yahya’s audio lectures for the whole Quran is also amazing. Taqi Usmani sahab’s translation is also very good.
Share ur insights with family and friends. Don’t criticize but motivate others to learn. Remain a student and don’t be a judge.
