What is the point in memorising it? Especially if they don't understand what they learnt?

Why would you want to memorize an entire book? Would that make you a spiritual person? Not necessarilly. In fact, I can see at least two potential downsides of this.
First, you could easily be susceptibe to spiritual pride for achieving such an act or being part of a religion that requires this. Second, you might be susceptible to rigidly following the doctrine you memorized.
Of course, not memorizing a book doesn't make you spiritual either.
What makes you spiritual is that you internalize the teachings you have been given and use them as a springboard to find and internalize the next level of teaching on the path to God.
It's not what you read or believe that's important. It's who you are and your willingness to grow that is the key to true spirituality,

Simply memorizing a holy book does not mean that the person is any more holy than another, or can understand it better than the person who simply studies it, for it is not just the words contained therein, but rather, the understanding of of those words, and the spiritual actions of the individual in their daily life that is the gage of importance.

Well I am hindu and our target is not to Xerox a copy in brain but to understand taste of it.
We have Bhagavat Gita (700 Verses), Srimad Bhagavatam ( 12 Volumes), 4 Vedas, 108 Upnishads, Bio graphy of every God.
Which one cud u have "Memorized" if u wud had been hindu?
Plus, dont u think learning essence is the purpose we serve our religion?

St. John Chrysostom memorized the entire bible (a text about five times as long as the Quran) before Mohammed was even born.

Memorizing a book, even a holly book, does not make a person good, you know. And it's goodness one has the right to feel good about, not an object of mechanical memorization.

If every Nazi memorized "Mein Kampf" without any mistake, and I mean without any mistake...would that make them right?
I have no desire to memorize the Holy Quran nor the Bible nor every Stephen King novel...but so what?

I have the entire (what you call) Old Testement committed to memory in the original and english. Makes it quicker to look things up.
The few muslims that I've met who memorised the quran have no idea what the words mean; to them it is just a whole lot of mumbo-jumbo

if muslims know their Quran well, then why there r so many wars and terrorist attacks from their side? does the Holy book teach it? aren't they supposed not to kill even an insect?
now tell me, what's the use of memorizing it if everyone interprets it in his own way to justify himself?

I have a lot of the King James version of the bible memorized and I knew several people who could quote any scripture you asked them. One in particular was my Grandfather.... he pastored my church for sixty five yrs.
