Apparently saying that you don't have to have the Qur'an memorised cover to cover in order to be a solid Talib 'ilm is "destroying the aspirations of students and causing confusion to the beginning student in his methodology of pursuing knowledge".

I'd say some of the statements in that thread are what destroys the aspirations of new students.
Imagine X who just got off the roads at 25 and wants to seek knowledge and he's told you cannot become a Talib 'Ilm or do anything until you've memorised the Quran cover to cover.

The beginning student is of varying levels. A 7 year old beginner is not the same as a 26 year old beginner. A person who grew up surrounded by ilm is not like one who grew up surrounded by sin and misguidance and who has only just come to the truth
Painting them all with the same brush of "You can't do anything until you've memorised the Qur'an cover to cover" is unwise and impractical.
