Muslims don't bother to read and understand the Quran
It is found in different surveys that Muslims don't bother to read the Holy Quran. Even the people who called themselves professionals are often found illiterate as far as the quranic teachings are concerned.
Many Muslims have a misconception regarding the Holy Qur'an that this is the burden or duty for which only the Ulemas are responsible.
Economic Factor
Economic factor is playing a vital role in man's life today. It is said that many Muslims are only concerned and engaged to earn their bread and butter. Those who are free from such financial clutches have their different schedules excluding the Quranic Teachings.
The organizer of this programme is familiar with this fact. It is the time for prize-worthy programmes as can be seen on TV channels. However, they are totally commercialised while ours is a programme purely for Dawah purpose.
