Let’s Read The Quran 2016 Campaign
From 1st March to 31st March 2016
BACKGROUND
The Let’s Read The Quran campaign was initiated in 2009 by a group of friends. We received good traction and participation during the campaign where more than 50 bloggers carried our logo and articles.
This
campaign is to encourage people to read the Quran in a language they
understand. It is not confined to Muslims. We encourage everyone to join this
campaign.
In
2016, we want to bring the campaign to a larger audience and take it a notch
higher. We are outlining many interesting activities to attract and excite people
to read the Quran. While centered in Malaysia, we plan to make the campaign
known internationally.
Our
vision is to make this campaign an annual effort and after that, it will be a
recognized campaign that will spur Muslims and others to read and understand the
Quran.
While today Malaysia leads in the Tilawah Al-Quran
competition, we hope Malaysia becomes a leader in encouraging the world to
read, understand and appreciate the Quran at the grassroots, too.
VISION
To make the Quran read and understood.
MISSION / WHY?
1. To democratize the Quran
2. To make every Muslim a student of the Quran
