Why We Need Quran

[nawaz]

Dear All


Majority of today's muslims recite Quran in there routine life. So the


significance of this Holy Book "Quran" is unquestionabe. I therefore


have choosen the subject "why we need Quran" as to post some thing


which i felt we are missing in order to understand Quranic message.


Now the question is " why we need Quran "


Need of the Quran Today:


-----------------------------


I would like to draw the attention of the guys of the Holy Qur'an to a


few social problems creeping clandestinely in our society. It is due


to miscommunication of life style, of values of life to live with on


this planet. This miscommunication prevails throughout our society: in


the family, in the community, between management and employees,


between financial world and the Ministry of Finances, between


government and people. This malfunctioning of communication has


brought some inherent social issues.


The cause of this malfunctioning in the social fabric is quite simple.


For many years, the people in the developed countries worked hard to


(a) restore their countries from the ruins of World War II,


(b)develop the economy and


© build a modern technological state. Whenthey attained this great goal,


they lost much of the motivating force that had knit their nations so tightly together.


Now the present parents being enough affluent had provided their generation homes


,meals, and extras that came to be thought of as basics - audio and


video equipments, software, mobile phones, computers and plenty of


newer technological devices to pursue.


At present this generation of those affluents do not know what kind of


life style to take up. With these basics, they started enjoying their


life sitting in closed rooms. This brought confusion and uncertainty


that has pulled the people further apart and caused a whole raft of


social problems. This consequently made them socially withdrawn


people.


Now these socially withdrawn (32,863: Japanese suicides in 1998, three


times the number of road deaths: Time Vol. 155, No. 19, May 15, 2000)


people find it extremely painful to communicate with the outside


world, and thus they have further turned to the tools: watching


television, playing video games, owning computers, mobile phones, most


of them having no friends - that all bring virtual reality into their


closed rooms and hence brought affliction. This phenomenon is drowning


them in a tsunami of technology, letting them sink even deeper into a


labyrinth of confusion. That is why we feel dire need to bring the


teachings of the Qur'an to the new generation for opening new vistas


of intellectual horizon.


My Question to all my guys is: "On what lines can we come forward for


the remedy of this affliction? And who will come forward for this


purpose? What will be the pragmatic mechanism?" I am immensely


interested to put the best of my potential. I hope our entire


accomplice will reciprocate and suggest ways and means to bring the


Holy Quran to the vision of this new generation's intellect.
