Let's Read The Quran: Let’s Read The Quran 2018 Campaign

Let’s Read The Quran 2018 Campaign

From 1^st March to 31^st March 2018

BACKGROUND

The Let’s Read The Quran campaign was first 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. In 2016, the campaign was taken to the next level with the involvement from the media and with a larger pool of supporters.

This campaign is to encourage people to read the Quran in a language they best understand. It is opened to both Muslims and Non-Muslims. We encourage everyone to join this campaign.

This year, we want to angle the campaign from a different viewpoint. We believe that by getting our contributors to share their stories on how the Quran relates to them helps to inspire others, both Muslims and Non-Muslims, to connect to the Quran too.

Our vision is to make this campaign a biennial effort and after that, it will be a recognized campaign that will spur Muslims and others to read and understand the Quran. We hope Malaysia becomes a leader in encouraging the world to read, understand and appreciate the Quran at the grassroots, too.
