Iqbal lamented that Muslims often treat the Quran merely as a ritualistic recitation, devoid of understanding and application. He observes that its use is frequently limited to hastening the passing of a dying person with Surah Yaseen.

He criticizes the lack of focus on implementing its principles and benefiting from its wisdom, reducing a profound source of guidance to a superficial practice. The core message is that the Quran’s potential remains untapped due to a lack of genuine engagement and a failure to integrate its teachings into daily life.
