How many muslim know Quaran?
From the 7 billion of the global population 1.5 billion are Muslims.
From here, please don’t give importance to the absolute value of the numbers because it is sure that I am wrong. However pay attention only for the rates and context. If we look at the deep knowledge of Quran, about 5 million knows It. 4.5 of them are Jews, Christians or non-religious researchers, or others who are interested. The rest 500 thousand are Muslims who have no effect on communication.
The millions of Hafizs among Muslims who memorized Quran without comprehending its meaning, I exclude them from my statistics as Quran knowers. I also exclude those millions who understand Arabic however, they cannot place the Quranic verses in the right contexts. Therefore, they quote them up and down even if they make interpretations wrongly. I exclude the millions of followers of different Islamic organizations as well. They keep alive a movement and ignore Quran. The most radicals of them like ISIS have executed massively scholars and thinkers because radicalism and Islamic thinking are incompatible.
So, we can see that the deep meaning of Quran doesn’t reach to masses of Muslims. However, the majority of those who understand Quran are not followers of Islam. Among them are those who feel sympathy with Islam but they keep distance from the chaos what exists between Muslims. And among them are those, too, who create, maintain and increase the chaos using the ignorance of Muslims.
Our job: we have to comprehend Quran!
