The Use of Television

THE USE OF TELEVISION use it to present religious programs. Due to the widespread reach of television, the largest audience can be accessed only through this medium. No other medium offers a comparable reach. However, there is another aspect of this issue. It concerns the programs that are currently broadcast on television in the name of Islamic programs. In practice, these programs are not very beneficial. Like other television content, many of these so-called Islamic programs have also been moulded into entertainment. As a result, they become entertainment programs under the label of Islam. It would therefore be correct to say that, in most cases, they are Islamic entertainment rather than genuine Islamic programs. Those who watch television are aware that followers of other religions also use it to introduce their faith. According to my information, Christian programs provide the best example in this regard. In Urdu and several other languages, Christian programs are broadcast daily, and from a technical point of view, they are far superior. It is also well known that Islamic programs are broadcast in every Muslim country. However, according to my observation, very few people watch them. The reason appears to be the poor quality of these programs. I have personally observed this on more than one occasion
