In most of the countries where Muslims are the minority and Arabic is not the spoken language, only a small percentage of people know the content of the Qur"an and ponder on the Qur"an as required. As a result, people who are ignorant of the real message of the Qur"an attribute different meanings to it. Many people believe some traditions to have their origin from the Qur"an, although they may be contradictory to the very nature of the Quranic message.
