Its just raising money, usually the food is donated to save costs, hence a lot of money goes to charity. There are some instances where some are a messed up. However the ones i know off invite ulema qaris etc and have a fundraiser

thanks for the reminder, calling qaris and that is even worse because then it becomes like a charity ball which was something that started in the 70's in America, calling pop stars to raise money, band aid and the likes are good examples.

The quraan recitation is simply not for that,
we have strayed from the eccense of islam.
