And what’s wrong with that? As long as a person follows the Quran as well, what is so wrong with keeping it in a high place and keeping it covered? If you want to keep your Quran on the floor, that’s your right, but quit whining then. 
kali bili,
not to make you feel isolated. please see what you are saying and how and why.
none of these rights and respect giving thoughts to Quran-e-Pak can be forcd on anyone.
only those of us who genuinely will respect Quran will do all the good things to it and about it, including to ourselves, once we believe in it as a Letter of Allah swt to us. & ideally, live our lives by it.

Re: Respect for Quran-e-Pak
At times I used to throw my pen on the floor and my mother would become upset with me because she wanted to teach me to respect the pen with which we learn.
Just a clarification.
Quran cannot be read or taken to wash room in its physical book form. But if you have memorized some part of it , then the memorized part can be ricited but only in your brain .
Re: Respect for Quran-e-Pak
i think sara said it all that we r more “linient” with quran
i dont need to argue anymore:chai:
Re: Respect for Quran-e-Pak
^ I didnt’ say that Arabs are disrespectful of Quran, they just don’t put these “desi” traditions of respect on it. In the end it’s everyones’ choice, but you don’t need to give so much nasty attitude towards everyone else who does something differently than you.
Re: Respect for Quran-e-Pak
so wen did i say we r disrespectful??
and plz check post # 16 i think i made clear that it is a desi thing
and btw im not showing attitude :)
keep it clean and up above on a high clean place. keep it covered with its cover. read it when you are clean personally. read the Quran in a clean place. recite it slowly and follow all its hypenations in Arabic. learn the translation of what you read in it.
& for the rights of Quran-e-Pak: recite it with translation, at least twice a year.
share what you know about respect & rights Quaran-e-Pak.
best, Dushwari
I have an objection with the following:
**
keep it clean and up above on a high clean place. - *I realize that you are trying to show respect, but in my opinion, if your it above on a high place, one can forget to read it. Someone lazy like me would not even get up to pick it up from the high place. I would rather keep it right in front of my eyes where I can see it everyday so that I am reminded to read it.
*
keep it covered with its cover - **Again, I realize that you are showing respect but if you keep it all covered up, one can get lazy. However, if it's just on the shelf (just like in Masjids), all you have to do is pick it up and start reciting.
** read it when you are clean personally - **I think you mean touch it when you are clean, because you can read it online even when you are not in wudu state and you can also read it while someone else is touching/reading it.
I understand this desi thing to show extra respect by doing things physically, but I agree with kali Billi that respect should be in our hearts. I think if we keep Quran in a high place wrapped up in a nice ghulaf, we will be inclined to not read it as opposed to if it is right in front of our eyes and ready to be picked up and recited.
Also, there's a website www.asanquran.com and you can subscribe to that website. What they do is that they send you a page daily (you can choose to receive it with translation and you can also subscribe for daily hadith) that you can read and you can also listen to the recitation as the link is in the e-mail. I love that e-mail because someone lazy like me finds it easier to read it online. I check my e-mails any way, that way I get to learn the translation as well.
Again, respect should be shown by practicing Quran, not so much by putting it up on a high place where it can be forgotten.
I have to agree with everything…
I partially agree with those who are saying that we need to have respect for Quran in the hearts…
The reason I would partially agree is because they are saying it in order to refute or answer with disagreement against the points:
- keep it clean and up above on a high clean place.
- keep it covered with its cover.
- read it when you are clean personally.
Their counter argument, because of the context they are arguing, gives the reader an impression that you do not care about keeping the Quran in clean and high places… ‘Respect is in the heart’ argument is faulty because with the same token, go ahead and start arguementing with your parents without showing respect with your action and keep uttering that ‘respect is in the hearts’ …
Unfortunately, I have witnessed Arabs showing the most disrespectful act with Quran as a book… I have seen people putting under ther legs while sitting in Riyaad-ul-Jannah in Masjid-e-Nabawi:saw2:
I read a narration about a sahaabi 
who used to pick up Quran in his hands in the wee hours during Tahajjud time and used to cry uttering the words with all his beard wet with tears: Haadhaa Kalaamun Rabbi that is This is the word of Almighty …
By rejecting the initial post on the basis of argument that ‘respect should be in the hearts’ we are assuming that the poster did not mean to respect the Quran with heart and that poster did not mean that Quran should be followed… while infact it is clearly mentioned in the very first post…
You can read Quran without wudu without touching it because it is allowed but ask yourself a question… should we try to remain in the state of wudu all the time… Why or Why not? Keep in mind the famous hadeeth about the incident of Me’raaj when Prophet:saw2: mentioned that he heard the sound of Bilal:razi: walking before him on the heavens and the reason noted in that hadith was that Bilal:razi: used to be in the state of wudu all the time …
As for rights of Quran, scholars have stated 5 main rights that we have upon Quran… one of them is to read it in abundance and mind you there are some narrations which state the minimum recitition in a year and that is to read it twice in a year… Therefore, the initial post is truth as per my knowledge…
For the major references from what I have said before someone start questioning me, please go ahead and take some time out and listen to atleast the INTRODUCTION TO QURAN in urdu by Dr. Israr Ahmed from this link:
http://www.brain.net.pk/~aasif/quran/Index.html
Four parts… You will insha Allah find some good information…
Re: Respect for Quran-e-Pak

Re: Respect for Quran-e-Pak
Great thread Dushwari.
However, I am quite sure that Qur'an can only be read and recited in state of purity and tahaarah. If a woman is in a state of impurity, for educational purposes, a Qur'an that is mostly in Arabic must be held by a cloth, not the dupatta she is wearing, and only recited a few words at a time, not in continuous qirat. It is advisable not to recite any part of the Qur'an during state of impurity. This is from Hanafi fiqh, as far as I know. Allah know best, and forgive me if this information is incorrect.
Re: Respect for Quran-e-Pak
no, Niksik, you are right, Quran-e-Pak deserves as much cleanliness and attention as we can possibly give to it. :>
