Etiquettes with the Holy Quran




Cleanliness:
                 The Holy Qur’an is the word of Allah addressed to us, and we should therefore treat it with due respect. One of the prime conditions for handling the Qur’an has been set in the book itself.
لا یمسہ الا المطھرّون۔
“A book well guarded which none shall touch but those who are clean.” [56:78-79]
This means that in order to touch the Qur’an one needs to be in a state of ritual purity (tahara) to be obtained through ‘wudu’ or ablution.

The Right Niyya:
                         When taking up the Qur’an for study, recitation and reflection it must be done with the intention to seek Allah’s pleasure.
Pronounce its words correctly; this implies that one needs to pay attention to correct pronunciation both of the various letters as well as words, length, pause, etc.
