TO THE ENTIRE MUSLIM UMMAH: THE NEW MODE OF HANDLING QURAN
ASSALAM ALAYKUM WARAHMATULLAH WABARAKATUHU. I AM WRITING THIS AS A CONCERNED MUSLIM BROTHER. I COULD REMEMBER VIVIDLY SOME YEARS AGO WHEN MUSLIMS MADE QURAN THE RING TONE OF THIER PHONES. THEN, DUE TO SOME ARGUMENTS THAT IT WAS NOT GOOD BECAUSE THE RECITATION OF THE VERSE MIGHT NOT BE COMPLETED BEFORE THE PHONE COULD GOT DISCONNECTED OR GOT ANSWERED. THUS, THE MUSLIM SCHOLARS STOOD AGAINST IT AND DISCOURAGED MUSLIMS FROM DOING SUCH. LATER, IT WAS ENCOURAGED TO MAKE ISLAMIC SONGS THE APPLIED RING TONE IN ALTERNATIVE.
THIS JIHAD WAS ACHIEVED AND MUSLIMS TOOK CORRECTION OF IT. THE MIGHTY QURAN IS NOT JUST ORDINARY BOOK AND THE RESPECT FOR THE KITAB SHALL BE PROTECTED AND GUIDED THOUGH IT HAD BEEN AND IS BEING GUIDED AND PROTECTED BY ALLAH HIMSELF.
THE ETIQUETTE OF QURAN IS NOT TO BE TAKEN NOR TO BE RECITED IN TOILET OR UNCLEANED HABITAT. ALSO IT SHOULD NOT BE TOUCHED IN WHOLE WHEN NOT IN STATE OF ABLUTION EXCEPT THE JUZ( PORTION).
NOW, THE MAIN REASON FOR THIS AUGUST WRITE UP IS TO LOOK TO THE MODE WHICH QURAN IS BEING HANDLED THESE DAYS. QURAN HAS ANOTHER FORM APART FROM BOOK WHICH IS AN APPLICATION THAT CAN EASILY BE ACCESSIBLE ON ELECTRONIC GADGETS. MY CONCERN IS THAT ALL MUSLIMS THAT ARE IN POSSESSION OF PHONES THAT HAS ANY FORM OF QURAN APPLICATION ARE VICTIMS OF THIS CLAIM. FOR ANY MUSLIM THAT WANT TO RELIEF HIM/HERSELF IN TOILET WOULD NOT WANT TO LEAVE HIS/HER PHONE OUTSIDE AND ENTER THE TOILET WITH THE FEAR THAT IT MIGHT HAVE GOT STOLEN BEFORE HE/SHE COULD RETURNED. ALSO IT HAS COME TO MY NOTICE THAT EVEN GIRLS IN MENSTRUATION PERIOD THAT ARE NOT ALLOWED TO TOUCH A WHOLE QURAN IN ITS BOOK FORM FIND IT EASY TO EVEN RECITE IT SO FAR IT IS STORED IN THIER MEMORY CARD OF PHONE MEMORY. IT IS HIGHLY IMPERATIVE FOR MUSLIM SCHOLARS TO LOOK INTO THIS MATTER AND COME OUT WITH AN IMPECCABLE SOLUTION AND PRESENT AN AXIOM WHICH SHALL BE ACCEPTED BY ALL SO FAR WE ARE IN THE MONTH OF RAMADAN WHERE EACH AND EVERY MUSLIMS WOULD WANT TO COMPLETE THE RECITATION MORE THAN ONCE.
