It is s matter of choice, you can either read or ignore it..so no religious should be attached. |

Perhaps it's because The Qur'an is a holy book of Allah. Remember, ungodly things do happen in Hotel rooms. A devoted Muslim is expected to always be in possession of the glorious Qur'an anyway. |

Bobnotrouble:Hotel room or not,ungodly things happen everywhere.so I don't understand your point.There are Muslims who carry the whole Qur'an in their memory and yet fornicate,lie lie always,steal etc.so why not provide good translated copies so it can remind them @ sight or at least others who have no idea of what is morally upright or have decided to ignore it can just pick it up at leisure to read a passage or two.I don't know much about the religion but if it is like the Bible,there are passages there for the depressed,ungrateful, sick,etc.so how can it be accessable to people of all the earth if you feel one place as so much filth.

selfwife: You've rightly ended your reaction. You know nothing! Devoted Muslims don't denigrate the Qur'an. Mind you, there are some hypocratical Muslims that might suit your mindset. |

Peace be upon you all. There is no point saying Ill things about other religions and so on in the name of debating an event. "Bibles found around places, hotels, hospitals, walkways, bus stops and so on, what of other holy books.? Thats a brilliant question and requires brilliant/critical contributions. If you have nothing tangible to contribute you can push people who you think may know something to comment on the post. God created us all to coexist for a reason... To serve as keepers for each other is one and in doing so we INFORM each other with glad tidings. Back to the topic of discuss. I am a Muslim so i will talk on why the Quran is not placed at such places, why it should be placed and how best it should be placed. The Quran is a book among the four books of Allah, The Torah, Zabura, Bible and the Quran. The Quran as a whole comprises 114 chapters and was revealed in Arabic. For ease of understanding and preaching it has been translated to various languages but as we all know, you can never have a translation which is 100% accurate. The Quran is a sacred book which even among muslims, not everybody can touch it. For Example a menustrating woman, ritually impure person (after sex or wet dream), someone who used the toilet and couldnt get the necessary items for purification, a child, a lunatic and so on. These people despite been muslims are not allowed to touch the COMPLETE QURAN. BUT, can touch parts or bits of the Quran which are found in bookstores. The most common is the 30stack booklets for easy handling, memorisation and so on. Now coming to the Hotels, depending on the management of the Hotel, Complete Quran could be placed in the room. The intention of a hotel is A HOME AWAY FROM HOME so if you can have Quran in yout house you should have one in your Hotel room. The bad things we speak of that happens in hotels happen in our homes too. (Dont discriminate) If the management are not muslims or don't have any musljm to guide them "WHY" should they bother placing Qurans? Nobody stops you from bringing yours. And even if they are muslims and dont place Qurans it is still okay considering the chances of misuse. On the alternative if Muslims produced and distributed parts of the Quran for some selected purposes like spiritual upliftment and Non-Muslim Companion... Such could 100% be habitable in hotels or even beer parlors without any fear of divine repercussions. Afterall it will only bring you rewards. At this point i think i have said enough to show my opinion. I hope you all learn from this and for those that know better kindly correct me where ever you find errors. It's HUMAN to err.

sulasa07: Thumbs up guy, got it Not here to pick a stone at you Crusaders were designed to wade off intruders. Like first crusader attack i once read was to wade off intruders, ask me who de intruders at that time were.... (Moslems) . It was then i discovered that islamic war don tey Do you know of a land in India owned by Christians(i think) claimed by the moslems and they kept fighting till none possessed it Sorry for calling you guys intruders but do you know why i do? A Christian hausa woman was told me that Catholicism came to their land first but the same moslems came in with force (that's intruding u know!!! ) ....some africa countries too suffered this. we christians halted ours long ago but jihad still lives on to refresh history The crusaders of the First Crusade managed to recapture the holy city of Jerusalem in 1099. But after almost 50 years of peace, fighting broke out again, with the Muslims the winners. The Third Crusade made heroes out of the Muslim leader Saladin and the English king, who became known as Richard the Lionheart. una give those guys trouble o... sha we 've forgiven u guys |

flex04:It's either you're ignorantt of history or hypocrisy is flowing in your blood. Honest people knew who were the intruders during the Crusade war.You can't change history. You're very funny guy, when you mentioned what the Hausa woman said. You really believe that, you forgot that everyone will say good things about his or her belief. And to him, every other religion is false. |

thorpido:Tell them o. Most Christians I have come to meet failed to put up with the fact that all religions have different doctrines backing them up and you can't expect to worship or do things the same way. They question you to why you are not doing things the way they do. Their belief was probably borne out of the fact that most people look up to the western world where Christianity supposedly comes from as the zenith of development and civilization so they want you to do things the way they do things. The same way the West also wants everyone to adopt their system of government so they impose democracy on you. I ask them in what ways democracy or their systems of government have helped us here in Nigeria? Our Monarchy system may be better off! |

selfwife: When will you stop exposing your ignorance? If you care, of course, there are fully translated English copies of Qur'an. I think you're suffering from islamophobia. We Muslims regard and respect the Holy Qur'an. Take it or leave it! |

Bobnotrouble:Smiles......Islamaphobia......Oga on a serious note if not for only two reasonable and enlightened Muslim's that I have met,isn't Islam worth fearing it can be very lethal at times.esp when you have been caught in crisis in northern Nigeria or have lost loved one's to the hands of those who have the whole Qur'an in their brains but have no idea what it teaches.Just loving your religion without adequate evangelism on the core subjects of human life,sympathy and love will only raise more questionable muslims.if you regard and respect a book but are not transformed and reshaped by the book,what difference does it make?.and I think the solution is to reduce the Ignorance present within your folk and not picking on me. |
