As Salaam Aleikum wa Rahmatullahi wa Barakatuh. (May Allah's Peace, Mercy and Blessings be upon all of you)

One of our brothers/sisters has asked this question:

Dear Brother,

Please guide me for the following:-

1. Is it correct to put into shelf Quran Sharif our Holy Book without cover and without box like other books.

Kindly reply as soon as possible.

Answer:

Quran without cover

In the name of Allah, We praise Him, seek His help and ask for His forgiveness. Whoever Allah guides none can misguide, and whoever He allows to fall astray, none can guide them aright. We bear witness that there is none worthy of worship but Allah Alone, and we bear witness that Muhammad (saws) is His slave-servant and the seal of His Messengers.

There is absolutely no condition or stipulation in Shariah that one has to cover the copy of the Glorious Quran, or place it in a box, or even place it on a shelf!  One may place the copy of their Glorious Quran just like they keep their other books, in any form and anywhere they will and please, provided it is an honorable place.

Whatever written of Truth and benefit is only due to Allah’s Assistance and Guidance, and whatever of error is only ones. Allah Alone Knows Best and He is the Only Source of Strength.
