Mu' meneen Brothers and Sisters,

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:

can we take sura yaseen in toilet in our handbag but wrapped nicely in a cloth 

(There may be some grammatical and spelling errors in the above statement. The forum does not change anything from questions, comments and statements received from our readers for circulation in confidentiality.)

Answer:

Quran in toilet

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.

Allah Says in the Holy Quran Chapter 59 Surah Hashr verse 21:

21 Had We sent down this Quran on a mountain, verily thou would have seen it humble itself and cleave asunder for fear of Allah! Such are the similitudes which We propound to men that they may reflect.

Allah says in the Holy Quran Chapter 26 Surah Shuaraa verses 191-195:

The fact is that your Lord is Mighty, as well as Merciful. This (Quran) has been revealed by the Lord of the Worlds. The trustworthy Spirit (Jibrael) has come down with it upon your heart so that you may become one of those who are (appointed by Allah) to warn (the people) in plain Arabic language.

Allah Says in the Holy Quran Chapter 56 Surah Waqiah verses 77-79

77 That this is indeed a Qur'an, most honorable

78 In a Book well-guarded

79 Which none shall touch but those who are purified.

Dear and beloved Sister in Islam, the Glorious Quran are the Very Words of the Lord Most Majestic, Most Supreme Who is the Lord, Creator, and Master of everything in existence…..and it would simply not behove and befit a believer who sincerely believes in Allah and the Last Day, believes in the Glorious Quran as the Very Words of the Lord Most Majestic, and beholds the Glorious Quran in the honor and sanctity it deserves to be held …..to take even a part of this Glorious Book of Guidance into a place as ‘najis’ and impure as one which is dedicated to the collection of the filthy deposits of mankind!

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

Your brother and well wisher in Islam,

Burhan
