Question: Are there specialrules that one must followwhen handling the Qu' ran?
Answer: The Qur'an itself states that only those whoare clean and pure
should touch the sacred text:"Thisis indeed a Holy Qur'an, in a book
well-guarded, which none shall touch but those who are
clean…"(56:77-79). The Arabic word translated here as"clean"is
mutahiroon, a word that is also sometimes translated as"purified".
Some argue that this purity or cleanliness is of the heart, i.e. that
only Muslim believers should handle the Qur'an. However, the majority
of Islamic scholars interpret these verses to also refer to a physical
cleanliness orpurity, which is attained by making formal ablutions
(wudu). Therefore, most Muslims believe that only those who are
physically clean through formal ablutions should touch the pages of
the Qur'an.
As a result of this general understanding, the following"rules"are
usually followed when handling the Qur'an:
1) One should make formal ablutions before handling the Qur'an or
reading from its text.
2) One who is in need of a formal bath (after intercourse or menstrual
bleeding) should not touchthe Qur'an until after bathing.
3) A non-Muslim should not handle the sacred text,but may listen to
tapes of the Qur'an or handle a translation or exegesis.
4) Those who are unable to handle the Qur'an basedon these reasons
should either avoid handling the Qur'an completely, or in necessity
hold it while using some sort of barrier covering the hand, such as a
cloth or a glove.
In addition, when one is not reading or reciting from the Qur'an, it
should be closed and stored a clean, respectable place. Nothing should
be placed on top of it, nor should it ever be placed on the flooror in
a bathroom. To further show respect for the sacred text, those whoare
writing it should use clear, elegant handwriting,and those who are
readingfrom it should use clear, beautiful voices.
In summary, Muslims believe that the Holy Qur'an should be handled
with the deepest respect. However, God is All-Merciful and we cannotbe
held responsible for what we do in ignorance or by mistake. The Qur'an
itself says:"Our Lord! Punish us not if we forget or fall into
error"(2:286). Therefore, there is no sin in Islam on the person who
mishandles the Qur'an by accident or without the realization of
wrongdoing.

*- WHAT ISLAM SAYS -*

Islam is a religion of Mercy, Peace and Blessing. Its teachings emphasize kind hear tedness, help, sympathy, forgiveness, sacrifice, love and care.Qur’an, the Shari’ah and the life of our beloved Prophet (SAW) mirrors this attribute, and it should be reflected in the conduct of a Momin.Islam appreciates those who are kind to their fellow being,and dislikes them who are hard hearted, curt, and hypocrite.Recall that historical moment, when Prophet (SAW) entered Makkah as a conqueror. There was before him a multitude of surrendered enemies, former oppressors and persecutors, who had evicted the Muslims from their homes, deprived them of their belongings, humiliated and intimidated Prophet (SAW) hatched schemes for his murder and tortured and killed his companions. But Prophet (SAW) displayed his usual magnanimity, generosity, and kind heartedness by forgiving all of them and declaring general amnesty...Subhanallah. May Allah help us tailor our life according to the teachings of Islam. (Aameen)./-

Rule Must be Followed When Handling Quran
Is it compulsory to touch the Black Stone even when there is too much rush and fear of getting or c
Question:
Assalamalaikum..i would like to know if it is compulsary to touch the
Hijr-e-Aswad even when there is too much rush and there is fear of
getting hurt or causing hurt ?Will it itbe wrong if one doesn't touch
it because of the mentioned issues..same question regarding touching
the Kaabatullah also.One more thing i want to ask is the same
regarding standing nearest to our Prophet's p.b.u.h Rozemubaarak to
send Durood...if there is too much rush and there is no sense in
pushing and hurting others to gain good deeds...can we read the Durood
standing whereever we get place ?Jazaak Allah khair.
Answer:
Walaikum assalam wa rahmatullah,
It is recommended (not obligatory) to try to touch the Black Stone,
but only ifthis will not lead to hurting, harming, or even annoying
others. [Ibn Abidin, Radd al-Muhtar]
Given this, it is wrong to try to touch the Black Stone if it entails
pushing and shoving others.
And Allah alone gives success.

Repentance (tawbah) from riba after having spent it all
I used to have money earned from usury or interest (riba), but I have
spent it all and none of it remains with me. Now I want to repent.
What am I required to do?
Nothing is required of youexcept repentance and seeking forgiveness
from your Lord. Note that riba is a very serious and grave issue,
seeing that Allah (subhanahu wata'ala) did not declare war in the
Qur'an against anyone except the one who accepts riba. Since the money
earned from riba has all gone, then there is nothing due from you in
its regard.

Meaning of the words of the Prophet (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) concerning those who will be brought forth from Hell, “[They] never did anything good”
The Prophet (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) said: “Allah, may He be glorified and exalted, will say: ‘The angels have interceded and the Prophets have interceded and the believers have interceded,and there is no one left but the Most Merciful of those who show mercy. And He will seize a handful from the Fire and will bring forth from it people who never did anything good.” Narrated by Muslim. What is the meaning of the words “[they] never did anythinggood”?.
Praise be to Allaah.
What is meant by the words “[they] never did anything good” is that they did not do any righteous deeds apart from believing and affirming in their hearts. These people either died before they were able to act, so they believed and then died before they were able to do anything, so in that case it is true to say that they never did anything good;
Or this hadeeth is to be understood in the light of other hadeeths which indicate that forsaking some righteous deeds constitutes kufr, such as prayer, so the one who does not pray is a kaafir even if he claims to believe in Allah and His Messenger. The kaafir will not be benefited by the intercession of any of those who intercede on the Day of Resurrection; he will abide in Hell for ever and ever -- Allah forbid.
The point is that this hadeeth either applies to people who believe but were not able to do any righteous deeds as they died straight after they believed, so they never did anything good;
Or it is general in meaningbut an exception is made with regard to matters which the shar‘i texts state are essential, such asprayer -- so the one who does not pray is a kaafir who will not benefit from intercession and will not be brought out from Hell. End quote.
