Qur'an

Kissing the Qur'an

Q: I had a question regarding kissing the quran and putting it on the forehead if one mistakenly drops the quran or shows disrespect to it then will it be a necessary for him to kiss the quran? If one kisses it, will it be regarded as bidah?

Keeping the Qur'an behind one's back

Q: I have noticed in some parts of the world e.g. Pakistan, they lay great importance on not having the Quran behind ones back, to the extent that even if you are at the back of a small musjid and are reading Quran and someone in the first saff is directly in front of you, they would tell you to move and get very angry about it. On the other hand in many other countries sitting directly behind someone's back and reading Quran is not considered wrong. What is mufti sahebs view on this matter of the Quran behind the back?

Last Ayah of Sura Naba

Q: I have a question regarding the last Ayat of Sura Naba which states that when the Kafir sees the Azaab on the day of Qiyamah he will say that it would be better for me if I would be clay rather than this. Will the Azaab be given to the Rooh or in an any other form besides insaan (clay) on the day of Qiyamah?
