Qur'an

Q: I have disrespected Quran many times. Most of the time it is unintentionally. But it happens many times. Such as today, I was reading Quran keeping it over two pillows and while reciting, it suddenly dropped down and touched my feet. My eyes were closed because I was reciting from memory. Many times the Quran Sharif dropped from my hand. I unintentionally touched it without wudu and it was touched by my feet one more time in my life when I was young. What do I do since it burdens my mind?

Q: My question is more of a request for an explanation. I got into a... Lets say debate with a non Muslim and I've answered almost every answer correctly. His one question was if in the Quran it says Allahs word will never change. And if the Bible and Psalms are god's words, why do we say it's changed? The ayah he gave was this one.

The word of thy Lord doth find its fulfilment in truth and in justice: None can change His words: for He is the one who heareth and knoweth all. Surah 6:115

I found another ayah where Allah says:

And recite, [O Muhammad], what has been revealed to you of the Book of your Lord. There is no changer of His words, from Surah Kahf.

I told him whatever God has revealed to Muhammad (sallallahu alaihi wasallam) will never be changed. But he wants to know about ayah 6:115. He says I'm changing the subject and wants to know exactly where in the Quran it says the the Torah and Injeel have been changed.

Q: If a person memorizes the Quran, but makes a few mistakes while reciting it by memory, can he still become a Hafiz? Just to clarify can a person still pass his hifz test and become a hafiz if he makes mistakes?

Q: I travel quite early to work and I travel with other people. I try to recite Quraan after fajr, that means I am travelling to work at that time. In my transport the people listen to music. I want to recite Quraan. Can I read even though there is music playing in the background? May Allah Ta'ala protect us.

Q: The Sajdah in Surah Naml is normally made on completion of ayah 26 "Arsh il azeem" (as indicated in the Quraan shareef). According to fatwa hindiyya quoting Allamah Aini it says the sajdah must be made on completing ayah 25:9

وَالنَّمْلِ عِنْدَ قَوْلِهِ: {وَيَعْلَمُ مَا تُخْفُونَ وَمَا تُعْلِنُونَ} [النمل: 25]  

My question based on the above is if a person made the sajdah e tilawat in salaah after ayah 25 instead of ayah 26 will this be regarded as an extra added to the salaah thus requiring the imaam to make a sajdah e sahw or will it be counted as the sajdah e tilawat.

Q: A friend of mine who became a Muslim a couple years ago has been accredited for hajj this year. She does not know how to read the Arabic Quraan but she has one that has been gifted to her. She has been told that she can read la illahah illal lah for every word. Is that permissable?

Q: When one is travelling for hajj. Can one put the Quraan Shareef in the suitcase.

Q: What is the meaning of the verse:“O Mankind! Fear your Lord, who created you from one soul and created from it its mate and dispersed from both of them many men and women. And fear Allah, through whom you ask one another, and the wombs. Indeed Allah is ever, over you, an Observer.”[Quran 4:1]

And “But those who break the covenant of Allah after contracting it and sever that which Allah has ordered to be joined and spread corruption on earth – for them is the curse, and they will have the worst abode.”[Quran 13: 25]

Which kinship is Allah Ta'ala talking about? Is it only my parents, grandparents, uncles, aunts, siblings and first cousins?

Q: If I read Quran without wudu but touching the Quran with a cloth around it, is it a sin?

Q: What is the sin in the dunya and aakhirah for the one who learns the quraan or surahs of the quraan but forgets it completely after a period?
