<b>Guidance from the Hadith:</b><br> 1) It is not permissible for a Muslim to take a copy of the Qur’an to the land of disbelievers, lest they may desecrate it. But if he can preserve it, then there is nothing wrong with taking it; it may even be recommended or obligatory.<br> 2) It is obligatory to respect the Qur’an and protect it from physical and moral filth, for it is the speech of Allah Almighty. {On venerable pages, exalted and purified.}
