BURNING THE QUR’AN: A WRONG EXPRESSION OF HATE
Sometimes in the 80s; a question reached Saudi Arabia’s
religious ministry of how best to dispose of newspapers and magazines where
verses of the Qur’an and photos of Mecca and Medina are printed. These waste
materials often times ends up being used as wrappers or simply thrown away in
the garbage. The recommendation was to burn it.
Burning the Qur’an is therefore a proper way of disposing
old Qur’an rather than leaving it collecting dust in the dungeon or dumping it
in garbage. We also develop the habit of giving our non-Muslim friends a copy
of the Qur’an as a gift but how many of our friends care? We may even give it
to people who hate Islam as in the undeniable case of the USA’s forces who may
not only burn it but use it as toiletries as an expression of not only anger and
mockery of God but extreme hate.
Burning the Qur’an per se is not wrong; it is the evil intentions
that spark anger among the believers especially in a nation suffering under
occupation by another believed to be infidels and Muslim haters.

The charred remains of the volumes were found by local labourers.
