Qur'an

This topic covers the Qur'an as a book people read, memorize, carry and recite. The questions are practical as often as they are scholarly. Readers ask how to handle a mushaf, the printed copy, and what a verse is understood to mean. The pages below cover recitation and tajweed, the rules of careful pronunciation, and memorization. Others cover handling and respect, meaning and tafsir, the explanation of verses, and translations. Every answer here is a sourced summary of a fatwa.
