Kissing Quran

[Karbala]

salam,


Dan please dont bring Shi'a - Sunni into this, what is the need? Fact of the matter is even many of the Jama'a agree with me e.g.

You complain i dont use hadith when arguing against a scholar of hadith. I counted two hadiths in the article and none of them are narrations from the Prophet(saw). One is from Umar ibn Khattab and the other one Zayb ibn Thabit. Both of those hadiths in matter of fact have nothing to do with kissing the Quran.

Regarding worship: If the MOA did it, we do it. If the MOA did not do it, we leave it. Why is this so hard?

Again you're missing the point, no one is saying kissing the Quran is an act of worship! No one is even calling it part of religion. Its just a personal matter. If you dont want to do it dont do it. But what gives you the right to forbid other people from doing it?


I have no problem in admitting there is no precedent for kissing the Quran, but I have a serious problem when it is labelled an evil. There is no precedent for islamic calligraphy, is islamic calligraphy evil?
