2297: Listening to Qur'aan on car stereo speakers that are by the feet of the passengers Question: In some cars the speakers of the car's tape deck are at the level of passengers' feet, and they can put their feet and shoes on the speakers. If a person plays a tape of Qur'aan recitation in such a case, would it be considered as disrespect towards the Book of Allaah? Answer: Praise be to Allaah. If the speakers are as you describe, under the feet and shoes of passengers, then tapes of Qur'aan should not be played, because the fact that Qur'aan is being heard from beneath people's feet or shoes is undoubtedly a kind of disrespect towards the Qur'aan. If a person really must listen to Qur'aan, let him lift the speakers up so that they are not at the same level as people's feet.

Truly, your Lord knows best who has gone astray from His Path, and He is the Best Aware of those who are guided.} (Holy Quran-16:125) {And who is better in speech than he who [says: "My Lord is Allah (believes in His Oneness)," and then stands straight (acts upon His Order), and] invites (men) to Allah's (Islamic Monotheism), and does righteous deeds, and says: "I am one of the Muslims."} (Holy Quran-41:33) The prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: "By Allah, if Allah guides one person by you, it is better for you than the best types of camels." [al-Bukhaaree, Muslim] The prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) also said, "Whoever calls to guidance will have a reward similar to the reward of the one who follows him, without the reward of either of them being lessened at all." [Muslim, Ahmad, Aboo Daawood, an-Nasaa'ee, at-Tirmidhee, Ibn Maajah] -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Recommended: http://www.ikhwanweb.com http://www.islamonline.net http://www.islam-guide.com http://www.prophetmuhammadforall.org -------------------------------------------------------------------------- All views expressed herein belong to the individuals concerned and do not in any way reflect the official views of IslamCity unless sanctioned or approved otherwise.
