Recent months have seen repeated acts of Quran burning or desecration by far-right extremists, especially in northern European and Nordic countries.
Quran desecration has triggered widespread condemnation across the Muslim world and beyond.
Here are some comments made by the professors, and reciters of the Holy Quran on recent holy Quran desecration.
Mr. Rizvan Darvish - Syria
Almighty God has guaranteed us the preservation of His Book in all times - until the Day of Judgment, and whatever the current and whatever extent of work that those who hold grudges do to the Holy Qur'an, there will be no change in our steadfastness and belief toward this book and doesn't stop us from Reciting and practicing the rules of the Qur'an.
Mr. Taha Abdul Wahab - Egypt
The right of this book is that Jews, Christians, and Muslims should protect it because it is the only reason for the existence of these religions.
Mr. Abdul Nasser Harak - Egypt
This heinous and unblessed act causes deceptive events and incites anger among people toward religions. We ask Almighty God to guide us all to the straight path.
Mr. Ali Al Zahedi - Australia
The Muslim population of Australia, like the rest of the Muslims in the East and West of the world, condemns and rejects this shameful and criminal act of burning the Quran, which is an unreasonable and inhuman act.
This criminal act will only increase and strengthen the adherence of Muslim communities all over the world to the Holy Qur'an and the defense of this Holy Book - which was revealed to guide and enlighten people and separate them from error.
Mr. Adel Khalil - Lebanon
In the face of the event and trend that a few spiteful and light-hearted people have created in the burning of the Holy Quran, we in the country of Lebanon condemn this shameful and unreasonable act that indicates their weakness and distance from human civilization. We consider it highly objectionable and condemn it.
Mr. Ali Al-Saffar Karbalai - Iraq
The Holy Qur'an is an eternal book revealed by Allah, the almighty and the merciful. A book in which there is light, mercy, healing, guidance, preaching, good news, and expression for people and a separator between right and wrong.
Mr. Hamidreza Mostafid - Iran
Animosity toward the Holy Quran is not a new incident. It started since the time of the Qur'an Revelation, and the enemies of the Qur'an tried every possibility they could, to obliterate this holy book and extinguish the divine light.
According to the Qur'anic verse, these actions show the arrogance of these people, as opposed to the truth; “Those who argue about God's signs without their having any authority to do so, only feel pride within their breasts; they shall never achieve anything. Take refuge with God; He is the Alert, the Observant. (56/Qafer)”
The Qur'an says that this arrogance will not achieve the goal it wants to achieve; “they shall never achieve anything!”
Mr. Seyed Mohsen Mousavi Baladeh - Iran
The tragedy of burning the holy book of Muslims, the Holy Quran, and insulting the position of this grand book, will backfire for the designers and their operatives.
This means that this threat will turn into an opportunity for Muslims, God willing, and it will make Muslims more united and coherent about the Quran and even bring the Islamic world closer to each other around the Holy Quran, so I have a suggestion.
Mr. Mahdi Daghagaleh - Iran
«God verifies the Truth through His own words no matter how criminals may hate it»
Mr. Syed Sadaqat Ali - Pakistan
The Holy Qur’an is a book that God Almighty revealed to His beloved prophet Muhammad pbuh, and in this book, all the divine books are mentioned.
These days, there is an event, which is the burning of the Holy Quran, and it led to the anger and hatred of Muslims, since this act is really disturbing and disgusting to them, as an evil and unbearable act!
So they must not do what leads to division and strife in the world. God Almighty may help us to honor His Holy Book.
Mr. Omar Abu Saada – Algeria
Our hearts are all with the Qur’an and its followers. They burned the Qur’an, but in fact, burned out our hearts! Because we are given no credit without the Qur’an, and when the Qur’an is disrespected, it harms all Muslims.
Mr. Allameh Mohammad Hossein Akbar - Pakistan
Western governments, especially Sweden, Denmark, and some other Western colonialist countries, which do not have the ability to confront the teachings and the truth of the Qur'an, burn the Qur'an and disrespect the holy Qur'an, with the idea that they can demolish the authenticity of the Qur'an and keep people away from it.
Mr. Abdel Fattah Tarouti - Egypt
Commenting on what some of the enemies of Islam did, meaning burning the Holy Qur’an and insulting all Muslims in the east and west of the world. In one word, whoever has done this insulting and disgusting act toward the Quran, has lost his humanity.
Humanity is that we respect each other's religions so that we do not offend each other. We did not offend Judaism, nor did we offend Christianity, and as the Qur’an said: You have your religion while I have my religion. (Keferun/6)
Mr. Khair Al-Din Al-Hadi - Iraq
This book, which God Almighty sent down to His honorable Prophet, continues to bring people out of darkness into light, and this today's issue that we live with as part of Muslim communities is considered a victory of the book of God, and this book has the very right over all Muslims.
Mr. Amanullah Ahmadi - Afghanistan
Almighty Allah says: Without a doubt, We sent down this book and we are its guardians.
From these verses, it is clear that Almighty Allah is responsible for preserving His Book, but our responsibility, and yours before Allah's Book is not to remain silent but to raise our voice in front of those who insult the holy subjects, especially the Holy Quran.
Mr. Rafi al-Amiri Iraq
The Qur'an is one of the divine books that was revealed by God Almighty to the last prophet, and it is the book of mercy that was revealed to the prophet of mercy, as God says: " We did not send you but as a mercy to all the nations"
Therefore, this book does not deserve to be insulted because this book does not only represent Muslims but represents the whole of humanity.
Mr. Ahmed Mian Tahanavi - Pakistan
In fact, the Qur'an is one of the holy books, so it must be respected like the other heavenly books, the Torah and the Holy Bible, and it is obligatory for a human being to respect the Holy Qur'an and the last heavenly books because these books are holy.
Mr. Mohammad Aref Al-asali
God said in His Holy Book: "Verily, We have sent down The Reminder, [the Holy Qur'ān] and We will assuredly be the Protector of it." (Hijr/9)
The Qur’an consists of the words of God, it does not distort, it does not alter, it does not change, and it does not care if it is burnt, and if the perpetrators do it, the Holy Book is steadfast, patient, and ancient.
