The Islamic World's Abandonment

of the Qur'an

Some Muslims have systematically turned their backs on the

Qur'an over the years because of these fabricated hadiths and the
superstition that various supposed scholars have tried to add onto
the faith. According to the fabricated hadiths and pronouncements
made jointly by various Islamic scholars many practices have
spread that have no place in the Qur'an. These are so difficult and
obstructive that many people have begun regarding the Qur'an as

"untouchable." For example;

• Although ritual ablution is clearly set out in just one verse of
the Qur'an and is exceptionally easy, according to the superstition of
the fanatics, there are thousands of things that can invalidate ablu-
tion set out in many long books. Touching the Qur'an has therefore
been made almost impossible.

• The Qur'an is generally not to be touched. It can only be

placed somewhere high up inside a protective covering and never
brought down again.
• While the Qur'an should be the most important part of a Mus-

lim's life, this nonsense says that only at certain times, such as the
month of Ramadan, holy nights and at funerals, the Qur'an should
be read and only in Arabic. It is absolutely forbidden for a person to
read it in his own tongue. Under the faith of superstition, many peo-

ple have come to believe that it is a sin to read the Qur'an in their
own native language. That is why so many non-Arab communities
are ignorant of the content of the Qur'an.

• Because of that mentality, millions of Muslims in the world are
quite bluntly unaware of what the Qur'an says.
