Adnan Oktar
(Harun Yahya)

• Although there is no obligation to cover the head in
the Qur'an (this will be discussed in due course) and
although it contains no rule about only touch-
ing the Qur'an in a state of ritual purification,
it is still forbidden in this superstitious
faith for a woman to touch the

Qur'an unless her head is cov-
ered and she has purified herself.
In the same way, many specious com-
mandments have been invented that prevent

the Qur'an being touched through many rules
that are very difficult to abide by for men as well.
• One of the best-known myths invented to prevent access to the

Qur'an is the idea that that the Qur'an cannot be understood alone,
that one needs the interpretations and commentaries of scholars in
order to understand it. Some Muslims brought up in this way have
believed that they will not be able to find sufficient explanation in

the Qur'an, despite God saying "… We have made all things very
clear" (Qur'an, 17:12) in one verse, and have imagined that the fabri-
cated hadiths imposed on them are true guideposts.

According to the fabricated
hadiths and agreements of
scholars, the Qur'an is not
generally to be read, only
to be placed some-
where high up and
never taken down
again.
