			First one Bismillah is it permissible to keep a small Quran in your wallet or car for the purposes
of Baraka? And then the questioner says isn't this similar to what other religions have done with
their holy icons and question on
		
00:00:18 --> 00:00:21
			any gala region in
		
00:00:23 --> 00:00:24
			the name
		
00:00:31 --> 00:01:09
			so are we allowed to keep a copy of the Quran in he says the wallet I don't understand how the
ongoing the wallet but I guess you can get really small portions or more realistically the car for
the purposes of protecting the car. So the answer to this actually it goes back to a very
theological issue and that is can you use the Koran as essentially a taneema in Arabic or in English
a good luck charm can use the Quran to bring about Baraka the physical copy of the Koran. Now, by
unanimous consensus, you can use the Quran as recitation to bring about Baraka there's no it's still
out there. You can recite it to the chorus you can do whatever you want with the recitation of the
		
00:01:09 --> 00:01:41
			Quran, the controversy that goes back to the time of Sahaba can you use a physical written Kitab of
the Quran the writing of the Quran can you use written it kursi can you use any type of verse as a
physical icon to bring about Baraka, we find some of the Sahaba they allow this, most famously I
showed you love wine, it is authentically reported that when members of extended family, the
children, the grandchildren SMF, for example, when they became sick, I show would rhodiola
		
00:01:42 --> 00:02:06
			cause some verses of the Quran to be put around them for example, it is also narrated from Abdullah
Ahmed and then also the one that he would allow using physical copy of the Quran to a cure a Shiva
and he would say the Quran is a Shiva as Allah says in the Quran is that she felt with him after
pseudo whether it is recited whether it is physically written, and it is also narrated that some of
them would allow
		
00:02:08 --> 00:02:52
			excuse me, this is the gift of Hajj that happens. Some of them would allow the Koran to be worn on
the necks of Children, Toddlers to protect them from evil i. So, this is narrated from some of the
Sahaba. At the same time, it is also narrated from some of them such as Abdullah who minimus
rhodiola. One, that he would not allow the haoran to be worn as protection. And he said it is not
befitting the Koran that it be worn as protection. So we find this little bit of controversy from
the time of the Sahaba themselves that should the Quran be used as a physical protection or not.
Therefore, in light of this it can be said number one, to use a copy of the Quran as a physical
		
00:02:52 --> 00:03:36
			source of blessings cannot be considered to be shipped. It's not shipped. Why? Because the Quran is
the speech of Allah. So the Quran is the speech of Allah when you seek protection from the Koran you
are not turning to other than Allah subhana wa Tada, you are not turning to other than Allah, you
can turn to the Koran for protection and the Quran is a respected book because it contains the
speech of Allah you have to have will do to touch it and the physical must have is venerated. So it
is not sure. But the question is, is it proper etiquette to use the Koran as a source of protection?
Is it a dub? Is it something that shows up to the Koran and some of the Sahaba said yes, some of
		
00:03:36 --> 00:04:17
			them said no. And there is no question that the Prophet system himself did not use physical written
Quran even though it was written in his lifetime he did not use it to have a physical protection
therefore I personally It is my personal opinion I leaned towards him and Mr. Woods position but we
cannot rebuke the other side because who has the other side? I shall have the love on Abdullah but
also the low on you cannot rebuke the other side. There is legitimacy to those who say I want to
keep a copy of the Quran in my glove compartment. May Allah protect my car, right? There's nothing
I'm not gonna say that's wrong at the same time. Firstly, there is no question that reciting the
		
00:04:17 --> 00:05:00
			Quran. And using your tongue is a higher goal in the eyes of Allah, you are actually doing an act of
worship an active versus keeping the Quran in the glove compartment is a passive, it's not active.
So there's no question that reciting the Quran reciting ayatul kursi, making your tongue move every
time you start the car say so panda the sadhana hada. That is a higher macom and it is an act of
worship. Secondly, let us be honest here and we all have either done it ourselves or have friends or
relatives that do it. When you put the most half in the glove compartment. What happens the glove
compartment fills with miscellaneous issues. It fills with, you know the tire pressure. It fills
		
00:05:00 --> 00:05:10
			With pens and pencils, honestly, is this a dub that we are showing the Quran to put it just like
that on the side? So my personal opinion is that it is not
		
00:05:11 --> 00:05:34
			it's not the best thing to do let me phrase it that way and you should recite the Quran but I'm not
going to criticize or say that it is wrong and it is clearly not how long or should it do so because
turning to the Quran, whether it is written whether it is recited is an act of worship, but we say
in my humble opinion, I say it is not the best mechanism respecting the most and Allah knows best.
