Dear MEL Topic Readers,
‘Word of God’: Why Muslims are opposed to the burning of the Quran
The Quran is the holy scripture of Islam, believed by Muslims to be the
literal word of God as revealed to the Prophet Muhammad. It serves as the foundation
text of the Islamic faith and covers various aspects of life, including
spirituality, morality, law, guidance, and stories of past civilizations. Muslims
view the Quran as an eternal and unaltered source of guidance, and its
recitation holds deep spiritual significance. However, recently, a number of
Quran-burning incidents occurred in Sweden and Denmark mainly by far-right
individuals and groups. These incidents upset Muslims around the world as they
regard the targeting of the holy book as a desecration and offense to them, and
provoked hostility against the two countries. Indeed, the Quran is the Islamic
holy symbol and the most sacred text for 1.9 billion followers around the world.
Read the article and learn about what the Quran is to Muslims.
