Qur'An Stand

Qur'an Stand

The Qur'an is the sacred book of Islam and is regarded as the record of God's messages to humanity. Muslims reflect this belief through the practices which surround their treatment of the Qur'an. One of these practices is placing the Qur'an on a carved wooden stand when it is being read. The Arabic term for the stand may be translated 'throne'. Whether or not such a stand is used, the Qur'an should not be placed on the floor.
