on honouring the qur'an: put it high in our hearts, not high on our shelves

Salaams all,

Interesting article:

Basically, old copies of the Qur'an were burnt and their ashes were going to be disposed of in the sea.

And the choppy waters turned calm when they threw the ashes into the sea.

1) Even the sea turned calm receiving the qur'an. But we still don't want to read it.

2) The qur'an appears in the Malaysian media if:
- americans burned the qur'an
- pages of qur'an suddenly go missing
- youth trample on the qur'an in a show of disrespect

But rarely do we hear about the message of the qur'an in the media. Is it just an ornament to keep away spirits and jinn (genies)?

Or a guide to a complete system of living, now and in the hereafter?

You see, we 'step' on the qur'an everyday, without even realising it.
