Beside him another person was saying prayer. He too, after the  salat, took a copy of Holy Quran and sat down on the prayer rug to  recite. The person on the sofa argued that either he himself should come  down or the other person should sit on another sofa. He believed a man  should not be above the Holy Text. Was his argument valid?<\/p>\n<h3>Answer<\/h3>\n<p>Muslims  generally observe that they do not rise above the Qur&#8217;an. This is  corresponding to their respect for the book for they consider it word of  God. It should not be given superiority over all other sources of  guidance but its copies too should not be put under other things. They  even manke sure that the Book of God is put on the top of other books in  their personal libraries. This expression of love for the Book is  justified and corresponds to their beliefs. However, it is not a legal  matter. If someone does not observe it we should not condemn them  outrightly but should ask them to observe this good behaviour if they  can.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Answered by:<\/strong> Tariq Mahmood Hashmi<\/p>\n<p><strong>Date:<\/strong> 2015-02-12<\/p>\n<button class=\"simplefavorite-button\" data-postid=\"6660\" data-siteid=\"1\" data-groupid=\"1\" data-favoritecount=\"0\" style=\"\">Favorite <i class=\"sf-icon-star-empty\"><\/i><\/button>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A  couple of days ago I observed a person reciting the Holy Quran on a  sofa.
