How do Muslims respect the Qur'an?

Well, to begin with, the first thing a new born baby hears in it's life is part of the Qur'an. During the birth, a family member will recite the selected part over and over again. Muslim children have to memorise certain parts of the Qur'an as it is recited 5 times a day, some Muslims even learn Arabic! Someone who has memorised the whole Qur'an is known as a Hafiz Most Qur'ans are hand written entirely in caligraphy and decorated with colourful mosaic/geometric designs The Qur'an is never set on the floor. When not in use, it is wrapped in silk and place on top of the highest peice of funiature in the room, above all other books so as to be closer to Allah Before the Qur'an is read, the reader must wash him/herself on the hands, feet face, mouth and hair If the Qur'an has been written on a blackboard or slate it must be cleaned off with water once it is done with. Avoid putting the water where there are unclean substances or where people walkThe Qu'ran is the Islamic holy book, just as the Bible is to Christians. The Bible is the guideline to Christianity as the Qu'ran is to Muslims. That is why it is respected by all Muslims around the world. Interesting to note- The Qu'ran is also very similar to the Old Testament in the Bible. Judaism, Christianity and Islam are similar in many ways. Research it.

Does the Quran tell Muslims to slaughter non Muslims?

Yes it does, but subject to conditions. Otherwise, non Muslims are commanded by Quran to be treated kindly with tolerance and forgiveness,Quran says " And slay them wherever you catch them, and turn them out from where they have turned you out; for tumult and oppression are worse than slaughter" (Quran 2:191)But we can't understand exactly what Allaah (God) is saying by just learning one verse of Quran.Learn this verse and the verses above and after in order to understand what Allah (God) is saying:"Fight in the cause of God those who fight you, but do not transgress limits; for God loves not transgressors" (Quran 2:190)"But if they cease, God is Oft-forgiving, Most Merciful... If they cease, let there be no hostility except to those who practice oppression" (Quran 2:193)Quran tells Muslims to slay non Muslims if they attack you first."Would you not fight people who violated their treaties, tried to banish the messenger, and they are the ones who started the war in the first place? Are you afraid of them? GOD is the One you are supposed to fear, if you are believers." (Quran 9:13)But Quran forbids fighting against them if they want peace"But if the enemy incline towards peace, do thou (also) incline towardspeace, and trust in God: for He is One that hears and knows (all things)." (Quran 8:61)Also read the following verses"Remember thy lord has inspired the angels with the message. Give firmness to the believers and instill terror into the hearts of the unbelievers. Smite them above their necks and smite the fingertips of them." (Quran 8:12)"When you encounter the unbelievers, Strike off their heads. Untill you have made a wide slaughter among them tie up the remaining captives."(Quran 47:4)But we have to understanding the reason and historic context of revelationsThese verses were revealed when non-Muslims attacked Medina (Madina) to destroy Muslims. Allah (God) ordered Muslims to fight to defend their faith and lives. These verses were about 'The Battle of Badr' not for the daily affairs of Muslims. However, even during the battle Islam prohibited the killing of old person, women, and children.Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) said to His followers: "Do not kill any old person, any child or any woman" (Abu Dawud). "Do not kill the monks in monasteries" or "Do not kill the people who are sitting in places of worship""Allah only forbids you, with regard to those who fight you for (your) Faith, and drive you out of your homes, and support (others) in driving you out, from turning to them (for friendship and protection). It is such as turn to them (in these circumstances), that do wrong." (Quran 60:9)


How many people have memorized the quran?

As many times as they want or need! The Quran gives answers to all problems that humanity has. So if someone has a problem, he may use the Quran to find an answer to it. Muslims recite the Quran as a form of prayer. In the daily 5 times prayer, it is obligatory to recite verses from the Quran. Also, Muslims recite the Quran to increase their rewards from Allah. Reciting even a single letter of the Quran carries 10 rewards, which will be added to the person's record of good deeds. On the day Judgment, we shall all be judged according to our deeds. If our good deeds are more than the bad ones, we will go to the paradise, per God will and mercy. If the bad deeds are more than the good ones, we will be pushed to Hell, unless God grants us His Mercy and forgives us and accepts us in His paradise. So every single good deed counts. And reciting the Quran is the simplest way to increase the number of good deeds! Those who memorize the Quran have great great rewards that we cannot even dream of. Moreover, the recitation of the Quran gives a unique form of peace. It is a wonderful emotional experience. So whenever Muslims want some inner peace , they use the Quran. Reading Quran helps us to improve our morals and conduct and guides us to the righteous path. refer to the related question below for more information.
