Muslims treat the Qur'an with great respect and love, as they believe that it is all words from Allah
For Example:
Before they leave a room Muslims have to make sure that the Qur'an is the highest book in the room because its the most important book, therefor they will either put it on a high shelf or on top of their bookshelf
Most reigions have a holy book or scripture that holds the wisdom and teachings of their religion and word of their God . These holy books are used to guide the way to live and to think. Holy books are treated with respect. Muslims observe the Qu'ran the way a Christian observe their Bible and in this respect are no different to other religions.
The Arabic text of the holy Quran, when printed in a book, is known as the mus-haf(literally, "the pages"). There are special rules that Muslims follow when handling, touching, or reading from the mus-haf.
The Qur'an itself states that only those who are clean and pure should touch the sacred text: "This is indeed a Holy Qur'an, in a book well-guarded, which none shall touch but those who are clean..." (56:77-79). The Arabic word translated here as "clean" is mutahiroon, a word that is also sometimes translated as "purified".
Some argue that this purity or cleanliness is of the heart, i.e. that only Muslim believers should handle the Qur'an. However, the majority of Islamic scholars interpret these verses to also refer to a physical cleanliness or purity, which is attained by making formal ablutions (wudu). Therefore, most Muslims believe that only those who are physically clean through formal ablutions should touch the pages of the Qur'an.
As a result of this general understanding, the following "rules" are usually followed when handling the Qur'an:
1) One should make formal ablutions before handling the Qur'an or reading from its text.
2) One who is in need of a formal bath (after intercourse or menstrual bleeding) should not touch the Qur'an until after bathing.
3) A non-Muslim should not handle the sacred text, but may listen to tapes of the Qur'an or handle a translation or exegesis.
4) Those who are unable to handle the Qur'an based on these reasons should either avoid handling the Qur'an completely, or in necessity hold it while using some sort of barrier covering the hand, such as a cloth or a glove.
In addition, when one is not reading or reciting from the Qur'an, it should be closed and stored a clean, respectable place. Nothing should be placed on top of it, nor should it ever be placed on the floor or in a bathroom. To further show respect for the sacred text, those who are writing it should use clear, elegant handwriting, and those who are reading from it should use clear, beautiful voices.
In summary, Muslims believe that the Holy Qur'an should be handled with the deepest respect. However, God is All-Merciful and we cannot be held responsible for what we do in ignorance or by mistake. The Qur'an itself says: "Our Lord! Punish us not if we forget or fall into error" (2:286). Therefore, there is no sin in Islam on the person who mishandles the Qur'an by accident or without the realization of wrongdoing. Peace.
Answer #3 is incorrect. A non-Muslim is permitted to handle the Quran. There were no "tapes or audio cd" back in the days. This is the only way an interested non-Muslim is able to learn. The Quran is not only designed for Muslims, but also for non-Muslim who are interested in learning more of Islam.
Muslims believe in their holy book Quran and believe that Quran is authentic and truly reflecting God (Allah) words without single letter alteration or falsification. Consequently:
This would depend on who you ask. A Muslim would treat it with respect as a Holy Book.
A non-Muslim, a Christian, may think of it as something bad or evil because it contradicts The Bible.
This question is actually almost impossible to answer since it really depends on the individual, there are no rules to how a person will treat anything. Everyone treats everything differently.
The holy book of Muslims is Quran that was revealed by Allah (or God in English and same God in Christianity and Judaism) to prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) through the angel Gabriel (or Jibril).
