This Qur’an being “ Kitaa-bullah ” (the book of Allah), must be

approached unlike any other book.

It is sad that we Muslims sometimes do not even know that there

are ADAB concerning how we are to approach the Qur’an. Thus the lack

of these adab only obstruct us from its benefits.

We are to be aware of the value of the Qur’an.
