Is it ok for a non-muslim like me to read a Quran?

Hello there,

If you are sincere in your research and you are not going to abuse the noble Qur’an then I don’t see why it would be a problem.

I am sure you can read the English translated version.

Or if you want to read the Arabic without touching it then visit this site.

But if you want to know whether the Quran is the words of our creator Allah (SWT) or not then click here.

You will be amazed by noble meanings in the holy Quran. And if you know Arabic, you will be amzed more and more for its miraculous style.

Yeah i dont think there would be a problem. Educating youreslef is actually a very good thing.

Those to whom We have sent the Book study it as it should be studied: They are the ones that believe therein: Those who reject faith therein,- the loss is their own. (2:121)

The Quran is for all of mankind. Everyone who is capable of reading should read it. But you must approach it with a pure heart and an open mind. May Allah guide you.

Peace.

Hello,

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).

A non-Muslim should not handle the sacred text, but may listen to tapes of the Qur'an or handle a translation. (If you cannot perform wudu)

There is no restriction on who can and can't read the Qur'an it was written for all of humanity,

Allah says, "And we have indeed made the Quran easy to understand and remember."

Allahu Alim (Allah knows best)

Peace be upon those who follow guidance.
