Setting supplications and the Qur'an as a ringtone for the phone.
The Shaykh:
Supplications and the Qur'an are meant for obedience and drawing near to Allah through their recitation and performance, not for fulfilling a need such as alerting you to a call. The verses and supplications end, and then it is used for something other than the obedience of Allah the Exalted. Yes, and you can set an alert that is not verses or supplications.
