Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
We are in an educational institution that cares for the Book of Allah. What is the role of the one who memorizes the Noble Qur'an in his chest? And what is required of him if he falls short in acting upon the Qur'an, especially if the person is from this sacred land? And are there etiquettes that the bearer of the Qur'an must adopt?
Answer:
Yes, yes. The bearer of the Qur'an must observe the etiquettes of the Qur'an; by complying with its commands and leaving its prohibitions. He should divide it into portions as Allah makes it easy for him, and he should increase in its recitation, with reflection on its meanings. He should not be like the heedless who turn away, but rather he should realize what he carries of the Book of Allah through action, by adopting the morals of the Qur'an which Allah praised and called to, and by being cautious of the morals which Allah condemned and criticized, and condemned their people. He should be upright in obedience to Allah and His Messenger, and active in that day and night, and guard his time; so that he may be a good example and a good role model for his colleagues and others.
And the effects of the Book of Allah should be apparent on him in his speech, his actions, and his conduct, with his family, his neighbors, his colleagues, and others. This is how the believer is. Allah the Exalted said in describing the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him): [Al-Qalam: 4]. Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) said: "His character was the Qur'an, peace and blessings be upon him." Meaning: he complied with the commands of the Qur'an, refrained from its prohibitions, and observed the etiquettes that Allah praised in His Book and praised their people, and he was cautious of the morals and deeds that Allah condemned, or condemned their people.

وَإِنَّكَ لَعَلَى خُلُقٍ عَظِيمٍ
