Question
The Islamic school plans to change the system of teaching the Qur'aan Shareef from the floor to desks in the same style as secular education is imparted. Is this permissible?
Answer
The school may not be described as an 'Islamic' school. It is a non-Muslim secular school. It is not permissible to change to the kuffaar desk system for Qur'aan ta'leem and tilaawat. In these so-called 'Islamic' schools, pupils sit at desks with their backs towards the Qur'aan Majeed. The Qur'aan is treated in exactly the same way as the other school books. The desks are not facing one another. They are lined up, with a pupil with his Qur'aan facing the back of the pupil sitting in front of him. Such disrespect for the Kalaam of Allah Azza Wa Jal is blasphemous
