do you take ablutions before holding the Quran? <--- only the pure at heart are allowed to hold the Qur'an.... 'at heart' right, then why make something simple like reading a book, become such a hassle? But, If its for the afdhal feeling, I understand..
do you refrain from reciting the quran during your period? <--- what if my mother is dying and asks me/or I voluntarily wish to recite the Quran for her?
do you believe that Allah will not listen to your prayers for 40 days if you've drunk alcohol or done drugs or even gambled? <--- what if someone begs for forgiveness before the 40 days? will that be rejected by God Oft Forgiving? For some people might even think, Great! Then I don't have to do my 5 times daily for 40 days. In my opinion, the saying '40 days' is just symbolical, and shouldn't be understood literally.. Wallahualam bisshawab
