Athaan and Recitation as a ringtone?

[Al-Kashmiri]

The ruling on using the Athaan and the Noble Qur’aan instead of music on the cell phones.

Question:What is your opinion regarding whoever places on the cell phone instead of Music, the Athaan or recitation of the Noble Qur’aan?

Answer: This is degrading (or misusing) the Athaan, Thikr, and the Noble Qur’aan. So these should not be taken as alarms (i.e. ring tones). The Qur’aan is not to be taken for use as an alarm. It might be said: “This is better than music!” Ok, the music – are you forced to use it?! Leave the music, and put something that is an alarm tone (i.e. normal ringing). Something that does not contain music, nor does it contain Qur'aan. It should be a simple ring only.

I was always wondering that, I do hear the Quran as a ringtone sometimes, so this is good to know. You will not be focused on the Quran recitation, just that you have a call, and also beware of the Quran recitation in the bathroom also. Jazakallahu Khairan for sharing.

Baarakallaah feeki sister.

I think the worst cases of hearing such a ringtone go off are the following, both of which I have wtinessed.

1) The Imam is leading a loud prayer and a phone goes off with reciation.
2) Your burying the dead and the ringtone with Qur'aan goes off!

Good point. I always felt skeptical about them to be honest.

Ya Akhee,

It may have a benefit (it helps you wake up), but it is misusing the Qur'aan. I read in another article from the Arab News (or SPA),

MAKKAH, 9 November 2007 - The Islamic Jurisprudence Council banned the use of the verses of the Holy Qur'an as ringtones for mobile phones because it impinges on the sacred character of the Muslim Holy Book, the Saudi Press Agency reported yesterday.

"It is demeaning and degrading to the verses of the Holy Book to stop abruptly at the middle of a recitation or neglecting the recitation, as happens when they are used as ringtones in mobile phones. On the other hand, recording the verses from the Holy Qur'an in phone sets with the intention of recitation and listening is a virtuous act," the scholars attending the council said in a statement.

Make sence. How about Nasheed ringtone? Like the one i'm using. I try to avoid carrying my hp to the toilet even when taking wuduh.

But onces while praying in a solat room. My hp goes off & i'm sure the other ppl in there are annoyed with me. I salam them after solat & apologist.

Wasalammualaikum

Jazzak-Allah khairyan for sharing,Masha`llah earnt something new.

While we are on the ringtone subject akhi what about simple nasheeds,E.G Ahmed Bukhatir as a incoming ringtone?

Salam Alykom,

I would suggest brothers and sisters to use quran as an alarm instead of a ringtone. Imagine your in the toilet and your phone rings? .. Just to respect the Athan as well as quran i suggest its much better if we use them as an Alarm only. For ringtones we could use Nasheeds, but again be careful if the words of the Nasheeds contain the name of Allah in them.

Thats all

JazakAllah khair for this thread!

as alaram or ring phone is haram ,and search why !
,,,,,
because then what is the value of the quraan or athan to but as alaram or to read and undersatnd and then work with what u know if the holy quraan so, ahl al3ilm they say no= the scholars of ahl assonaah say no
so fear allah and do not the quraan as ring phone
and i ask allah to be in the right way always

Allah says in his holy book,"والسماء ذات الرجع * والأرض ذات الصدع * إنه لقول فصل * وما هو بالهزل"
" By the sky with its returning rain, and by the earth bursting with vegetation;this(the holy Quran) is indeed a Decisive Word. It is not a jest"
