Question Summary
Is it sinful or disbelief to keep a copy of the Qur’an in a very messy room?
Question Answer
In the Name of Allah, the Most Merciful and Compassionate
It is not disbelief to keep one’s Qur’an in a messy room. It is, however, from the etiquettes of the Qur’an to keep it in a raised place. [Ibn ‘Abidin, Radd al-Muhtar]
Cleanliness is from Faith
Regarding the messy room, cleanliness is of the important fundamentals of Islam. The Messenger of Allah (Allah bless him and give him peace) said, “Cleanliness is half of faith.” [Muslim]
This applies to spiritual and physical cleanliness and can also be applied generally to all aspects of the Believer’s life. For some, cleanliness and tidiness come naturally, and for others, it doesn’t. However, if you intend to follow the Prophet (may Allah bless him and give him peace), you will be rewarded for keeping up the tidiness of your room.
Hope this helps
