Abstract

This study investigates the disposal practices of Qur'anic literature and related materials in Malaysia, emphasizing the importance of preserving their sanctity and preventing misuse. Through interviews with stakeholders involved in the process, the research highlights both institutional and personal methods of disposal. The findings aim to improve understanding of proper disposal techniques, offering practical guidance to Muslim communities and authorities. By following these recommended practices, the sanctity of Qur'anic materials can be upheld, ensuring their respectful handling and disposal when they are no longer needed. This contributes to maintaining the dignity and reverence of Islamic literature in everyday life.
