Tomatoes are being sold wrapped in pages of Quranic translations in Tashkent

Yesterday, a video of tomatoes being delivered to the Food City market in special boxes for customers to consume went viral on social media. What is striking and very painful is that the fruits are wrapped in these boxes with pages from a concise interpretation of the Holy Quran, translated by Sheikh Abdulaziz Mansur.

This situation raises a number of serious and justified questions. The excuse of “not enough paper” is inappropriate here. Because these pages contain not only Arabic, but also Uzbek translations - also in the Krill alphabet. Therefore, any person of ordinary level is able to understand the content of these pages. Given this, using them for any other purpose is not ignorance, but deliberate disrespect!

Even more painful is the condition in which these pages are being used? They are currently being used to wrap vegetables, are being trampled underfoot, and are probably being dumped in the toilet. Who can guarantee that such humiliation will not incur the wrath of Allah? Using the pages of the Quran as paper is not a small, insignificant matter. This is neither ignorance nor simple negligence - this is a senseless and worthless approach!!!

Respect for the Quran is not only demonstrated by holding it in our hands and reading it, but also by our overall attitude towards it!
