Muslims should not download verses from the Quran as mobile ringtones

A Senior Bahraini religious leader has warned Muslims against downloading verses from the Quran as mobile ringtones. Those who do so are disrespecting the words of Allah, according to Discover Islam Sharia adviser and director Shaikh Essam Ishaq. Gulf Daily News reports.

He said the motive for using such ringtones was often respect for Islam, but revealed people who did so could be unwittingly undermining their religion since incomplete verses could change the meaning of the Quran completely. "Quran is the spoken word of Allah and for guidance, but not for ringtones," said Shaikh Ishaq.
