Furqaan Recycling is a project of Al-Furqaan Foundation.
The Furqaan Recycling project operates on a non-profit basis as a service to the community.
Religious obligation to respectfully dispose sacred text
We Muslims believe that the Quran contains the exact words of Allah, therefore the printed text itself should be treated with a great deal of respect. Proper handling of the sacred text should be disposed in a clean respectable way.
Children’s schoolbooks, magazines, fliers are often seen lying around and are thrown into the trash knowingly which is a sin. The words of Allah must be disposed of in a way that shows reverence to the holiness of the text.

Goal of this Project
Furqaan Recycling mission is to provide a solution to Islamic institutions,
in a Shari’ah compliant way to dispose of sacred text and to enjoin Muslims in their duty as caretakers of the Earth. This is to ensure sacred text stepped upon, or thrown anywhere in unclean places.
