Qur’an preservation is a responsibility shared across the Muslim community.
A lasting preservation system depends on the combined participation of masjids, madrasas, families, institutions, scholars, volunteers and supporters.
Every group has a clear role in the preservation network.
Masjids
They can serve as local collection points, awareness centres and volunteer-coordination hubs.
Madrasas
They can educate students and families about Qur’an care and support safe handover.
Families / Households
Unused or aged Mushafs can be kept separate from ordinary waste and handed over through a collection point or doorstep collection service.
Islamic Institutions
Institutions can participate in collection, secure storage, awareness, transport coordination and redistribution.
Religious Scholars
They can provide guidance on classification, handling, Shariah matters, review of approved operating procedures and public awareness.
Volunteers & Supporters
Communities can help by collecting safely, sharing correct guidance, hosting verified collection points, supporting pickup coordination and volunteering.
A masjid can become a trusted and accessible local collection point.
Masjids are often the most familiar community institutions and can support safe receiving, awareness and referral into the approved QP Network workflow.
- Operate as an approved collection point.
- Provide a dedicated, secure storage space for Mushafs.
- Raise awareness so that Mushafs are not mixed with ordinary waste collection.
- Coordinate handover with the QP Network volunteer or doorstep collection team.
- For larger quantities, arrange pickup or handover in advance.
Build a culture of responsible Qur’an care in the next generation.
Madrasas are important places where children and young people can learn respect for the Qur’an and proper care from an early age.
- Provide guidance on how to handle an aged or damaged Mushaf.
- Teach that damaged Qur’anic pages should not be placed in ordinary paper waste.
- Help families find the nearest collection point.
- Periodically review older copies held by the institution.
- Consider becoming a collection-point partner where appropriate.
Qur’an preservation begins at home.
Homes may contain Mushafs that have remained unused for years, have damaged binding, missing covers, water damage or partial deterioration.
- Keep Mushafs separate from other old books and materials.
- Do not hand them over with scrap or paper waste.
- Keep wet or severely damaged copies separately wrapped or contained.
- Find the nearest collection point and hand them over safely.
- If a collection point is not available, submit a doorstep collection request.
Your Masjid, Madrasa or institution can join as a QP collection point.
Institutions wishing to operate as collection points must follow QP Network verification, approved operating procedures, secure-storage guidance and coordination processes.
The community should know the correct course of action before a problem arises.
QP Network is not only about collection. A long-term solution also requires reducing the lack of awareness and confusion that can cause Mushafs to enter ordinary waste streams.
Madrasas can teach children and families how to care for Mushafs and where to hand over worn or damaged copies safely.
Institutions handling larger quantities of Mushafs need structured coordination.
Masjids, Madrasas, Qur’an learning centres, Islamic schools, libraries, service organisations and similar institutions may periodically accumulate larger quantities of older Mushafs.
Such institutions may need scheduled collection, bulk handover, safe-storage guidance and documentation. QP Network aims to develop a structured partnership model to coordinate these needs.
The network works best when responsible people are available in every locality.
Volunteers are important for Collection Point support, doorstep collection coordination, awareness, documentation, institutional follow-up and local communication.
People willing to understand and follow QP Network operating procedures, code-of-conduct requirements, Shariah guidance and safety practices may apply to join the volunteer network.
Community participation does not make final handling a personal decision.
The role of a Collection Point is to receive Mushafs safely and transfer them into the approved QP workflow. Independently deciding how to carry out final handling is not part of the QP Network model.
Classification, restoration, redistribution and final handling are carried out according to approved operating procedures and qualified scholarly guidance.
Your masjid, madrasa, family or institution can take part.
Host or support a collection point, volunteer, help with awareness, or hand over unused Mushafs through a verified channel.
