Facebook Page named After Quranic Verse

15-12-2011

Question 168651

Is it permissible to name a religious page on Facebook after a verse from the Quran?

Answer

Praise be to Allah.

What is required is to respect and venerate the Quran and not show disrespect to its verses by naming a place, website, page or a person after them, because Allah did not send down the Quran for that purpose, and because that is exposing the Quran to disrespect and being uttered in vain.  

And Allah knows best.
