Asalam O Alaikum

I was going thru this thread long back posted by someone on GS. I wanted to revive the discussion on it so here it is :

Holding The Quran Over The Brides Head...

I had a short argument with one of my friends over same topic some months ago. I was saying that there is no harm doing so i.e. holding Quran over Bride and Groom's head. Or actually not only at wedding ocassions but when you are going on any long journey or going on some mission etc, this tradition is practiced by most of muslim families.

My point is that Islam is not a narrow minded religion and it does give place to those traditions n cultures which do not conflict or clash with the basic beliefs of Islam. This tradition in subject is one of such kind of traditions.

We hold Quran coz its the book of Allah, we are supposed to follow it. Its blessing for us Muslims. Its a written guide for us. Usually a small amount of money is kept on the Quran which is given to a needy as your Jaan and Maal sadqa. Sadqa is not forbidden, so what is wrong in doing so?
