As a history student learning about faiths, is it okay for me to get a Quran?

Assalamu alaikum! I hope I’m not overstepping, but I’ve got a question about buying a Quran. I’m a history major and I really want to study different religions, so I’m wondering if it’s alright for me to have one in Arabic just to learn and appreciate it. If that’s okay, please let me know. I also want to handle this book with the highest respect, so if there are any specific rules I should follow while reading it, do tell me. JazakAllah khair for any help or advice you can give. Have a blessed day.

Of course it’s okay, sis. The Quran is for all of humanity. Just make sure you’re in a state of wudu before touching the Arabic text, and keep it in a clean, high place. Your respect already shows in your words. May this journey open your heart.

This is so pure honestly. You’re not overstepping at all. A tip: don’t place it on the floor and try not to leave it open when you’re not reading. And no one else’s opinion matters more than your sincere intention which is so clear.

I remember being terrified to even touch a mushaf when I was learning. Go for it, and don’t stress. They say even looking at the words is worship. Just wash your hands and find a quiet corner. The fact you asked first says everything about your character.
