Is it okay to pack my Qur'an in a box with other books when moving?

Assalamu alaikum, I've heard that you shouldn't place anything on top of the Qur'an, not even another book or anything else. Well, I'm going to move to a different city soon, insha'Allah. Is it allowed to put my Qur'an in a box along with other books, or would that be disrespectful? JazakAllah khair

Better safe than sorry! I'd never put my Quran under other books. Use a box just for it, or put it on the very top. Moving is stressful but barakah will come inshaAllah.

Don't overthink it, but definitely keep the mushaf on top and wrapped in clean cloth. Make dua for your move! I'm also moving next month and I'll be doing the same.

Maybe wrap it in a nice scarf and tie the box with a ribbon? That way it's protected and you know where it is. And yes, on top of everything. Barakallahu feekum!

My grandmother used to say even a single word of the Quran deserves the highest place. So separate box, top of everything. That's what I do, even for small trips.

Wa alaikum assalam! I always keep my mushaf in a separate bag on top of the other books in the box. Maybe wrap it in a nice cloth first. It shows extra love!

Honestly sis, I've packed my Quran in a box with other books plenty of times, but I always placed it on top. Just be careful and respectful. May Allah make your move easy!

Sister, I think intention matters most. If you pack it carefully, maybe on top, that's fine. But to be safe, just keep it in your purse or a separate small bag.
