Ethics of Quran Content: Three Red Lines | Quran Reels
A Quran clip is not ordinary content: errors multiply silently and claims stick to your name. Three red lines hold the whole practice — exact text, honest credit, verified claims — and everything else is craft built on top of them.
- Never alter, illustrate over, or re-letter the ayah itself.
- Credit reciter, surah and source in every publication — no exceptions.
- Make no claim (fatwa, guarantee, discovery) you cannot back.
Line one: the text is untouchable
Copy the Uthmani text directly; never retype or 'improve' it. If an error reaches the feed, correct it visibly — hiding a textual error costs more trust than fixing it publicly.
Design around the text, never through it: no effects that distort letterforms, no cropping that cuts a word.
Lines two and three: credit and verification
Every publication names the surah and reciter; re-used recordings also name their source. Attribution is a duty, not a courtesy.
As for claims: if your evidence is a forwarded message, it is not content yet. Use official calendars, documented sources — or stay silent until they speak.

FAQ
What if I published a textual error?
Correct it immediately with a clear note. Audiences forgive swift fixes; they remember cover-ups.
Can I use the Quran in promotional copy?
Publish it as guidance and recitation, not as a slogan pushing a sale — dignity is the operating standard.
Is credit alone enough for reused audio?
Credit is required; check the recording's license too. Both, not either.
