The answer

Writing Qur'anic verses, Hadiths, and supplications on the walls of mosques and homes is (disliked) and an innovation (bid'ah), because it distracts worshipers and turns mosques into museums. Furthermore, it is not befitting for the Qur'an, which was revealed for contemplation and action, not for adornment. As for decorating and embellishing mosques, the preponderant opinion is that it is forbidden, especially if done with endowment funds or if it distracts worshipers.
