What is the ruling on purchasing and possessing the colorful, thematic "Mushaf al-Taqsim al-Mawdu'i" (Thematic Division Qur'an) printed by Dar Ghar Hira, and on reading and memorizing from it?
Dividing the Mushaf into thematic sections is an act of ijtihad (independent reasoning). Scholars have approved it due to its permissibility and its facilitation of memorization, understanding Quranic themes, and comparing verses. It should be treated as an ijtihad that may be right or wrong, not as an act of worship. Furthermore, one should engage in thought and reflection regarding the possibility of dividing the surahs in other ways.
