Using a verse of the Quran as a school/madrasah 'anthem'

· 22 Rabiʻ II 1445 AH1 min readEnglish

Question

Please advise if it is permissible to use a verse of the Quran as a school/madrasah 'anthem'.

واعتصموا بحبل الله جميعا و لا تفرقوا

With a brief meaning: Hold on to the rope of Quran and Sunnah as taught to us by our righteous Ulama.

Answer

If the anthem does not contain anything against Islam and the sunnah, but is promoting the preservation of Islam, Islamic values and the sunnah, then it is permissible for one to include this aayat in the anthem as a proof and support of the haq.

And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
