FAQ:

Are the musaahif (copies of the Arabic only Qur’an) literally recycled?
No. Complete Arabic only Musaahif will be burned, following the example of Uthman ibn Affan (RA). All other items will be recycled.

What can I send?
You can send newspapers, magazines, pluggers, flyers, paper posters, and books (HB & SB).

How much does this cost?
Furqaan Recycling is a service of Al-Furqaan Foundation - a non-profit Qur'an centered organization. While we request a minimum donation of $1 for every 2lb you mail, we would appreciate as much as you can donate to keep this and other projects growing.

Purpose:

To fulfill our duty as care takers of the earth. Allah (SWT) has made man the Khalif over the earth and He has charged the Musims with enjoining the good and forbidding the wrong.

To help masajid, Islamic centers, institutions, and people get rid of paper material which they consider sacred (but not usable or very old) in a permissible (halal) manner.

Process of Recycling:

Materials will be sent to our offices. Once at our location the materials will be placed in special containers until they are full. Next a contracted destruction company will come to our location and shred the paper materials into fine strains on our premises while we watch. Next the shreds will be taken to a recycling facility and recycled into new paper products.

Copies of the Quran will be handled by Muslims alone and will not go through the same process as the other paper material.

Respectfully dispose scripture & help preserve our planet. Recycle with Furqaan Recycling.
