Respect Koran!

Some Muslim demand respect for Koran. Respect is earned, not given. Should I respect Koran more than Allah? Obviously not, right? Obviously, Allah demands more respect than the printed words on paper made in China.

Uthman Taha wrote Koran with his own hand. Should we respect his work?

I can’t read Arabic, nor do I understand spoken Arabic. Yet, Allah expects me to listen and understand Muhammad the speaker for Allah the idol:

And if We had made it a foreign [i.e., non-Arabic] Qur’ān, they would have said, “Why are its verses not explained in detail [in our language]? Is it a foreign [recitation] and an Arab [messenger]?”

Say, “It is, for those who believe, a guidance and cure.”

And those who do not believe – in their ears is deafness, and it is upon them blindness.

Those are being called from a distant place.
Koran 41:44

So why should I read an Arabic Koran, as I’m not an Arab or Arabic reader? So why should I listen to the dead Muhammad, who can’t speak Arabic?

So, [O Muḥammad], We have only made it [i.e., the Qur’ān] easy in your tongue [i.e., the Arabic language] that you may give good tidings thereby to the righteous and warn thereby a hostile people.
Koran 19:97

And We did not send any messenger except [speaking] in the language of his people to state clearly for them, and Allāh sends astray [thereby] whom He wills1 and guides whom He wills.

And He is the Exalted in Might, the Wise.
Koran 14:4

And We certainly know that they say, “It is only a human being who teaches him [i.e., the Prophet].”

The tongue of the one they refer to is foreign, and this [recitation, i.e., Qur’ān] is [in] a clear Arabic language.
Koran 16:103
