against Quran burning

Allah has taken the following responsibilities as regards the Qur'an:

1. The collection, composition and arrangement of the Quran

"It is for Us to collect, compose and arrange it and to promulgate it:" [75:17]

2. The Proclamation/promulgation of the Quran

"It is for Us to collect, compose and arrange it and to promulgate it:" [75:17]

However, the prophet [p.b.u.h] was also commanded to proclaim or read

"Proclaim! (or read!) in the name of your Lord and Cherisher, Who created- " [96:1]

"Proclaim! And your Lord is Most Bountiful,- [96:3]

See also 73:20

The proclamation and reading of the Quran is also to be done by the Believers [See 16:98]

The proclamation/promulgation of the Quran is one of those responsibilities taken by Allah which the believers take upon themselves when they become believers.

3. Making it plain, distinct, clear and perspicuous

...It is for Us to explain it (and make it clear) [75:19]

4. The Preservation of the Quran

Verily, it is We Who have sent down the Dhikr (i.e. the Quran) and surely We guard it [15:9]
