Arising in the comments to the question https://islam.stackexchange.com/q/36165/17163 was the fact that I don't own a Qur'an. (Maybe I should be embarrassed about this.) The contents of the Qur'an are accessible through the Internet (e.g. Quran.com or IslamAwakened.com for English versions), along with numerous translations and tafseer. I have copies of it on my computer and my phone in English, and I often read it from my phone when I have to wait for something (e.g. on a flight). I don't speak or read Arabic. **Question**: As a non-Arabic-speaking Muslim, is it important for me to own a physical copy of the Qur'an? I presume there's no advantage of having an English-language hard copy, but there seems to be something special about owning an Arabic Qur'an.
