Part of: Choosing a madrasah bag
ExplainerWhat is a Quran bag?
A Quran bag is any bag or case made mainly to carry the Quran. It ranges from a small zipped case that holds only the mushaf (sometimes with a tasbih pocket) to a full madrasah bag or satchel that also holds exercise books and a pencil case. Case-style bags suit adults and travel; madrasah bags suit students.
Types of Quran bag
| Type | Holds | Best for |
|---|---|---|
| Quran cover / ghilaf | The mushaf only | Keeping any Quran clean at home |
| Zipped Quran case | Mushaf, tasbih, sometimes a small prayer mat | Adults, travel, going to the mosque |
| Madrasah bag / satchel | Mushaf, exercise books, pencil case, topi or hijab | Children and students at classes |
Quran bag vs madrasah bag
All madrasah bags are Quran bags, but not all Quran bags are big enough for madrasah. If a child needs to carry an exercise book, a case-style Quran bag is too small. See what is a madrasah bag.
