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 bag that also holds exercise books and a pencil case. Case-style bags suit adults and travel; madrasah bags suit students.

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.
