Respecting the Symbols of Deen

Hazrat Mufti Ebrahim Salejee (Daamat Barakaatuhu) mentioned:

One of the main methods of drawing the grace and forgiveness of Allah Ta‘ala is showing respect to the symbols of deen (e.g. the azaan, the musjid, Ramadhaan etc.) or anything connected to deen. There are incidents of people who were forgiven on account of showing respect to the azaan, the Quraan Shareef etc.
