How much should we reverence  the holy Quran?

 

[The glorious Quran 17:44]  Glorifying Him(God) are the seven universes, the earth, and everyone in them. There is nothing that does not glorify Him, but you do not understand their glorification. He is Clement, Forgiver.

[17:107]  Proclaim, "Believe in it, or do not believe in it." Those who possess knowledge from the previous scriptures, when it (Quran) is recited to them, they fall down to their chins, prostrating.

[17:108]  They say, "Glory be to our Lord. This fulfills our Lord's prophecy."

[17:109]  They fall down on their chins, prostrating and weeping, for it augments their reverence.

A typical example; how a true believer reverences God messages[17:109].

[19:58] These are some of the prophets whom GOD blessed. They were chosen from among the descendants of Adam, and the descendants of those whom we carried with Noah, and the descendants of Abraham and Israel, and from among those whom we guided and selected. When the revelations of the Most Gracious(God) are recited to them, they fall prostrate, weeping.

[50:1]  Q., and the glorious Quran.

[85:21]  Indeed, it is a glorious Quran.

Allah's Prophets were falling prostrate and weeping when God revelations (Torah, Gospel, Quran etc.) were recited in front of them. Do we revere the holy Quran up to same amount at least? The holy Quran indeed deserves such honor as it comes from the Lord of the Universe.
