Someone told me you must not read the Qur'an unless you've just washed your body (got out the bath or shower) is this true? I am confuse as i have seen a woman sitting on the bus reading through hers. Also an Arab girl once told me its ok for me to read islamic books but not to touch the Arabic writing, is that true? I am also wondering what SWT means and the word Ameen. Sorry so many questions but any answers would be very helpful
Are There Things You Should Do Before Reading The Qur'an?

Assalaamu'alaykum.
You need ablution (wudhu) for certain acts of worship, such as praying (salaah) and reading qur'aan. The lady on the bus who was reading the qur'aan proberbly made ablution before she went out. You don't need wudhu if your going to read the translation of the qur'aan but the qur'aan with arabic text.
SWT is short for subhaanahu wa ta'alaa, and means 'May He be glorified and exalted', which is commonly said after one mentions Allaah.
Ameen means amen, which we say after making du'aa (supplication). Ameen means like may Allaah make it come true.
This is how to make wudhu: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DaKb2zX1QBs&feature=related
Hope that helps.
Edit: You may see people using SAW, which is short for Sal Allaahu 'Alaihi Wa Sallaam, which means 'peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him', which is said after mentioning Prophet Muhammad.

Praise be to Allah!
By saying arabic writings you mean just any arabic writing (i.e. arabic other than the Qur'aan) then people have a common misconceptions that if any book is written in arabic (or has arabic writings) then it is not permissible to touch that book and this is completely wrong, rather the ruling only applies to that arabic which is from the Qur'aan.
As for touching islaamic books that have a few Qur'aanic verses in them, then it is permissible to touch them without wudoo' or in a state of impurity
Also SWT is short for "Subhaanahu wa t`aala" which means 'Glorified is He, the Most High' (referring to Allaah)
