Ancient Quranic Manuscript on Display at Holy Quran Museum in Makkah

 The Museum of the Holy Quran in the Hira Cultural District of Makkah is showcasing a rare Quranic manuscript exemplifying Muslim devotion to the Holy Quran. This museum-grade Quran, written on roll paper, was completed in India during the 12th century AH (the 18th century AD).
 Featuring Naskh and Thuluth scripts, the manuscript displays artistic skill and precision. Its diverse orientations and unconventional styles showcase creativity in Quranic production.
 Measuring approximately five meters in length and seven centimeters in width, the scroll is unique in shape and size, reflecting the ingenuity of Quranic craftsmen in maximizing narrow spaces for clarity and aesthetic appeal.
 Part of the King Faisal Center for Research and Islamic Studies (KFCRIS) collection, which houses a rich assortment of rare Islamic artifacts, this manuscript's display at the Holy Quran Museum is part of a cultural partnership with KFCRIS. This initiative aims to enrich visitors' intellectual experience and provide access to unique examples of Islamic heritage.
