Learned Muslims in china have been studying Arabic and producing printed and written Arabic texts since the Tang dynasty. This Qur’an is a beautiful example of Arabic calligraphy written in China.
…placed at Royal Museum of Ontario (ROM)
i actually went to that museum and took the picture…u guys seriously cant imagine my feelings at that moment. i soooo wanted to touch those words…but it was secured behind the glass walls. :hinna:
ps. prolly this way many of us gonna touch it…well dont forget to do the Wu’zu before taking its picture.
ps2. ppl please no googling. We all have exact same copy of Quran in our house. so it will be great if you present it artistically in ur signature.
These ancient copies of Quran are preserved in Beit-al-Quran, a museum in Bahrain
"Beit al-Quran is a very elegant museum. It was recently built in the traditional Bahraini religious architecture to house an amazing and extremely rare collection of ancient Qurans (Islam’s holy book) dating as far back as the 7th century AD. Throughout Islamic history, Qurans became a form artistic expression with beautiful calligraphy and colourful drawings. The museum is very nicely laid out and walks the visitor through the development of the Quran, its art, and Arabic calligraphy over time and across the various dominant Islamic empires. "
Just wanted to share the pics of this very special Quran of mine. My grandmother’s Quran and she left it for me in her will. She was dying in the hospital and she told me that she wanted me to have the Quran because i am a partial hafiz and because it was her wish; she said no matter what happens i should not loose it:teary1: it is still with me after all these years.
