ISLAMABAD: A rare hand-written version of the world’s largest Holy Quran has been unveiled at the Kashmir Press Club in Mirpur, Azad Jammu Kashmir.
This monumental Quran, measuring 41 feet in length and 8.5 feet in width, was meticulously crafted by renowned religious scholar and calligrapher Pir Imtiaz Haider Shah Noorani Mujadadi.
The three-day exhibition, which started on Sunday, invites visitors to witness the sacred manuscript, complete with Urdu translations of every verse. Open to the general public, the display attracts religious scholars, students, and people from all walks of life.
Pir Imtiaz Haider Shah Noorani Mujadadi shared that the project took 425 days to complete, followed by three months of assembly.
Previously showcased in several cities across Pakistan, this is the first time the Quran has been exhibited in Mirpur.
The public viewing, or “pilgrimage,” will run until Tuesday, September 10, from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. each day, according to Kashmir Press Club President Syed Abid Hussain Shah.
