Shafaqna English- Within the Hira Cultural District in Makkah, the Holy Quran Museum proudly displays an important historical artifact: a handwritten manuscript of the Holy Quran that dates back to the 18th century.
This prized possession offers visitors a rare glimpse into the rich heritage of Quranic preservation.
This manuscript exemplifies the extraordinary attention to detail that was devoted to both the transcription and the artistic embellishment of the Holy Quran during that era.
It beautifully captures the aesthetic refinement and calligraphic mastery that defined Islamic decorative arts of the 18th century.
The scribe employed black ink to compose this manuscript, which uniquely blends characteristics from multiple schools of Islamic calligraphy.
