Largest handwritten Quran at museum

A manuscript copy of the Holy Quran, considered the largest of its kind in the world, tops the exhibits of the Holy Quran Museum in the Hira Cultural District of Mecca. It measures 312 x 220 centimetres and contains about 700 pages, which qualified the museum to obtain a certificate from the Guinness Book of World Records, as it contains the largest copy of the Holy Quran in the world. The Quran is an enlarged copy of a historical Quran dating back to the tenth century AH (sixteenth century AD). The original copy measures 45 x 30 centimetres, and its surahs were written in Thuluth script, while Surah Al Fatihah was written in Naskh script, in an artistic reflection that expresses the precision of the selection and the aesthetics of diversity in the arts of Arabic calligraphy in that era.
