Rare 19th-Century Quran on Display at Qur’an Museum in Mecca

A rare 19th-century manuscript of the Holy Qur’an is currently on display at the Qur’an Museum in the cultural district of Hira, showcasing exquisite Islamic artistry.
According to the Saudi Press Agency, the manuscript reflects the deep reverence Muslims have maintained for the Qur’an throughout history and highlights the exceptional craftsmanship involved in its decoration. The beginning, middle, and end of the manuscript feature intricate designs, gilded embellishments, and floral motifs, representing the pinnacle of Islamic calligraphy and artistic tradition.
The manuscript has been carefully preserved to protect its delicate artistic features for future generations. It is currently housed in the King Abdulaziz Library, demonstrating the institution’s commitment to safeguarding Islamic heritage.
