Young Pakistani Doctor Amara Afshin Gains Recognition for Handwriting the Holy Quran with Gold and Zamzam Water

Rawalpindi: Dr. Amara Afshin, a young doctor from the twin cities of Rawalpindi and Islamabad, has earned widespread recognition after hand-copying the Holy Quran using gold and Zamzam water, a project she describes as a lifelong mission inspired by her faith.

Speaking about the inspiration behind her work, Dr. Afshin said her mother had a dream eight years ago in which she saw her daughter writing the Holy Quran. Although her mother initially forgot about the dream, she later recalled it and shared it with her. Dr. Afshin said that from that day onward, she resolved to begin the project in earnest.

She said the Quran was written with gold ink and Zamzam water, a unique achievement that has drawn appreciation both in Pakistan and internationally.

According to Dr. Afshin, she worked on the manuscript while visiting some of Islam’s holiest sites, including the Grand Mosque (Masjid al-Haram), the Prophet’s Mosque (Al-Masjid an-Nabawi), and Muzdalifah.

One of the most memorable moments of her journey, she said, was presenting a handwritten copy of the Holy Quran at the Prophet’s Mosque, an experience she described as a profound spiritual honor.

Her work has attracted attention in religious, academic, and artistic circles, and she says she has received several national and international awards in recognition of the achievement.

Members of the local community and social organizations have praised Dr. Afshin’s accomplishment, describing it as an inspiring example for young people of how dedication, perseverance, and commitment can lead to extraordinary achievements.
