Ancient Manuscript Holy Quran - Around 400 Years Old Antique

  • 11 years ago
This is a very decorative masterpiece manuscript Qur'an from the 16th century. The date (1045 Hijri) is written at the end of the last sura al-Nas, and is almost 387 years old. It is a rare and priceless treasure. This magnificent Qur'an was written in the time of MUGHAL EMPEROR SHAH JAHAN (builder of the Taj Mahal).

Details: Size 14x10x4 cm. with brown leather binding, written in unique calligraphic style Naskh Arabic script in black ink illuminated, Liberal golden inlay work and decorative designs made from Ink of precious stones: Ruby, Cinnabar, Lapis Lazuli and floral ink. First two suras of the Qur'an al-Fatiha and the initial lines of al-Baqara are decorated with highly interactive design; both are almost completely covered with gold illumination. The title of each sura is written in high-purity red blue ink and gold. Gold roundels at the end of verses also, each and every page has gold frame, all pages are in cream color with highly polished beige rag paper, and between the every two text pages transparent golden butter paper is attached. It is a complete Qur'an, without missing any page, partly restored with small damages, generally in excellent condition due to its age. It is a living miracle of unique Islamic work of art. It might be of the worth of a whole treasure.

This responsibility lies upon Islamic Governments and Museums to preserve this type of valuable antiques because it's very important for Islamic history/culture.

As a Muslim it's our duty to play our role for the preservation of this highly artistic manuscript antique. Therefore, I would like to invite you and give you a chance (as a gift) to buy this superior antique manuscript Holy Qur'an by “hadya”.
