Due to its geographical position Ukraine is being a bridge between different cultures and civilizations on East and West. Therefore lots of rarities hide in a country's territory.
This unique antique mini Qur'an belongs to the aged Ukrainian Tatar. A Ukrainian collector who is presenting us this 2x3 cm tiny book nested into the silver case is proud of this specimen.
According to the collector the 200-year book’s history goes deep into distant ages. Specialists however said this tiny book was printed. Therefore the finding was dated to the 1940’s. However the collector believes this scripture is of great art value.
Generically the depths of the Ukrainian libraries are stored with different Qur'ans. There are specimens dated back to 19 century or books that show delicate workmanship.
After all the demand for this unique edition is snowballing. The owner is ready to sell his tiny treasure as family’s tough economic conditions force him to do so. His single indispensable condition for the new owner is that he/she should be a true Muslim.
According to the rare specimen’s owner there are only three mini Qur'ans in the world making them very special and unique. However he hopes the true Muslims will esteem this holy book firstly for its full-text and spiritual values.
