Largest Copy of Quran Being Written on Wood in Egypt
Two Arab artists have started making the largest copy of the Holy Quran in Egypt.
Egyptian Arif Ramadan Hamed Ibrahim and Syrian Riyadh Nuwaf Al-Radhi are writing verses of the Holy Quran on wood.
They have created a page on Facebook in which they describe the stages of the work and their goals.
Al-Radhi began the work in Syria but could not complete it. He then came to Egypt and resumed the writing of the Quran on wood with the help of Hamed Ibrahim.
An Afghan calligrapher has worked for five years to create
Currently, the world’s biggest Quran is in Afghanistan. An Afghan calligrapher worked for five years to create the copy.
The copy has pages 2.28 meters by 1.55 meters in size, and has been certified as the world's largest by the Afghan ministry of Hajj and Religious Affairs.
The previous claim to the title was for a 2 meter by 1.5 meter copy unveiled in 2011 in Russia's Tatarstan region.
The Afghan Quran weighs 500 kg and its 218 pages of cloth and paper, bound inside an embossed leather cover made from the skins of 21 goats, cost half a million dollars to create.
