Hisham Barzeq is a 68-year-old Palestinian man who has a small room in one of the mosques in Gaza where he repairs damaged copies of the Holy Quran for free.

 

Speaking to Shehabnews, he said that he started the job nearly a month ago after he sent few copies for repairs and faced significant costs.

Noting that there were many Quran copies that needed restoration, he said, “that's why I looked for a way to fix them myself and I started doing this to earn God's reward.”

Barzeq said he spends about three hours every day doing this work inside the mosque.

“I have a small room inside the mosque for fixing the Quran. It is in good shape and it has electricity and shelves that make it easy for me,” he said.

According to Barzaq, repairing the damaged copies of the Holy Quran only needs cheap tools like glue and cardboard, the costs of which is being provided by one of the benevolent members of the mosque community.
