\nA rare Qur\u2019an manuscript dating back to the 12th century AH, corresponding to the 18th century, is on display at the Qur\u2019an Museum in the Hira Cultural District in Makkah.<\/p>\n

Estimated to be around 300 years old, the manuscript brings together three of the most renowned Arabic calligraphy styles, Thuluth, Rayhani and Naskh, alongside intricate botanical decorations and delicate gilding.<\/p>\n

Three Calligraphy Styles in One Manuscript<\/h3>\n

The Qur\u2019anic verses are written in black ink, with the three calligraphic traditions incorporated into the manuscript, highlighting the skill of the scribe and the artistic sophistication of historical Qur\u2019an production.<\/p>\n

The verses were carefully marked with diacritical signs, while sections of the manuscript, particularly its opening pages, feature botanical motifs and detailed gilding that reflect the artistic traditions associated with Qur\u2019anic manuscripts of the period.<\/p>\n

Gilded Verse Markers<\/h3>\n

Among the manuscript’s distinctive features are gilded circular markers placed between verses, serving both a practical function in separating the text and an aesthetic purpose in enhancing the visual composition of the pages.<\/p>\n

The manuscript demonstrates how historical Qur\u2019an production extended beyond precise writing and vocalization to encompass a sophisticated combination of calligraphy, ornamentation and gilding.<\/p>\n

Selected Surahs<\/h3>\n

The manuscript does not contain the complete Qur\u2019an. Instead, it includes a selection of surahs beginning with Al-Fatihah, followed by chapters including Al-An’am, Al-Kahf, Saba, Fatir, Ya-Sin, Al-Fath, Al-Waqi’ah, Al-Mulk and An-Naba, concluding with Al-Ikhlas.<\/p>\n

Preserved among the collections of the King Abdulaziz Public Library, the manuscript provides a valuable historical example of the development of Qur\u2019anic calligraphy, manuscript decoration and gilding during the 12th century AH.<\/p>\n

Its exhibition in Makkah gives visitors an opportunity to explore a remarkable chapter in the history of Qur\u2019anic preservation and the evolution of Arabic calligraphy within Islamic art.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
