AhlulBayt News Agency: A rare copy of the Holy Quran has been donated to the Naqadeh Museum, as announced by Hamzeh Pahlevani, Head of the Cultural Heritage, Tourism, and Handicrafts office in Naqadeh, in West Azarbaijan province.

The Quran, identified by experts as being from the contemporary period, was donated by Behnaz Qarah-Naqadeh.

Pahlevani emphasized that the donation aims to ensure better preservation and protection of this historical artifact, while also maintaining the heritage and history of the city.

He noted that artifacts donated by individuals are displayed with the donor’s name.

The recent donation comes more than a month after a 180-year-old Quran manuscript was donated to the Central Library of the University of Tehran.

“Throughout the history of this land, no other book has manuscripts quite like the Quran. This is a precious treasure that we must strive to preserve,” said Zohair Tayyeb, head of a scientific association that focuses on editing and researching manuscripts in Iran back on July 24.

“When we look at these Quranic manuscripts, we not only see the exquisite calligraphy but also the intricate gilding, inlays, and floral designs,” he added.
