A Pakistani woman has created a hand stitched version of the Holy Quran. Zamurd Khan, a Pashtun woman hailing from Karachi’s Korangi area, has dedicated years of her life to complete it.
With this achievement, the Pashtun lady wants to show her love for Islam and the Holy Book. In fact, it is the first time in the 1,400 year history of Islam that someone has crafted a hand stitched version of the Holy Quran.
The Hand Stitched Quran
Zamurd split the Holy Quran into 30 chapters (Sipara) and worked on each one of them separately.
The pages of the hand stitched Quran are made of cotton, decorated with a green border made of silk with gold colored embroidery. Similar decoration has been applied to each chapter’s outer pages.
The text on the book has been stitched with the help of a green colored thread.
