The Holy Quran Exhibition in Madinah is home to some of the most unique handwritten copies of the Quran. One of its newest additions is a hand embroidered Quran that took 32 years to make.

The person behind the hand embroidered Quran is a Pakistani housewife, Naseem Akhtar, who hails from a small town in the Punjab Province.

She started writing the Quran back in 1987 and completed it earlier this year. Naseem recently visited Madinah and handed it over to the Holy Quran Exhibition.

Speaking to a regional news channel she said that sometimes it would take her an entire day to sew one or two lines as she was extremely cautious of the task she had on her hands.

The Quran has been placed in a display in the exhibition and is open for visitors.

P.S. entry to the Holy Quran Exhibition is free of charge.
