Al-Hajj Babu Javed, the city Nazim, had the honour to
conduct the opening ceremony of the World's largest Holy Quran on display
at the 4th Industrial Exhibition. Once again, the credit for putting this
idea into practice goes to the Engineer, Haji Javed Iqbal and his talented
workers. It will, by the grace of God Almighty, be displayed in Masjad-e-Nabvi
as a rare specimen of the Muslim world. The Muslims all across the globe
consider it as a rich source of inspiration and guidance and uphold the
sanctity of the holy book. Some of the details of this World's largest
Holy Quran are as under:-
- It has a modern automatic digital system and is operated with the
help of a remote control.
- With the touch of a button one can enjoy the facility of turning
over the desired pages.
- If one wishes to hear the verses aloud, one can do so easily. Even
the sound can be heard at a distance of about 1000 feet.
- The Holy Quran consists of 202 pages. The size of each page operated
by volume is 48 x 96 inches and the width is 12 mm.
- It is made of 2 metals i.e. stainless steel and MS steel.
- The weight of each page is 70kg with a total weight of 9000 kg.
- It cost about 8500000 lakh.
- The work is still going on, on the project and it has already taken
2 and a half year.
The Holy Quran is, undoubtedly, the most sacred and widely
read book of the Muslims. It is the last book of God and provides a complete
code of life to all men on this earth. The above monumental project is
undertaken at the World Universal Engineering Works.
Anyone who is willing to contribute financially to the
same may contact Haji Javed at the earliest. He may deposit his valuable
contributions in a UBL Branch on the Sialkot road. The account number
of Haji Javed is 19869. May God grant courage to Haji Javed to accomplish
the said target as early as possible.
