Zamrud Khan has recently created the world’s first hand-stitched Quran. She dedicated almost.
Dedicating almost seven and a half years creating the masterpiece, the Pashtun woman from Pakistan worked tirelessly to create the piece of art that shows her love and dedication for both Islam and the Quran, according to the Pakistani daily The Nation.
The pages of stitched Quran are made of cotton and are beautifully bordered with green silk along with gold colored embroidery.
Khan’s epic creation weighs approximately 60 kilograms.
Regarding the idea, Khan says that it just popped up in her head. However, she did not anticipate the project would take as long as it did.
"I started stitching the Quran with full determination without fearing about how long it will take to complete,” she said. "I am thankful to the Almighty for giving me enough courage to complete the noble task. I am so happy with it. I have never been happier in my entire life,” remarked Khan.
