Makkah Museum displays the Quran mosaic

Shafaqna English- The Holy Qur’an Museum, located in the Hira Cultural District of Makkah, features a mosaic panel that showcases Surah Al-Fatiha and the beginning of Surah Al-Baqarah. This panel spans 76.67 square meters and is composed of over a million porcelain mosaic pieces.

This artwork is based on an original Qur’an manuscript written by calligrapher Mustafa Dhul-Fiqar in 1656, preserved at the King Abdulaziz Complex for Endowment Libraries in Madinah.

As the first museum in Makkah dedicated solely to the Holy Qur’an and located near the historic Mount Hira, it serves as a cultural and civilizational beacon for the holy city, the Saudi Press Agency reported.
