Making of world's largest copy of the Holy Quran continues in Pakistan

A group of artists continue to engage in placing Quranic script crafted out of aluminum and plated in gold on a huge canvas in a sprawling but cozy wing of the Karachi Arts Council in Pakistan. Shahid Rassam, a renowned Pakistani artist, and his over 200 associates have been working since 2017 to prepare what he says is the world’s largest copy of the Holy Quran, Islam’s holy book. The rare project is scheduled to be completed in 2026. The rare artwork, measuring 8.5 feet long and 6.5 feet wide, is poised to break the record currently held by a copy of Quran sized at 6.5 and 4.5 feet which was prepared in Afghanistan in 2017 and is now kept at the Kul Sharif Mosque in the Russian city of Kazan.
