206-year-old Quran manuscript in good condition
By: Sultan Ahmed
DOHA: A 206-year-old manuscript of the holy Quran written
by a noted Qatari scholar and calligrapher late Sheikh Ahmed
bin Rashid bin Juma bin Khamis bin Hilal Al Miraikhi was
handed over by the Emiri Diwan to a member of the tribe Hamad
bin Saqr Al Miraikhi.
The gesture came in the wake of the opening of a new mosque in
Medinat Khalifa, named after the Qatari scholar.
The manuscript, written in 1221Hijri year, had been in the
custody of an ordinary Qatari, who presented it to the
Ministry of Awqaf and Islamic Affairs three years ago. The
ministry then handed over to the Emiri Diwan.
The manuscript was later sent to Juma Al Majid Center in
Dubai, specializing in the study and preservation of old
manuscripts. The Centre restored the manuscript and returned
it to the Emiri Diwan.
The manuscript was in a good condition and was highly
valuable.

"Knowledge is
better than wealth because it protects you while you have to
guard wealth. it decreases if you keep on spending it but the
more you make use of knowledge ,the more it increases . what you
get through wealth disappears as soon as wealth disappears but
what you achieve through knowledge will remain even after you."MORE
