13th century Qoran gets record price
By: Nabil Raza
LONDON, United Kingdom: A 13th century Qoran was sold for a world
record price of 1,140,500 pounds (2,320,917 dollars, 1,632,055 euros).
The Qoran had been expected to fetch between 250,000 and 300,000
pounds and was sold as part of an auction of art from the Islamic and
Indian World that brought in a total of 5.9 million pounds.
Dated to 1203 and written entirely in gold, with marginal notes in
silver, it is the earliest known complete, dated Qoran, written in
gold in the world, and broke the record for a Qoran, and the record
for any Islamic manuscript, sold at auction.

"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
