Visitors to the 31st International Holy Quran Fair will find a booth showcasing a unique artwork titled “Quran al-Sadiq”.
This distinctive
Quranic piece is the world’s first and only Quran written on leaves.
The artwork, penned
in Nastaliq script, is inscribed on 1800 plane tree leaves. It comprises 58
panels, each measuring 120 x 75 cm, with inscriptions on both sides. The
creation of this unique Quranic work spanned four years, culminating in 2019.
The act of
inscribing Quranic verses on tree leaves speaks volumes about the delicate
spirit of an Iranian artist. Through this work, the artist aims to introduce
the world to the authentic Iranian Islamic culture and art.
