Four leaves (with writing on both sides) of a rare 18th century Multicolored Gold Koran / Quran illuminated handwritten manuscript, with Arabic writing on both sides, showing exquisite calligraphy. One leaf has a gold word in the margin (see the 1st scanned image) and also a black word in the bottom margin. Very beautiful wide gold border with fine blue and red lines around the border. T are large gold circles as a mark for each verse or ayat, with blue and red dots in the design. T are red marks for diacritical and pronunciation. Also, t is an Arabic word in black ink in the bottom margin; and lastly, genuine Arabic numbers in pencil in the top margin (added much later). The paper is very thin, and the durability of this paper is obtained by covering the page surfaces with egg white or starch. T are stains and discolored, due to its use and age. This handwritten text of the Quran on paper exhibits superior calligraphy. Overall size: 3 3/4 in. x 5 1/2 in. Text area: about 2 in. x 3 1/2 in. Contains Sura or Chapter 5:96-108; 6:95-109, 139-148; and 12:23-37, in 4 leaves (containing 8 sides or pages). Notice especially the gold ink in the margin of the 1st leaf (see the 1st scanned image). T are numerous important references in these four (4) leaves: "the Quran" (Sura 5:100); "Satan" (Sura 6:142); and "the Jews" (Sura 6:148). Amazing calligraphy and color. These are original manuscript leaves, not modern reproductions. Their authenticity is 100% guaranteed. Sura : [5.71 ] And they thought that t would be no affliction, sothey became blind and deaf; then Allah turned to them mercifully, but many of them became blind and deaf; and Allah is well seeing what they do.[ 5.72 ] Certainly they disbelieve who say: Surely Allah, He is the Messiah, son of Marium [Mary]; and the Messiah said: O Children of Israel! serve Allah, my Lord and your Lord. Surely whoever associates (others) with Allah, then Allah has forbidden to him the garden, and his abode is the fire; and t shall be no helpers for the unjust.[ 5.73 ] Certainly they disbelieve who say: Surely Allah is the third (person) of the three; and t is no god but the one God, and if they desist not from what they say, a painful chastisement shall befall those among them who disbelieve.[ 5.74 ] Will they not then turn to Allah and ask His forgiveness? And Allah is Forgiving, Merciful.[ 5.75 ] The Messiah, son of Marium [Mary] is but an apostle; apostles before him have indeed passed away; and his mother was a truthful woman; they both used to eat food. See how We make the communications clear to them, then behold, how they are turned away.[ 5.76 ] Say: Do you serve besides Allah that which does not control for you any harm, or any profit? And Allah-- He is the Hearing, the Knowing.[ 5.77 ] Say: O followers of the Book! be not unduly immoderate in your religion, and do not follow the low desires of people who went astray before and led many astray and went astray from the right path.[ 5.78 ] Those who disbelieved from among the children of Israel were cursed by the tongue of Dawood and Isa [Jesus], son of Marium [Mary]; this was because they disobeyed and used to exceed the limit.[ 5.79 ] They used not to forbid each other the hateful things (which) they did; certainly evil was that which they did.[ 5.80 ] You will see many of them befriending those who disbelieve; certainly evil is that which their souls have sent before for them, that Allah became displeased with them and in chastisement shall they abide.[ 5.81 ] And had they believed in Allah and the prophet and what was revealed to him, they would not have taken them for friends but! most of them are transgressors.[ 5.82 ] Certainly you will find the most violent of people in enmity for those who believe (to be) the Jews and those who are polytheists, and you will certainly find the nearest in friendship to those who believe (to be) those who say: We are Christians; this is because t are priests and monks among... read more
