On the side line of a visit paid by a group of Pakistani pilgrims to the Astan Quds Razavi’s treasury of Qur’an and exquisites, Seyyed Abed Naqvi said, “There are some very exquisite Qur’ans in this museum and it was very exciting and pleasant for me to visit them”.
He reiterated, “This museum’s Qur’ans have been adorned by Islamic arts. Using different arts in this book represents Muslims’ deep interest and devotion toward this celestial book”.
This Pakistani pilgrim added, “Although each Qur’an’s handwriting is different from that of other ones, there is a common spirit in all these valuable works which shows that all artists and calligraphers have been inspired by a divine source”.
“An artist is not able to be a calligrapher of Quran unless he enjoys a divine support. Also, all artists and calligraphers who are active in the area of writing and gilding of Qur’an are inspired by a divine spirit”, he stressed.
He went on to say, “Existence of some Qur’anic manuscripts created by the Pakistani artists in this museum was very joyful; a handwritten Qur’an attributed to Ja’far Khan Hosseini, a salient Pakistani calligrapher, is an example of these exquisite pieces”.
It is worth mentioning that a large number of Pakistani pilgrims attended celebration of victory of Islamic Revolution and nation-wide rally of 22nd of Bahman and showed their devotion to the Islamic Revolution and Iran’s Supreme Leader. At the end, management of non-Iranian pilgrims of Astan Quds Razavi provided them with some cultural programs and gifts.
