The beauty of Arabic calligraphy in Quranic manuscripts has a special charm; the flow of letters, the harmony of words, and the precision of diacritics, all details reveal the calligrapher's mastery and care in writing the verses of God.
This manuscript includes the beginnings of Surat Al-Mujadila and Surat Al-Hashr, spread over two pages with four sides. It remains a manuscript that combines the sanctity of the text and the beauty of calligraphy. Its pieces are worthy of contemplation and study and can be framed as a piece to adorn a majlis with a historical touch, or for lovers of antiquities and Islamic history, or even as an unusual gift for those interested in history and Sharia.

Description of the piece from the seller:
A page from an East African Quranic manuscript, written on Italian paper from Venice, bearing a watermark of three crescents.
Date: Around 1750 AD.
Dimensions: 22x32 cm
It has not been examined by an expert for manual inspection, so I do not know the accuracy of his words, but the manuscript, judging by the watermarks, the style of calligraphy, and the signs of age, strongly suggests the antiquity of the manuscript.
Price: 950. May God grant success.
