In a significant cultural preservation effort, the Intellectual and Cultural Affairs Department at the Al-Abbas Holy Shrine has launched a restoration project for rare pages of the Holy Quran, dating back to the 4th century AH and written in the historic Kufic script.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Laith Lutfi, Director of the Al-Fadl Center for the Conservation and Preservation of Manuscript Heritage and Documentary Archives, said the center is dedicated to safeguarding invaluable manuscripts stored in the shrine\u2019s library. Among them are 21 pages of the Quran, featuring verses from Surahs Al-Hijr and An-Nahl, distinguished by intricate Islamic ornamentation and classical calligraphy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
