Azerbaijani Muslim Woman Wrote Entire Holy Qur’an on Transparent Silk

Muslims have some special sort of fascination towards Holy Qur’an. This attraction cum affection has lots of reason behind it, the most important reason being the strong belief that the Holy Qur’an is a book from Allah on the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ.

As love and affections are always beyond limit and cannot sustain without expression, we see numbers of Muslims doing something extraordinary to express it.

One of the extraordinary expressions of love towards Holy Qur’an is shown by an Azerbaijani Muslim woman who wrote entire Qur’an on transparent silk pages. MaShaAllah, it is so beautiful and eye catching to look upon it.

Tünzale Memmedzade, a 33 year old Azerbaijani painter and artist used 50 metres of transparent black silk alongwith 1500 millilitres of gold and silk inks in the project. She took three years to complete the entire Holy Qur’an.

She transcribed the Holy Qur’an based on the official version released from the Diyanet, the Turkish Presidency of Religious Affairs on the silk sheet each measuring 29 x 33 centimeters. She also used a little more than three pints of liquid gold and silver as well as 164 feet of 11.4 x 13 sheets of fine silk.  The project took 50 metres of Black silk and 1.5 metres of Gold ink and tons of dedication of hundreds of hours.

Tünzale Memmedzade an Art and History student at the Marmara University at Turkey thanked Allah as she completed her masterpiece after three years of hard work. She became the first person to complete such project and it made her much more happier.

In an interview, given to local media, she said,

“Qur’an had been transcribed into various materials but never onto silk before. It provided me motivation to transcribe the Holy book on transparent silk.”

MaShaAllah. It is the first time that someone has wrote it on transparent silk but Qur’an has been written on various materials such as wood, cloth, leaves etc before.
