The world's largest Quran, with a weight of 9,000 kg, has been displayed in eastern Pakistan's Punjab province for public view, local media reported on Wednesday.
The 202-page holy book, made of stainless steel, is eight feet long and four feet wide, and the weight of each page is about 70 kg, the newspaper Daily Times said.
It took the maker Javaid Iqbal, an engineer from Gujranwala, Punjab, two and a half years to prepare the book in collaboration with local philanthropists at a total cost of 8.5 million rupees ( about 142,000 U.S. dollars), the report said.
The book is displayed in Sialkot city by the district government, and will be used as a gift to Saudi Arabia, it said.

Worlds Largest Hand Written Quran Guinness Record

"It's the biggest Quran in terms of size and font, which was compiled in one volume," Chishti said, adding, "It has 63 pages and the size of each page is 60x88 inch." "Each page has a colourful border around the text, featuring flowers of different sizes and seasons," he said, adding, "At the beginning of each surah (verse), the word ‘Bismillah' (in the name of God) is written in a different calligraphic styles, which go back to the Prophet Mohammed's time," he said. Chishti, a Sufi research scholar and a khadim at the dargah, said the Quran represents the true essence of Quranic calligraphy. "I feel honoured after accomplishing the gigantic feat," he said, add-ing that every page has an average of 40 lines. Chishti said he began his professional life as an Urdu teacher in a government school, but gave it up in 2003 for the devotional endeavours. "Thereafter, I dedicated my life to this Quran," Chishti, who is also a Urdu poet and writer, said. Read full story at World Records 2009 2008 | Limca Book Records | World Amazing Video
