The Page from Qur'an (1985.365) will be on display as of summer 2024 in the Asian Gallery (106).
This page is from the Qur'an, the central religious text of Islam. Muslims believe it to be the literal word of God (Allah), as revealed to the Prophet Muhammad between 609 and 632 CE. The Quran's significance extends beyond religious teachings. It has played a pivotal role in developing the Arabic language and script, serving as a model of literary excellence.
