“Thirty years of war in Afghanistan seems to have done little damage to the country’s rich cultural heritage and traditions, as an Afghan calligrapher has managed to prove. Mohammad Sabir Khedri’s five years of hard work finally paid off when he unveiled the world’s largest Qur’an in Kabul. The lavish book has 218 pages of cloth and paper and weighs five hundred kilograms. It cost the master calligrapher half a million dollars to create his masterpiece. Nine of his students helped Khedri combine the gold script with millions of tiny colorful dots and create the decorations around the giant pages.” — GN
