KARACHI, Sept 17: A four-day exhibition featuring rear manuscripts of Holy Quran was inaugurated at Khaliqdina Hall here on Friday. The exhibition features, what its organizers claim, the world's smallest Quran which was printed in Germany. A 1,200 years old Quranic script is also on display.

A photocopy of the Quran claimed to have been calligraphed by Hazrat Ali (A.S) is also on display. Mir Naseer Khan Talpur of Khairpur is the custodian of its original copy, organizers said.

Also on display at the exhibition are a number of copies, translated into Indonesian, Russian, Hindi, Turkish-Azeri, Spanish, Bengali, Thai, Malyalam, Somali, Albani, German, Eriterian, Persian, Greek, Turkish, Uzbek and English languages. Among regional languages, the copies of Quran were available in Brahvi, Balti, Sindhi, Punjabi, Gujrati and Urdu.
