At least one crore Qurans in as many as 39 languages are printed every year in Madina
LAHORE (Web Desk) – Muslims all over the world recite the Holy Quran and exercise their religious practices with added fervor in the month of Ramazan.

However, the printing of the Holy Quran is not a simple process. It involves different time-taking steps. The entire process takes years actually.

First of all, the scribe develops a copy of the Quran with a specific style. This takes at least two years.

The scripture is then scanned and digitalized for further steps. After digitalization, proof reading of the writing is done. The proof reading can be done for at least six to seven times. This process takes about a year.

After this, printing process is initiated. A film is prepared which is used along with the printing plates.

At least 100 scriptures are printed in the initial phase. These pieces are then read once again to check for misprinting.

Later on in the final step after the initial batch s manual proof reading, the desired number of scriptures are printed.

Two questions about this image

Why writing by hand?Arent Arabic fonts available. And in any case the "soft copy" version should easily be available and you should be able to just print it?

Isnt Arabic written from right to left? Why is this picture depicting as if it is being written from left to write (The text on the man's left hand side is already written)

Either he is checking or he is adding the punctuation (zayr , zaber, paysh)

No idea maybe they want to make it as authentic as possible...though I never thought it was hand written all the alphabets seem same sized :unsure:
