While I was walking through the Islamic art galleries, one art piece that grabbed my attention is the manuscript of Quran. I like the Arabic writing of the manuscript. The Arabic letters looks very beautiful. These Arabic letters made the manuscript look gorgeous. At the first glance, it does not look like a manuscript to me. The letters does not look like ordinary letters. They look very gorgeous and different from any other alphabets. These letters are different from the letters of other languages because they look gorgeous. The letters of other languages look ordinary. When we look at them, we can understand that these are letters. However, when I looked at the manuscript for the first time, I thought it is an artistic design. I got surprise to know that these are letters and this is a manuscript.

Quran is an important and respectable manuscript to Muslims. They believe that whatever is written in Quran that is true and accurate, and everybody should follow the instructions of Quran. In the story “The Story of the Merchant and the Demon”, when the merchant came back to his home, to his family for saying final goodbyes to them then he did some important things including reading the Quran. Reciting Quran is a part of their (Muslims) prayer. Many significant prayers are written in Quran. At that moment, the merchant read the Quran because he was going to the demon who wanted to kill him so he wanted the mercy and blessing of God.
