Over 300 Million Quran Copies Printed in Medina in 4 Decades

IQNA – More than 300 million copies of the Quran have been produced by the King Fahd Complex for the Printing of the Holy Quran since its foundation.

The center has five manuscripts of the Quran calligraphed by its own calligraphers and approved by its scientific committee. 

Two of the manuscripts are in the Hafs narration and the other three in the Warsh, al-Dawri and Qalun narrations.

A team of Muslim scholars and experts carefully proofread each version after the calligraphy is completed before the Qurans are printed.

There is also a special system in place for monitoring all stages of printing the Qurans.  

Many of the copies printed by the complex include translations of the Holy Quran in various languages.

To date, it has printed translations of the Quran in 72 languages, including 39 spoken in Asia, 16 spoken in Europe, and 19 African languages.

In addition to Qurans, the center publishes books on Quranic sciences and translations of various Quranic and Islamic books.

Launched in the holy city of Medina on October 30, 1984, by the then ruler of Saudi Arabia King Fahd bin Abdul Aziz, it has become the world’s largest Quran printing center today.
