An Egyptian artist who educated himself after dropping out of school has spent three years creating what he hopes is the world's biggest Holy Quran.
Saad Mohammed, who has hand-painted Islamic motifs on the walls and ceilings of his home in the town of Belqina, north of Cairo, has reproduced the Holy Quran on a paper scroll 700 metres long. He displays the decorated manuscript in a large wooden box with rollers at each end.
"This Quran is 700 metres long, and of course that's a large amount of paper," he said. "I self-funded this project for the past three years - and I'm an average person. I don't have assets or anything."
Mohammed wants to submit his Quran for inclusion in Guinness World Records. Guinness says that while there is a record for the world's biggest printed Quran, there is so far no record holder for the largest handwritten version.
