- When you leave the premises, you are also given a copy of the Holy book. Except for the elderly, who are given larger copies, everyone receives a little copy of the Quran.
- The Quran is not any typical book, and because Islam holds it in high regard, its printing differs significantly from that of other readers. Be sure to observe how the press's professionals cross-check the prints word by word to ensure there are no typos and that not a single word has been misprinted.
- Check out the several Quran copies that are available in the complex, ranging in size from miniature to quite large.
- If you are interested in printing the Quran and the processes that take place behind the scenes, this is an excellent instructive excursion for you.
