A Pakistani artist is well on his way to complete what he calls a first-of-its-kind project to cast the Holy Quran with gold and aluminium-plated words, part which will be displayed at Expo 2020 Dubai.
“Expo 2020 Dubai is one the biggest events to take place in the region. I consider it to be the perfect platform to showcase my creative work to millions of visitors over a period of six months,” says internationally renowned artist Shahid Rassam.
Addressing a Press conference at Pakistan Association Dubai, Rassam said he will present Surah Rahman as part of the world's largest Holy Quran to be showcased at Expo 2020 Dubai.
Award-winning artist Shahid Rassam, who is developing the first-of-its-kind project to cast the Holy Quran with aluminium and gold-plated words, said he will display 'Surah Rahman -- the heart of Holy Quran' as part of his creative concept that is in line with the Expo them of 'Connecting Minds, Creating the Future'.
"I will be using about 200kg gold and 2,000kg aluminium to cast around 80,000 words on 550 pages. Each page will have 150 words," Rassam said.
The creative artist said he is committed to complete the project by 2025 after showcasing part of it at the Expo 2020 Dubai.
The creative artist said the size of the Holy Quran is 6.5 feet by 8.5 feet excluding frame.
