مجمع الملك فهد لطباعة المصحف الشريف | King Fahd Glorious Quran Printing Complex
طريق تبوك الفرعي،، An Nakhil, Madinah 42334
Vast Quran printing plant where one calligrapher's handwritten script became millions of copies.
This guide to the King Fahd Glorious Quran Printing Complex in Medina opens with a calligrapher who wrote the same book twelve times by hand and never let a machine near it. It follows Uthman Taha, who arrived from Aleppo in nineteen eighty-eight already trained by a master of Arabic script, and the years each handwritten manuscript takes him to complete and then proofread letter by letter. Behind these gates sits one of the largest publishing operations on earth, where his finished pages are photographed and locked into the presses running beyond the walls.
