Kashmiri man sets new record by writing Quran by hand on a single piece of paper

Kashmiri calligrapher Mustafa bin Jameel set a new record when he wrote an Islamic holy book on a 500-meter scroll - a project that took seven months.

The 27-year-old writer revealed that it took months to create the historical script using a special pen and 85 GSM sheets.  The paper he used was 14.5 inches wide and 500 meters long.

His unique accomplishments earned him a place in the world book of records and it even got into the Lincoln Book of Records.

Speaking to a foreign newspaper, a Kashmiri man from Jareez Valley in Bandipura district said that he started calligraphy to improve his handwriting and later after a while became the holiest book in Islam.

Lincoln Records mentions Mustafa on its official website for having done this rare feat.

Mustafa said that the first project he started was completed in less than a year without guidance from a professional coach.
