IQNA – A collection of rare Qurans and manuscripts is now on display at the “Fighting to Be Heard” exhibition at Cartwright Hall Art Gallery in Bradford, running until April 27.

The exhibition features artifacts from the British Library’s collection, many of which are being showcased in northern England for the first time. 

Among the highlights is a Quran from the 9th century, making it over a thousand years old, and a 19th-century Quran translated into Chinese, The Telegraph & Argus reported on Tuesday.

Also on display is an Urdu manuscript from 1590, offering a glimpse into the region's literary heritage.

The exhibition has been co-curated by World Champion boxer Tasif Khan, members of his boxing academy, and calligrapher Razwan Ul-Haq.

While speaking about the exhibition, Ul-Haq emphasized the unique experience awaiting visitors: "What it will bring is a sense of wonder, delight, amazement, and reverence."
