The Well Travelled Quran – Luqman Nagy

The Well Travelled Quran” by Luqman Nagy is a captivating narrative that chronicles the nine-hundred-year odyssey of a magnificent handwritten Quran manuscript, crafted in Cordoba during the 11th century’s golden era of Al-Andalus. This beautifully illustrated book weaves history, faith, and resilience, tracing the sacred text’s perilous journey through exile, persecution, and preservation across continents. It highlights the poignant plight of the Moriscos—the last Muslims of Spain—whose forced conversions and expulsions became inextricably linked to the Quran’s survival story. Nagy masterfully blends scholarly detail with evocative storytelling, celebrating the Quran’s enduring power as Kalam Allah, the eternal word of God, amidst waves of adversity. An inspiring testament to divine preservation, this volume enchants readers with its fusion of art, adventure, and spiritual depth, making it essential for those fascinated by Islamic heritage.
