Description

King Fahd Glorious Quran Printing Complex is a printing press in Medina. This complex exclusively prints more than 10 million copies of the Holy Quran every year. These prints are not just in the Arabic language but also include translations in languages such as English, Indonesian, Russian, Japanese, Persian, Urdu, Bengali, Korean and many more. The size of the Quran copies available in the complex range from pocket-size to much bigger ones.

Printing Mechanism

The complex prints the most authentic Quran copies that are distributed all over the world. The Quran is no ordinary book, and its printing is also very much different from that of any other book as it is highly sacred in Islam. The staff working at the press consists of experts that check the prints word by word to make sure there are no typing errors, ensuring there is not even a single word misprinted.

Visiting the Complex

The Holy Book cannot be touched without wudhu (ablution) which is why visitors can only view the printing process from above. The complex has different types of Qurans displayed in glass cases. While leaving the complex, a copy of the Holy book is also gifted to visitors. Everyone receives a small Quran apart from older people who are given bigger copies.

Certain areas of the facility have restrictions that do not allow women to visit. Admission of visitors is restricted so it is better to get permission and make arrangements beforehand. People interested in visiting the complex should plan an early trip as long queues begin to form with time. It is a good educational trip for those who are interested in the printing of the Quran and the mechanics that happen behind the scenes.

I spend 1 hour waiting and came from far to get copy of my choice but they gave me that i barely read, on requesting many times they said no to give me any copy that I was asking and said its finished although it was present in distribution room i saw. I am very much disappointed as i came after reading so much and heard as they provide Quran in language of your choice , still not got what I wanted.

This is the press at Madina where Quran copies were printed. It's a great place to have a look at how the Quran copies were printed. They print a majority of the Madina script Quran along with Indo Pak script and many translations. They give a good tour of the facility and also provide everyone with a Quran copy while exiting it. Also, they sell Quran copies of different sizes and translations.

The Quran printing press seems to be operational since 1985, It has published 55 different translations of the Qur'an in 39 languages. Its website offers the Arabic Qur'an, recitations, textual search, translations, images of early Qur'an manuscripts. Good news is all visitors are give free edition of Quran(Green). Indias & pakistanis can request Blue color which is easy for reading… The Complex made over 128 million books of the Qur'an which is widely used by all sects of Islam.
