Kadaba, August 18, 2025: Fathima Sajla Ismail, a BCom student from Markazul Huda Women’s College in Kumbra, Kadaba taluk, has garnered widespread admiration for her extraordinary accomplishment of handwriting the entire Quran using a traditional ink pen. Hailing from Baitadka in Kaniyur village, Sajla, daughter of Ismail and Zahra Jasmine, dedicated nearly five years to this meticulous task, starting in January 2021 and completing it in August 2025.

The 604-page manuscript, written on white, light blue, and light green paper with black ink, is bound in an elegant red and gold cover and weighs approximately 14 kg. Sajla shared that each page took around four hours to complete, with some days allowing her to write two pages in eight hours. In total, she spent 2,416 hours over 302 days to finish the work, demonstrating remarkable patience and discipline.

The handwritten Quran was unveiled at a special ceremony at Markazul Huda Women’s College, Kumbra, on August 18, 2025. The manuscript was officially released by Yaseen Sakhafi Al Azhari, a Mudarris from Markaz Knowledge City, Kerala, in the presence of scholars and college officials. The family is considering applying for recognition in the Limca Book of Records and is in discussions with elders and scholars regarding the manuscript’s future preservation.

Sajla’s achievement is a testament to her dedication and serves as an inspiration, highlighting the value of perseverance and devotion in pursuing meaningful endeavors.
