Story of World's smallesr Quran

Muhammed Ameen did not know what he was possessing was an invaluable gift, until a news about the smallestHoly Quran appeared in a Kerala newspaper four years ago. Immediately afterreading the news, he took a scale and measured the miniature Quran whichwas given to him by his father. He found that his Quran was smaller thanthe one quoted by the newspaper.
       Muhammed Ameen, a 22 year old Keralite from Puratheel, Kannur who arrivedin the UAE an year and a half ago, is working as a Secretary at East WestManagementConsultants, Dubai.

       Ameen's Quran is as small as a fingertip. It is 1.9cm high, 1cm wide and1 cm thick.He said that this Quran was gifted to his father, Mohammed Moulavi,25 years ago, by an Arab National. Moulavi,a scholar of Islam as well as Arabic and English languages, is also workingin the UAE with Dubai Library. Ameen said his father gave it to him whenhe was just 10 year-old. Moulavi said that since it was 25 years ago, hecannot remember the name of the Arab who gave him the Quran..       "I was not capable of understanding the importance of the gift at thatage though I was thrilled by the sizeof it. Four years ago, Mathrubhumi,(Read) a Kerala daily, published a news item on the smallestQuran. It is only then I remembered that I also have something similar,"said Ameen.
      "Suddenly I realised the importance of my gift. When I measured my Quranit was smaller. Then I gave the news to Mathrubhumi. A few days ago, Icame to know that The Gulf Today has publisheda photo of the Quran displayed at Kafr Al Zayt, North Cairo which is 2.5cmhigh, 1cm wide and 1cm thick. My Quran happened to be smaller than that,"said Ameen.
       Ameen, who also has a collection of 4000 stamps of 150 countries, was astudent of Nusrathul Islam Arabic College, Muzhappala, Kannur, before comingto the UAE. His father, an avid reader of Islam, is fond of collectingreligious books in Arabic.
