Love the lighting.

Nicely done. The scrip (as best as I can tell) seems very beautiful. Is the book opened to a particular passage? THe Holy Book seems special, is this your Holy Book, family Holy Book? Where is this book? Why is the lighting, although very dramatic, equally unusual? A picture may be worth a thousand words Awais, but your photographs create a million questions.

Nice composition

but I though it would be better if the legs of the stand wasn't cut off

Very nicely photographed Awais, I looked this morning but the image was only appearing as a red X so tonight I came back to see if I could see your image, cause I know you take beautiful photos

Thank you for sharing....... Skippy (Australia)

Hi seefutlung

About script these are hand written mostly. This is very special book of Muslims revealed on Prophet Muhammad PBUH by God .Muslim can never be a Muslim if he doesn’t believe in this book a lot people even memorize the whole book it covers topics like Justice, Science, One God , hereafter,signs way to live life etc writing these script is known as Islamic calligraphy must see a lot exhibitions are held in Europe and America relating to it about light well islam is said to be light in darg ages of man ! so i decided to do some serious thing with light i am glad you like it

Here is verse from Quran relating to science remember this is 1400 years old text

Do not the Unbelievers see that the heavens and the earth were joined together (as one unit of creation), before we clove them asunder? We made from water every living thing. Will they not then believe? {30} And We have set on the earth mountains standing firm, lest it should shake with them, and We have made therein broad highways (between mountains) for them to pass through: that they may receive Guidance. {31} And We have made the heavens as a canopy well guarded: yet do they turn away from the Signs which these things (point to)! {32} It is He Who created the Night and the Day, and the sun and the moon: all (the celestial bodies) swim along, each in its rounded course. {33}

Shukriya
