سهم النور

The number of copies depends on the number of shares; at least one copy of the Qur'an will be printed for every share. Still, the number of printed copies per share can rise according to the indications of investment performance, as well as the decisions of the board of supervisors.

Yes, it will be sufficient, as the printed amount is related to the number of shares and the rate of the performance of investment, in addition to the advantage of the project that is represented in the number of copies of the Qur'an that are printed for every share annually. Moreover, the number of shares increases from year to year.

The project is dedicated to the service of producing copies of the Qur'an; an aim which the project works to reach through many forms of production. Among the future plans of the project are the following:

• Printing hard copies of the Qur'an in various sizes;
• Producing copies of the Qur'an in Braille system for use by the blind;
• Producing audio copies of the Qur'an in the different modes of recitation;
• Producing electronic audiovisual and soft copies of the Qur'an
• Translating the meanings of the Qur'an to different languages

The project has established a general strategic frame for printing on three levels:

The first level: Printing the Qur'an in non-commercial institutions dedicated to printing the Qur'an, such as King Fahad's Complex for Printing the Qur'an in Saudi Arabia, Africa Qur'an House in Sudan, and others.

The second level: Printing the Qur'an in publishing houses dedicated to printing the Qur'an, which have extensive experience in this field such as "`Ulum Al-Qur'an Institution" and others.

The third level: Hiring a production printing line in distinguished publishing houses for a year or a limited period, in addition to appointing committees that are specialized in the field of the Qur'an to review and monitor the printing process.

There are many reasons for choosing this strategy, the most important of which are the following:

1. The project focuses on a main goal; that is, the achievement of printing the Qur'an with perfect quality and correctness, which is available in well-established institutions, specialized in printing the Qur'an. This means that there will be no need, at least in the first phases, to repeat efforts.

2. The project will not waste time in establishing new printing institutions, especially in the beginning, because this requires a great deal of effort in administering, maintenance, follow-up, and so forth.

3. The project's ability to meet the huge demands for so many copies of the printed Qur'an can only be achieved through working on different sides, when needed.

4. The project takes into consideration the place of printing (the country where printing takes place) and the areas that are targeted to distribute copies therein.

No. The project aims at printing the Qur'an translated in different languages.

The project does not have this vision in the beginning; however, based on field studies, the project may have this attitude, but in future phases, and on a regional level. The project might establish a printing house with high and distinguished production capabilities in a particular country to cover the needs of other neighboring countries or even the needs of parts of a continent, such as Southeast Asia (Indonesia, Malaysia and Brunei), central Asia (Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan), or Indian subcontinent (Pakistan, Bangladesh and India).

The project in the current phase depends on printing hard copies of the Qur'an, while electronic copies printed on CDs or cell phones will be dealt with in future phases of the project. When these media are adopted, there will be a comprehensive review of the value of the shares, the cost of printing, and the methods of distribution, among other things, according to the vision and aims of the project.

Yes, the copies of the Qur'an that the project will distribute will be called "Mushaf Al-Nour", and will have a special design related to the project, which will appear on the cover and the first page.

The project is careful to print copies of the Qur'an with high quality as regards the materials used, good printing and accurate review.

The mushaf, unlike books kept on shelves, is frequently used which means that the papers and the cover of the mushaf will be affected. The default age of the mushaf is estimated to range from three to five years, after which it will require binding. It can be used for a few more years, but will not repairable after that. This means that there will be a continuous need for mushafs.

Serving the Noble Qur'an and distributing it among Muslims and non-Muslims mean that there will be a continuous need for huge numbers of mushafs. This means that there is no limit for dreams and ambitions in serving the Noble Qur'an. If the project can collect 10 million shares for example, it will try to increase the number of mushafs. According to our plans, we seek to publish one billion mushafs in the next fifty years.

The project seeks to utilize every effort that can serve the Noble Qur'an. Among these is the founding of a research and development unit, which is to work on finding the means and forms to produce the Qur'an, as well as ways to achieve the objectives of the project.
