-Year-Old Mosque with Quran Inscribed on Its Walls Stands in China

The Great Mosque of Xi'an has charmed the Muslim dynasty with honor as much as any other religious heritage- with one being epic calligraphy of entire verses from the Holy Quran.

Hawzah News Agency (Shanxi, China) - This largest mosque across the province of Shanxi, China has breathed seven hundred years since its birth during the Hongwu reign of the Ming dynasty, with further additions during the Qing dynasty, still stands gracefully -- portraying all the elegance in its wall calligraphy.

The architecture excellence takes its minara from a fusion of Arabic and Nastaliq script brought on to the walls with no voids for imperfection and is indeed a blissful gift, which after construction was next taken in responsibility and renovation under impact of Qing dynasty.

 

What adds to its perfection is the scripting brilliance yet in its fine prominence and gathers as much believers as any other would.

In 1956, the mosque was declared a 'historical and cultural site protected at the Shaanxi province level, and was later promoted to a 'major historical and cultural site protected at the national level in 1988.

 

The mosque is still used as a place of worship by Chinese Muslims, primarily Hui people, today.
