Fathima Sajla Ismail Hand-Copies Entire Quran Using Traditional Pen

In a remarkable display of perseverance and devotion, Fathima Sajla Ismail, a graduate from Puttur, Karnataka, has become one of the few women in India to hand-copy the entire Holy Quran using a traditional dip pen (qalam).

Hawzah News Agency- Beginning her journey in January 2021 during the COVID-19 lockdown, Sajla dedicated approximately 2,416 hours to meticulously transcribe all 30 sections (juz) with unwavering accuracy and uniformity.

After taking a pause, she resumed the task in October 2024 and completed it on August 2, 2025, writing consistently for 302 days. An unfortunate ink blot early in the process forced her to restart a portion of the manuscript, but she persevered without compromising on discipline or quality.

A formal unveiling took place at her alma mater, Markazul Huda Women’s Degree College, where scholars and college officials attended.
