An Egyptian artist, who educated himself after dropping out of school, has spent three years creating what he hopes is the world's biggest Quran. "This Quran is 700 meters long, and of course that's a large amount of paper," he told Reuters Television. Mohammed wants to submit his Quran for inclusion in Guinness World Records. Guinness says that while there is a record for the world's biggest printed Quran, there is so far no record holder for the largest handwritten version.
