An interactive exhibition exploring the Holy Qur’an, Arabic calligraphy, scientific discovery, and human rights will be held at King’s College London this week.
Running from 22 to 25 April at the university’s Strand Campus, the event aims to present the Qur’an as a source of insight across disciplines, combining ancient knowledge with modern understanding in an accessible and engaging format.
