This illustrated leaf is from the Holy book scribed by Abdullah at-Khadim in AD1616. It is in good condition, with some minor devotional use bottom left and some damp in the top margin. 

The leaf is from the Meccan Chapter 6, Al-Annan, v.108-111, which allude to God being the judge of all man's life long deeds when it comes to judgement day and the consequences for those who disbelieve in God's signs, similar to how some interpretations describe the effects of disbelief on a person's ability to see and understand truth. The statement that "we sent angels to them and the world spoke to them" (V111) is where God describes the ultimate signs and challenges to prove His truth, even to those who demand them.

The format is very typical of a Sultanate India Koran of the early period with expansive headings and large script in fine hand. In this case, there are three large headings in Muhaqqaq, dividing the two sections of scripture.  Attractive marginals mark key chapter divisions.
