A large form leaf from a Qur'an scribed in North India dated 1830. The leaf contains the final verses of the Meccan Chapter 41, Fussilat ('Verses' Perfectly explained) together with the header of the following Meccan chapter, Ash-Shura (Consultation). They challenge the Prophet Muhammad to ask those who deny the Quran, "who can be more astray than one who is in far-off opposition?" and declare that God will show them signs in the universe and within themselves until the truth of the Quran is clear. They are meant to be a challenge to those who reject the message of the Quran, prompting them to reflect on the evidence provided by the natural world and human existence itself, which ultimately points to the Creator. The leaf consists of lines of scripture in black nashki, with interlinear translation in Persian in red ink. The Chapter heading is in white thuluth on celestial blue surrounded by a simple red frame line. There is also a decorative marginal verse marking in gold upper right, below which is commentary in red and below that in black. The margins are ruled in gold and colour lines.
