The three-day display, which began on Sunday, allows visitors to behold the sacred manuscript, complete with Urdu translations of all verses. The pilgrimage is open to the general public, including religious scholars, students, and people from all walks of life.

Pir Imtiaz Haider Shah Noorani Mujadadi, the calligrapher, shared that it took 425 days to complete the manuscript and three months to assemble it. The Quran has previously been displayed in various cities across Pakistan and is now in Mirpur for the first time.
