Thank you @omarelakkad for this book. In some sense it shows how we might write about the moon. How to write in a way that gravitates to responsibility, curves to justice, and reflects the real beauty of human beings, both those with us and those taken from us.

Laylat al-Qadr: A Night of Power and Illumination

On this sacred night, when the Qur’an was revealed, we reflect on its beauty—both in words and in the devotion of those who preserved it through art. This Single-volume Qur’an, crafted in the Ottoman Balkans around 1849–50, is a stunning example of that tradition.
