This Qur'an case was made to contain a miniature octagonal Qur'an. The cover is of pierced steel featuring four lines of calligraphy on a scrolling background. The inscriptions features Surat al-Ikhlas (Purity of Faith), one of the most succint Qur'anic chapters regarding tauhid (the unity of God). The eight sides of this case are decorated in gold with alternating floral and calligraphic motifs while the back is decorated with interlacing tendrils and flowers. Miniature Qur'an cases with the sacred book inside were carried on one's person for protective reasons.
