Egyptian artist hopes for record with 700-meter Koran
He displays the intricately decorated manuscript in a large wooden box with rollers at each end.
"This Koran is 700 meters long, and of course that's a large amount of paper," he told Reuters Television. "I self-funded this project for the past three years - and I'm an average person. I don't have assets or anything."
Mohammed wants to submit his Koran for inclusion in Guinness World Records.
Guinness says that while there is a record for the world's biggest printed Koran, there is so far no record holder for the largest handwritten version.
Mohammed says he is hoping for help with the costs of applying to Guinness from the government or any other interested party.
