1. The first two pages are written in diwaani style.
2. It contains examples of handwritten letters of prophet sallalahu alayhi wasalam (the one with his stamp, on the top right corner) and the sahaba, in Kufi style of writing. [Note: as per my knowledge the letters don't exist today in handwritten form]
3.It has a total of 185 pages only, each page consisting of 23 lines and the whole juz/parah is covered in 6 single sided pages.
4. Each line on every page starts with an "Alif", and for this reason it is called the "Alfi" Quran
5. Different styles of writing "bismillah", from the time of the prophet sallalahu alayhi wasalam until the present day, of all 113 suwar which begin with bismillah.
6. It has a special polished box made from Austrian Snowbar Tree which is engulfed with velvet.
