A Secret Nine Million Of Copies Of Quran In.

At a distance of 10 Km from the city of Quetta Baluchistan is present Jable Nur which in English means the mountain of Quranic light. This mountain was named Jable Nur in 1992 when the locals started gathering the damaged Qurans coming to them from all parts of the whole country.
There are manually dig tunnels present in this mount and each tunnel is 160 feet wide. The mountain itself is 4 Km long and it has as much as 60 tunnels. All of these tunnels were dug by the locals and there was hardly any machine used back in those days.
Here in these 60 tunnels you will find a collection of 9 million different dated copies of the Holy Quran. Some of them are even as older as of 1100 A.D. This work was started 25 years ago by two brothers and four of their friends.
After 25 years their legacy continues and people are still working in the same way they all used to do. The expenditures are bared by the family of the people who started it but at the same time there are many others who contributes to this noble cause.
Some of them built a mosque in that area and some even volunteered as workers in digging the tunnels so in real terms there was never a shortage of funds and man power.
Here at this place not only the damaged copies are preserved but also are repaired and those who are repaired are then sent back to religious schools to help the children. Some 2.5 million copies have been repaired and sent back to the schools.
In 2000 the Baluchistan government took charge of the place and announced it as a public place and since then it has becomes a shrine.
Jable Nur or the Mountain of Quranic light is located at a distance of 10 Km from the city of Quetta and it is one of the most famous places around the block. This mountain is one of the biggest depots of preserved copies of Quran.
The mountain is 4 Km long and it has in it 60 tunnels dug by the locals without ant machinery and they did it with their bare hands. Each tunnels is 160 feet wide so the people who dig these tunnels deserve a standing ovation.
In 1992 two brothers and four of their friends thought of this unique idea and started working on it. They use to collect the damaged copies of the Quran here and preserve them in glass shelves. After 25 years their mission is still continuing with the same spirit.
This place holds 9 million copies of the Quran and some of them are really very older as of 1100 AD. The expenditures made in all these efforts are taken care by many people. Some of them belong to the family of the people who started it.
There are others who contribute in the financial matters and then there are some who built a mosque around the corner. Few of them stepped in to work as the tunnel diggers.
Here in this place not only the restoration takes place but also the repair work is also done. Those copies which are repairable are repaired here and then are sent back to the religious schools so the students get the maximum benefits.
It is estimated that 2.5 million copies have been repaired here and dispatched to different parts of the country. In the year 2000 the local government of Baluchistan took the control of the place and under their authority it was declared as a public place.
Since that day there is a large number of people coming here on daily basis, offering prayers and reciting Quran far from the noises of the city life towards the eternal peace and glory.
