Approximately 150 ancient Quranic manuscripts and pages were stolen from Jabal Noor-ul-Quran, a renowned site in Quetta, Pakistan, where sacred Islamic texts are preserved.

The theft occurred when unknown individuals broke into the facility, located in the Koh-e-Chiltan area west of Quetta, by forcing open locks and glass cases that housed the manuscripts. The culprits remain unidentified, and a case has been registered at the Brewery Police Station. However, no arrests have been made so far.

Established in 1992, Jabal Noor-ul-Quran is an iconic site where millions of Quranic pages and manuscripts are preserved in tunnels carved into the mountain. It serves as a sanctuary for aging and damaged copies of the Quran, ensuring that they are handled with respect and care in accordance with Islamic teachings.
