Encased in a gold-coloured metal box attached to a key chain and about the length of a safety pin, this mini holy book in Arabic script, is a gift that Ibrahim received out of the blue, 43 years ago. “Since it is a holy book, Muslims must touch the Quran only after performing ablutions (known as ‘wudhu’ in Arabic). Syed Ibrahim is the proud possessor of a miniature copy of the Holy Quran that signifies for him, the eternal spirit of secularism in India. “I believe this mini Quran is my gift from Allah through the kindness of a stranger, and I am grateful for this blessing. Rajendran brought him to me, and that’s how I got this rare treasure,” said Mr.
