Christian woman saves Holy Quran from garbage
2005-09-27
A Christian woman, who found a copy of the Holy Quran outside a garbage dump near New Chauburji Park on Monday, cleaned and secured the Holy Book and handed it over to a family in the area. Perveen Bibi, a garbage collector, while looking for old bottles and other saleable items, saw a sack lying near the dump. When she opened the sack, she found a copy of the Holy Book along with other scraps of paper. Thereafter, she dusted and cleaned the Holy Book and handed it to a family in the area that she knew. The recovered version of the Holy Quran was published by Taj Company Limited, one of the foremost publishers of Islamic books until some years ago. The Company was discredited after its directors were accused to stealing the money of investors.
Somehow, that just seems so emminently Pakistani...
