Jennifer Aniston quashes adoption rumors

LOS ANGELES: Reports of Jennifer Aniston considering adoption from a Mexican orphanage are totally false.
Alleged sources were quoted as saying that Aniston regularly visits orphanages in Mexico and spending time with the kids made her consider adopting children of her own.
The ‘source’ was quoted as saying, “This has brought some happiness into her life, and brought her close to her dream of having her own child … At the orphanages, Jen is finding the fulfillment she’s missing in her marriage.
“She gets to be around kids, and she’s feeling appreciated for a change. She even wants to bring one or more kids home so she can feel like a mom all the time,” claimed the supposed source.
The report even alleges that it was Aniston’s ex-husband Brad Pitt “who first encouraged her to consider adoption in Mexico.”
However, when contacted, Jennifer Aniston’s representative denied all the claims and said that the story is completely made up.
Aniston has not recently visited any orphanages in Mexico, nor is she considering adopting a child from one of them. And she most certainly hasn’t discussed the issue with Pitt, it was reported.

Makkah museum displays world’s largest Qur’an

MAKKAH: The Holy Qur’an Museum at the Hira Cultural District in Makkah is showcasing a monumental handwritten copy of the Holy Qur’an, recognized as the largest Qur’an of its kind in the world.

The manuscript measures 312 cm by 220 cm and comprises 700 pages, earning the museum recognition from Guinness World Records for displaying the world’s largest Qur’an, the Saudi Press Agency reported.

The manuscript is a magnified reproduction of a historic Qur’an dating back to the 16th century, the SPA stated.

The original copy measures 45 cm by 30 cm, with the chapters written primarily in Thuluth script, while Surah Al-Fatiha was penned in Naskh, reflecting the refined artistic choices and calligraphic diversity of the era.

The Qur’an is a unique example of Arabic calligraphy, gilding and bookbinding, showcasing Islamic art through intricate decorations, sun-shaped motifs on the opening folio, and elaborately designed frontispiece and title pages that reflect a high level of artistic mastery.

The manuscript was endowed as a waqf in 1883. Its original version is currently preserved at the King Abdulaziz Complex for Endowment Libraries, serving as a lasting testament to Muslims’ enduring reverence for the Qur’an and the richness of Islamic arts across the centuries.
