Islamic authorities agree that this Arabic edition of the Holy Qur'an is of the highest quality in every respect. The text was prepared under the supervision of Al-Azhar University in Cairo; as was the proofing of the films and plates. The beautiful, clear Arabic type was handset at the beginning of this century and reproduces the text in an extraordinarily legible manner. The whole book design is in keeping with the famous typography. The splendid title pages, and the frames and ornamentations that embellish all the pages and endpapers are printed in gold, blue and black. 

The printing was carried out in leading houses of West Germany. The printing colours as well as the wood-free, off-white paper have been carefully composed and were produced especially for this Qur'an edition to the highest technical and aesthetic standards. The cover design was adapted by Dr. Mahmud Rasch from a Moroccan binding of the 9th century hijra (15th century A.D.).

The Thesaurus Islamicus Foundation has also produced a 19 volume Hadith Encyclopaedia.
