The Treasury Department of the Holy Alawi Shrine has published the book Endowment Deeds of Manuscript Qurans in the Alawi Treasury, authored by Shaikh Hussain Wathiqi. This initiative forms part of the Alawi Treasury's ongoing efforts to preserve written heritage, attend to manuscript Qurans and historical documents, and introduce the valuable holdings and documentary resources preserved in its collections, which can serve researchers.

Ammar Mashallah, Head of the Alawi Treasury and Museum Department, stated in an interview with the Shrine’s News Center:

“This book was unveiled during the launch ceremony of the ‘Millennium of the Najaf Seminary’ project at the Holy Alawi Shrine. This work represents a scholarly addition to the heritage works of interest to the Alawi Treasury, and will play a role in introducing the important manuscript Qurans, documents, and endowment deeds held in this collection.”

This book is the first independent work to bring together, in a single volume, a collection of endowment inscriptions written on noble manuscript Qurans held in Quranic treasuries. The work also presents important material and documents that address part of the history of manuscript Qurans and their endowment heritage.
