Baitul quran is very nice masjid and I am always going to Baitul Quran for my prayers. Its very close from my. Work place.

The place has a lot of a old copies of the Quran and inscriptions on scrolls and all.Photography is prohibited though, from inside this museum.

The most fascinating exhibition of the Quran Ive ever seen. The manuscripts available are fantastic. From verses written on grains of rice to the first ever translation of the Quran into English, this is an impressive collection of books that capture the global and historical impact of Islam.

Various copies of Quran from many years ago, hand-written and more recent printed copies. Many varieties to see, small and large. Also, a part of the cover from the Kabaah is here which was interesting to see the dimensions and embroidery up close.

Very interesting. Free entry unless you are part of a tour group

It is Sad when you see the Receptionist applying his own roles. And insisting that they close at 01:00 pm while its mentioned 01:30 pm. !! Date: 20 Nov 2021 in case if any actions will be taken.

Nice and interesting place to see some historical Qurans

Very nice place, you will get to see huge collection of Qurans from different periods of time from across the world

Such beautiful place with history..No entrance fee...Mist visit

Guy i am giving my review standing outside ,it is close due to covid-19.so it was a bad news for me,i hope you dont waste time visitng in covid-19.

Probably few.of their portions are permanently closed. Otherwise an excellent collection of Quran Shareefs from different empires and countries...

If you are visiting Bahrain, its definitely worth visiting. The entry fee is upto your discretion. Lots of scriptures of the holy Quran including tiny ones and translated ones. No photos allowed.

Very spacious and modern building. Great collection of 100s of manuscripts of the Holy Quran.Rare copies of the Quran; dating back to 9 AD are available here.Must visit for people of all religions and backgrounds especially those who are passionate about Quranic history.

Apart from being a beautiful masjid, Beit Al Quran has a treasure of great books about Islam in a form of a fully facilitated library. This is an iconic spot for a must visit in beautiful Bahrain.

Iconic building at the heart of Manama. It literally means “the house of Quran”. Quran is the holy book of Muslims which literally means recitation. Muslims believe that Quran is the word of the Creator of the universe as dictated to Mohamed by the archangel Gabriel which was written down and compiled in a book. In the building they have some old copies of Quran dating back to the first century when it was revealed. It consists of a beautiful small mosque. If you visit in the evening you might get the chance to listen to the Quran being recited by the Imam(person leading people in salah - Islamic ritual worship for the reverence of the Creator performed 5 set times during the day and night -in a melodious way. Definitely a must for everyone who is interested in learning new things!

Good museum for setting some of the oldest Quran books in the region. They are well preserved with some English explanation of their historical and regional background.

Beautiful museum in the heart of Bahrain, its a great effort to preserve all the possible historical belongings in a very attractive and classical look.

Nice collection of Quran old artifacts. But the exhibition is small compared the big building. I wonder what they do with the rest !!

One of the most beautiful place to visit. It has a treasure of holy Quran since many years. Very nice idea and structure of the Museum.Unfortunately not allowed to take photos.

wonderful pleace with huge collection of Islam Artifacts and Calligraphy. One of the most places to visit in Bahrain

Didnt visit yet.. Was told that near to old city in Bahrain, good place to visit especially to educate oneself on islamic history and see classicsl copies of Quran.Will visit and review again. In sha Allah

Brief history and historical Islamic documents can be found here. Very rare scriptures and other items can also be found.

Historic Quran manuscripts. Tried to look for Holy Prophets letter written to Bahrain king inviting him to Islam. But could not find. They say it is kept here!

A place that is worth visiting, I was amazed by the amount of unique and rare books that they have. Unfortunately it is not allowed to take pictures

Awesome museum of ancient collection of quran and also there is a small prayer hall, in which daily prayer is conducted...

A beautiful place to visit only drawback is the lighting (I am not an expert but maybe they would have given that sort of lightning to avoid damage to the rare old scriptures which are available there and if thats the reason am sorry for saying that light is the drawbackvery spacious exhibit and aesthetically arranged a must visit in the Kingdom of Bahrain!

Very unprofessional and rude receptionist. He will force you to make a donations although it is out of ones choice to make donations. This has been happening for atleast 2 years. I think the management should look into this matter seriously as it is not only affecting the reputation of the great place but also the country itself.The place as such is wonderful with good collection of old Quran manuscripts. Although it seems it is not maintained properly. Toilets are extremely degraded.

Beit Al Quran is a unique Islamic International Institution dedicated to service the Holy Quran. It is located in Manama ,Bahrain and has Al Furqan Library, Al Hayat Museum ,Al Khalifa Lecture Hall ,Yousif Bin Ahmed School for Quranic Studies & Abdul Rahman Kanoo Mosque. Bahrain issued three stamps and a First Day Cover on 18 Feb 2001 on its 10th Anniversary.

The house of the Quran is most a place to visitYou will find many Qurans that are up to hundreds of years oldsmell of history and Islamenjoy

MUESUM IS REALLY GOODWORTH GIVING IT A WATCH.A VERY PEACEFUL AND BEAUTIFUL MOSQUEWITH A BEAUTIFUL DOME.

Boasting to be the only museum in the world dedicated to the Holy Quran, the entire visit there is a beautiful and equally humbling experience. Truly amazing place to visit!

A beautiful collection of 7th - 20th century Quranic manuscripts from all over the Central Asian world. No photography is allowed inside the museum of manuscripts.

The place is very cosy and not very big. You can finish it in under 30 minutes depending on how detailed you want to be. It has a vast collection of Qurans from the very early 1st century of Islam up to modern copies. Dont miss it. Admission is free and donations are welcomed. The museum has a mosque attached to it. The only reason I gave it four stars because it does not have any interactive exhibits, also, you cant see any staff, most probably because the admission is free and they dont have enough funds.

It has a very unique collection of Qurans than been written in varis period of the Islamic states

This is a very fantastic place if anyone is interested to know about the history of Muslims. It has many old scriptures and old Holy Books preserved very safely in their museum.The museum also contains a prayer room which offers 5 times prayers daily. But does not offer the (jummahfriday prayers.The place also undertakes proper hygienic measures at all times..and it does not have a womens section for prayers..

A very interesting place to visit for those who have interest in Islamic history and Quranic scriptures. Was sad yo see that it is not being visited by very many people. Moreover there are no arrangements for salat for ladies.

Small but amazing collection of quranic manuscripts. Nicely laid out. Theres mosque as well but they only have prayer facilities for gents.

It is a Quran museum that shows quranic manuscript of all ages and as old as 7th century AD. We have seen different styles of manuscript, all are very beautiful, few verses are written on stones also. Gallery is also very beautiful. We have seen a Pakistani masterpiece, a verse written on a rice seed, that can only be seen with the help of microscope.

Be careful while visiting on eid vacations usually it is off during public holidays and this status is not accurately updated on google maps. Where there normal operating hours are mentioned. The best solution is to first call at there contact number to avoid any surpirise when you reach there!

What they have in there in terms of history is amazing, and the building structurally is beautiful. It would have been useful to have more information on the history of the artefacts, however, and the interior was very dimly lit and felt a bit dated. Highly recommend a visit, regardless!

Wonderful museum collection. Prayer area has spectacular domed ceiling. Also offers Quran classes
