The book is written by Abdullah Abdulaziz Al-Muslih, Saudi author and Secretary General of the Complex for Islamic Fiqh Research in Riyadh, and was edited by Mohamed Saeed Alawlaqi. The project was unveiled by Mshahed International Group in Dubai under sponsorship of Sheikh Hamdan Bin Rashid Al-Maktoum, UAE finance minister and deputy ruler of Dubai.
Over 50 people took part in the construction of the book that cost around AED 11 million. According to Mshahed International Group, it took 16 months to pen and print out around one million copies in four languages, including Braille and is to be printed into Italian and Danish.
