Ibrahim Sultan commissioned at least four illustrated manuscripts, including Sharaf ad-Din Ali Yazdi's biography of Timur,[1] a copy of Nizami's Iskandarnāma (Book of Alexander) that was completed in 1435/36,[2] a Shāhnāma (Book of Kings) that was prepared between the 1420s and early 1430s,[3] and an Anthology that was finished in 1420 and dedicated to his brother, Prince Baysunghur.

[4] Ibrahim Sultan was an accomplished artist, avid calligrapher and great collector of books.

Known to be observant in matters of religion, he personally scribed pious inscriptions on two madrasas he founded in Shiraz and at least five copies of the Qur'an.

Every page of this Qur'an, finished in June 1427, has profusely decorated margins of floral scrolls in gold and color.

Travelers passing underneath the gates were believed to receive the blessing of the Holy Book as they began their trip or journey from Shiraz.
