Thirteen years in the making, Birk's American Qur'an consists of 464 pages of ink and gouache on paper, and comprises all 114 suras of the Qur'an. Birk hand transcribed the entire text using an 1861 Arabic to English translation by J. M. Rodwell as his reference. Following in the tradition of Qur'anic manuscripts throughout the centuries, Birk worked to create unique artworks, each envisioned as if it were a two-page spread in a codex.
