Mushaf e Ajmi

INTRODUCTION:
The Nobel Quran is words (message) of Allah, revealed, gradually nearly 23 years to
the Prophet Muhammed sallallaho alehey wasalam in Arabic language. It is the primary
and central source of final divine guidance to mankind. It was transmitted orally to the
Prophet sallallaho alehey wasalam through Archangel Jibrail (Gabriel) Alayhis Salam
Since the final divine message (Quran) was not revealed all at once, it was not possible
to preserve the message in writing in a book form at that time. During the initial stage of
Islam major emphasis was laid on memory as a means of preserving the message. The
prophet Sallallahu alehey wasalam and his companions (radhiallaahu nhuma) used to
memorize the revelation(wahy) as soon as they revealed.
Besides having the Qur'an committed to memory, the Holy Prophet (Sallallahu alehey
wasalam) made special arrangements to have the Qur'an committed to writing through
his literate companions (radhiallaahu nhuma) who after writing the text used to read
the verses to the Prophet sallallaho alehey wasalam to ensure there were no
shortcoming. During those days paper was not readily available in Arabia; therefore,
these Qur'anic verses were mostly written on stone slabs, parchments, date branches,
bamboo units, tree leaves and animal bones.
The divine revelation stopped few months before the passing of the prophet Sallallahu
alehey wasalam at that moment the Quran was completed and its order and
arrangement and manner of reciting in seven dialects were finalized and approved by
Almighty Allah through his messenger before his death.
The Quranic Arabic written text (script) was standardized and made into a book form
(Mushab) about 20 years later by his third successor Sayyidnaa Uthman (radhiallaahu
nhum). The authorized text also know as Uthmani script also incorporated all seven
dialects reading - (Huruf) of Quran by knowingly leaving the text without dots and
vowels signs so the text could be read within the limit of seven dialects. At that time
Muslims reached a consensus on the rule that it is not permissible to write the text of
the noble Qur'an using any method other than the Uthmani Script standard.
With the spread of Islam beyond the Arabian Peninsula, and the increasing number of
non-Arab Muslims, there was a greater need for facilitating reading and learning of
Arabic. Since several letters of the Arabic alphabet shared the same shapes, and
vowels signs were not clearly indicated, some improvement was needed. As a
consequence, a system of letter-pointing Nuaqt or Ijam, diacritical marks I'rab and
vowel indication tashkeel including sukoon, Nunation tanween, double consonant
tashdid prolongation maddah and glottal stop hamzah signs were introduced and
perfected well before the first century of Islam. They serve pronunciation keys to as
facilitate proper reading.
Before the advent of computers, master copies of Qurans were hand written
(calligraphy) either for personal collection or for copy/reproduction purpose. Over the
centuries the style of calligraphy has been evolving and there are several popular styles
such have been used such as Kufic, Naskh, Nastalq and other style. In 20th century
onward two printed copies of Nobel Quran styles that have been widely circulated, one
is called Mushaf al-Madinah an-Nabawiyyah suitable for Arabic speaking and available
in various reciting style (riwyahs -Hafs,warsh ad-Duriyy etc.) and second is Indo-Pak or
Farsi script (no appropriate name yet is given but we shall call it Mushaf-e-Ajmi) suitable
for Muslims having no knowledge of Arabic language available Hafs riwyah only. Both
employ Uthmani scrip standard slightly differ in the convention of diacritical marks. The
Mushaf-e-Ajmi has been simplified so that learners do not need to know any Arabic
language and its grammar rules such as having to differentiate between letter Alif or
hamza, mute letters, simplify method for writing alif/hamza, long vowel letters Huroofemaddah, alif maqsurah or khara-zaber, madd-e-asli maddah ya or khari-zer and
maddah waw or ulta-pesh and some other minor variations. The Mushaf-e-Ajmi divides
Quran in sections (Ruku') not found in Mushaf-e-Madinah, it also employs more
pause/stop signs (Rumiiz al-Awqaf ) than Mushaf Madinah.
