Kota Kinabalu: Printers and publishers are advised to follow the guidelines on manuscripts issued by the Ministry of Home Affairs (KDN).
KDN Secretary-General Datuk Ruji Ubi said the manuscript could correct the reading of the Quran and make it easier especially in reading because it had waqaf signs.
“Through this mushaf, the KDN shows the signs of waqaf that are coloured which indicate where we should stop and we repeat in the next recitation of the Quran which will help us read smoothly.
“In addition, reading signs like that also help our reading so that we don’t lose the meaning of the Al-Quran verses and reduce the mistakes that happened previously without us realising it.
“Therefore, I request publishers who have a printing licence out there to follow what we outline in this Al-Quran manuscript,” he said when met by the media after paying a courtesy visit to Head of State Tun Juhar Mahiruddin at Istana Seri Kinabalu on Thursday.
According to Ruji, the courtesy visit conveyed the content of the mushaf to State dignitaries since they were religious leaders and also distributed copies of the mushaf to 2,000 selected mosques and suraus throughout the country.
Also present were Secretary of the KDN Enforcement and Control Division, Nik Yusaimi Yusof and the Deputy Secretary of the KDN Enforcement and Control Division, Farid Shariff.
