A Critical Review of the Article "Rasm al-Mushaf, Characteristics and Viewpoints"

In this article, the writer reviews and criticizes the reasons given in the article "Rasm al-Mushaf, Characteristics and Viewpoints" [written by the learned scholar Mr. Muhsin Rajabi, published in Mishkat No. 104, winter 1388] declaring the orthography of the Qurʹan to be subject to scriptural ruling (tawqifi) and made the following conclusions: 1. Orthography of the Qurʹan is not tawqifi. 2. The term Uthmani orthography is correct. 3- A considerable part of the reasons for difference in writing words in the orthography of the Qurʹan can be revealed on the basis of difference in qiraʹat (readings). 4. Difference of writing words in the orthography of the Qurʹan is not based on the meaning; rather, a major part of it is likely to be originated from difference in qiraʹat 5- It seems that as the Qurʹan has not recast a new procedure in employment of Arabic literature, so has it also dealt with writing of the Qurʹan and has left it up to people.
