Rasm Uthmani

Pengenalan Ilmu Rasm 'Uthmani merupakan salah satu cabang ilmu Ulum al-Quran yang berkaitan secara langsung dengan al-Quran. Oleh itu kemulian sesuatu adalah bersandarkan al-Quran. Sebagai analoginya, kertas yang diproses dari kayu dijadikan kertas untuk menulis dan mencetak ayat-ayat suci al-Quran, maka kertas tersebut menjadi mulia dek kerana ditulis ayat-ayat suci al-Quran. Malah menyentuhnya juga tidak sembangan orang melainkan mereka yang dalam keadaan suci dari hadas sahaja. Dari kayu yang sama, dijadikan kertas untuk mencetak majalah atau pun akhbar. Tiada siapa yang henadak hiraukan suci atau pun tidak. Begitulah mulianya manusia jika berlandaskan tuntutan al-Quran, apatah lagi jika meramal dengannya.

This paper aims to dispel the confusion of students related to the knowledge of Rasm and Dhabt al-Quran among students of the Institute of Teacher Education, Sultan Mizan Campus.The confusion arises when they are unable to distinguish between the two disciplines of the Qur'an, namely, writing (rasm) and punctuation (dhabt). This paper solely focuses on the principle of alhazf, which is one of the five principles in the method of Rasm Uthmani as agreed upon by scholars today. The sample of this study was selected based on the principle of purposive sampling, that is, a sample that is believed to be able to answer the research questions well. The results show that there is no difference in terms of writing in the two mashafs because each was written in accordance with the principles and methods of Rasm Uthmani. However, it is noted that there are differences in terms of punctuation in the two mashafs. The punctuation differences were employed to meet the needs of the readership where the Quran was printed and according to current development then.
