REPUBLIKA.CO.ID, JAKARTA -- The head of Standing Committee of Tashih Koran Mushaf, Muchlis Hanafi, revealed that since 1984, there was no further assessment of the Quran Mushaf in Indonesia academically. Many regions, such as Aceh, were critized that the Quran Mushaf in Indonesia does not the same with the Quran Mushaf of the Ottoman.

He emphasized that the Quran Mushaf with Indonesia standard is in accordance with the Ottoman. In Iran, some times ago, he conducted an assessment of some Quran from various country, such as Libya, India, and Iran. In fact that Quran Mushaf in Indonesia are taking reference from Quran Mushaf in India.

“Perhaps the Quran went through the trade,” he said.

After he met Kyai Sya’roni, a Quran expert from Central Java, he explained that if Quran Mushaf in Indonesia wants to adopt the Quran Mushaf from the Ottoman, then the harakat in Indonesia Qurran should be eliminated.

"Therefore, at the time (1972-84), the harakat was the result of ijtihad of our Quran experts," he added.

The result of itjihad of the Quran experts was to facilitate the public to learn the Koran and also by taking Indonesian culture values.

“It’s part of our ulema itjihad to facilitate the people, but the meaning of the Quran wasn’t changed,” he explained.
