Vowel and Punctuation Mark of the Qur’an of Indonesian Standard in the Perspective of Dabt Science

Abstract

This paper would like to re-analyze the discussion of the form of vowel and punctuation in the Qur’an  of Indonesian Standard that has become the fixed standard for the distribution and publication of the Qur'an in Indonesia since 1984. This study is important, besides as an introduction to the  academic text of the study of  dabt  in the  Standard Quran, also as an effort to reinstate  the historical development of vowel and punctuation mark in the writing of the Qur’anic discourse (rasm al-mushaf) which are rarely addressed in discussions of the writing of the Qur'an in Indonesia. The shallowness to understand science of  dabt  often becomes a trigger of the disputes as it is also happened in the discussion of the “Ottoman Rasm†in the writing of the Qur'an.
Keywords: Qur’an of Indonesian Standards, vowel and punctuation marks.
