Abstract

The official letter of ‘Uthman refers to the spelling style of the Mushafs copied under the leadership of Caliph’ Uthman ibn Affan. The significance of the official letter is that from ancient times, all Muslim scholars have stressed the need to write the Quran only in this spelling. However, scholars have differed on whether this spelling was recorded by revelation or based on the knowledge of the Companions. Many claim that the spelling of the Quran was based on the knowledge and experience of the Companions, while at the same time under the control of revelation. This idea has a scientific basis. There are different aspects of the official letter from the current spelling, and researchers have interpreted this difference differently: 1. Some scholars, including many orientalists, have claimed that the features in the official letter arose because the Companions did not know the letter well. This idea has no scientific value. 2. A group of scholars have linked the features of the official letter to divine mysteries, tried to interpret them inwardly, and have gone deep into the matter. This idea also has no scientific basis and does not conform to the rule. 3. The features observed in the official letter were a requirement of the spelling rules and skills of the time. Ancient scholars and modern researchers have supported this view. Scientific research also proves this.
