Before that, there were several versions of the Quran with different layouts. Each country printed its own Quran. The layout was different from one place to another. This caused problems for the hafiz. When they learned the Quran in one format, then changed their mushaf, they would get lost.
The King Fahd Complex created a standard version. All copies of the Medina Mushaf are identical. The same surah begins on the same page. The same number of lines per page. It became the perfect solution.
Today, the Medina Mushaf is used everywhere. The hafiz in Mecca memorize it in the same way as those in France or America. It is a worldwide unity based on a single format.
Layout and Features of the Medina Mushaf
15 lines per page: The Medina Mushaf always has 15 lines per page. This is its main characteristic. Each surah begins on a certain page. This makes memorization easier. You know that if you have memorized up to page 100, you are at the same place as a hafiz in Egypt.
The Uthmani script: The font used is the traditional Uthmani script. It is written by the calligrapher Uthman Taha, a famous artist. His writing is beautiful and clear. It respects the rules of traditional script. Each letter is written exactly as it should be.
Tinted paper: The paper is not white. It is tinted in pale blue or pale pink. Why? Because pure white tires the eyes. When you read for a long time, your eyes become tired. Tinted paper reduces this fatigue. It is modern technology designed for eye health.
Print quality: The printing is very sharp and clear. The letters are not blurry. The ink does not bleed through the paper. It is professional quality.
Break markers: At the end of each page, there is a marker. This shows that it is the end of a complete page. This is useful for memorization and revision.
