Choosing a Mushaf: Script, Translation and Print Quality

What to know first

Treat the mushaf with respect. Keep it clean, in a high place and handle it with care.

What to check

• Script: Uthmani or Indo-Pak style. Pick the one you can read.
• Pages: a fixed 15-line layout helps memorisers.
• Translation: choose a respected, clearly labelled translation.
• Paper and print: thick, non-glossy paper reduces glare.
• Size: pocket, desk or large print.

Buying tips

• Buy from a reliable publisher.
• Avoid editions with missing pages or poor binding.
• Choose different editions for children and adults.
