Abstract:

Tawafuq, defined as compatibility and coincidence of two entities, is a new term used in scientific area. The common handwriting form of the Holy Quran, in which a page and line system was formed using measurement criteria taken from it, is called ayetberkenar Mushaf. This form provides great facilities in memorizing, reciting, and handwriting the Quran. The aim of handwriting the Mushaf with tawafuq, which was first handwritten by mid of XXth century, is to present a wonderful visual taste to the commons who do not understand the meaning of the Quran addressed to eyes, i.e. the meaning so-called “gözlü tabaka”. The words with tawafuq are not the just an i’jaz wit, but support the i’jaz, and since the wonderful tawafuqs are not ordinary coincidence they are miracles belonging to the Quran. The Mushaf with tawafooq was first handwritten by Ahmed Hüsrev Altınbaşak
