Sistemasi Penulisan al-Qur’an: Telaah Historis-Filologis atas Proses Penulisan, Pengumpulan, dan Standardisasi Mushaf

Abstrak

This article examines the systematization of the writing of the Qur’an by analyzing the processes of revelation recording, manuscript compilation, and the standardization of the consonantal text in relation to the stability of the Qur’anic text. The study aims to reconstruct the mechanisms of transmission, verification, and canonization of the Qur’an by integrating classical Islamic accounts with contemporary philological and manuscript studies. This research employs a historical and philological approach through the analysis of classical sources on Qur’anic sciences combined with evidence from early Qur’anic manuscripts and modern paleographic studies. The findings indicate that the systematization of the Qur’an developed through a layered process involving oral and written traditions simultaneously, rather than a single act driven by political motives alone. The standardization of the manuscript during the caliphate of Uthman ibn Affan played a crucial role in maintaining the consistency of the consonantal text and textual structure. This discussion confirms that the stability of the Qur’anic text from the early period to the present is the result of a controlled and verified codification process.
