The Al-Zahrawan Mushaf is a Mushaf with similar verses in the margin, arranged according to a special methodology and with signs that clarify the similarity in the verses. We took into account the repetition of the place wherever it appears, as well as the use of symbols that clarify the part in which there is similarity. For example: the erased circle indicates that the similarity is at the beginning of the verse, while the unerased circle indicates that the similarity is in the middle of the verse, and the finger mark indicates that this place is a unique place... and so on. There is also a model on the first page in which the explanation is in form and example. We took into account the presence of similarity next to the verse on the same page, as well as arranging the similarities in the same order as the surahs of the Mushaf. We also placed the similarities in all the places where they were mentioned, in order to facilitate memorizing a single surah with its counterpart and what comes after it. The margin of the Mushaf mentions the similarity and mentions part of the verse to facilitate continuation in the places, and there is also a drawing in the Mushaf’s handwriting to facilitate reading. This Mushaf mentions most of the similarities that are difficult for the memorizer. This edition came with the text of the Sakhawiya system on similarities to facilitate memorizing the places of similarity.
