Abstract

The Qur'an is the verses of Allah, which Allah Himself has taken assurance to keep safe. And there is no any other opinion in saying that the Holy Qur'an is still safe today as the prophet Muhammadصلى الله عليه وسلم taught to his Companions. Thereafter, it is also obligatory to follow the Qur'anic punctuation and pronunciation during the recitation of holy Quran same as mandatories mentioned in Quran o Hadith and ijma-e-ummah to earnest reading of the Qur'an. The Arabs were linguists, so they stop to the proper place, understanding the meaning. But for the nonArabs, it was a very difficult matter. Therefore, for the   onvenience of the people, Allama Sajawandi put symbols in different places in the mus'haf so that these symbols can be dedicated in a suitable place keeping in mind and avoid spiritual error. Allama Sajawandi not only wrote many books on this topic but was the first to formulate endowment symbols on the Holy Quran. He Divide the symbols into five steps and apply them to the Mus'haf, Which are written still today.
