| The inscription of the Qur'an requires great care because it must be read easily without error and be visually beautiful. The Qur'an known as Aria Mehr is the most famous Qur'an in the Iranian Naskh script, which inspired Master Bani Razi, and the result of his efforts is the inscription of the official Qur'an of the Islamic Republic of Iran. However, there are different unwritten arguments about the fluent reading of these two inscriptions of the Qur'an. The main aim of this study is to examine the degree of the fluent reading of the Naskh script in the Nirizi's and Bani Razi's Qur'an inscriptions. It is assumed that today the readability of the Qur'an is more important than in the past. This study seeks to find the answer using a descriptive-comparative method. According to the findings, due to the position of the dot and the diacritics, the way the words are placed on the line, the observance of the distances between words and letters, Bani Razi's Qur'an inscription is basically superior in terms of readability comparing with that of Nirizi's. However, the Nirizi's work is more beautiful in terms of paying more attention to the beauty of the words, not using the Alef al-Maqsoorah and dealing with the decorations. |
