The Standard 15-Line Madinah Layout

This Mushaf follows the widely used Madinah page layout of 604 pages with 15 lines on every page. Because the layout is standard, each page in this Mushaf matches the same page in most Madinah Mushafs used in masjids and hifz classes around the world. Surah Al-Fatihah and the opening of Al-Baqarah begin the Mushaf, and Surah An-Nas closes it on page 604.

For memorisation, this matters. Students who learn on a fixed layout remember where each verse sits on the page, which makes revision easier. Teachers can say "page 293" and every student opens to the same place. If you or your children are doing hifz, choose one size and keep using it so the page picture stays the same.

How to Choose the Right Size

14x21 cm (£11.50) – the lightest option. It fits easily in a bag for the masjid, school or travel, and is a good first Mushaf for older children and students.

17x21 cm (£14.00) – a slightly wider page with more space around the text. A comfortable everyday Mushaf for home and a popular choice as a gift.

22x28 cm large print (£22.00) – the largest text in the range. It is easiest on the eyes for parents and grandparents, for long recitation sessions, and for reading on a stand in the masjid.

All three sizes contain the same Uthmani text on the same 15-line layout, and each size comes in Black, Blue, Green, Red and White. Only the page and text size change. Select your size and colour above before adding to your basket; colours that are out of stock are shown as unavailable.

What Is Uthmani Script?

Uthmani script is the standard Arabic script used in the Madinah Mushaf and in most printed Qurans across the Arab world. It is named after the compilation of the Qur'an under the third Caliph, Uthman ibn Affan (RA). The script is valued for its consistency and clarity, which is why it is the most widely recognised Mushaf script for recitation and memorisation.

Uthmani vs IndoPak Script – Which Should You Buy?

Both scripts contain exactly the same Qur'an. The difference is only in letter shapes and reading marks:

Uthmani (Madinah) script – used in the Arab world and in most Madinah Mushafs. It has lighter letter forms and a clean page. It suits readers who learnt with Arabic-style Mushafs, or who follow Madinah-based hifz programmes.

IndoPak script – common in the UK's South Asian communities. It has bolder letters and extra vowel and stop marks. It suits readers who learnt in IndoPak-style madrasahs.

If you are unsure, choose the script your teacher or local masjid uses. Explore all script styles in our Mushaf collection.

Why Choose This Darussalam Mushaf

• Standard Madinah page layout: 604 pages with 15 lines per page, so every page matches the Mushaf used by most hifz teachers

• Clear, well-spaced Uthmani Arabic text for comfortable daily recitation

• Qur'anic text only, with no translation, commentary or colour-coded tajweed, for a classic reading experience

• Durable hardcover binding with gold-foil detailing

• Five cover colours, so the whole family can have their own Mushaf

• A thoughtful gift for Ramadan, Eid, weddings, hifz graduations and new Muslims

Ideal for Homes, Masjids and Madrasahs

Because every size shares one layout, this Mushaf works well when a whole class or family needs matching copies. Masjids and madrasahs often order several copies in different colours so that sections or year groups are easy to tell apart. For larger quantities, contact us at info@darussalam.uk.

Looking After Your Mushaf

A hardcover Mushaf lasts for many years with a little care. Keep it in a clean, dry place on a high shelf, out of direct sunlight. Handle it with clean hands, and ideally in a state of wudu when touching the Qur'anic text. Close it when you finish reading, and use a ribbon or bookmark rather than folding the corners of pages.

What is the difference between Uthmani and IndoPak script?

The Qur'an is identical. Uthmani script has lighter, Arabic-style letter forms, while IndoPak script has bolder letters and extra vowel and stop marks. Choose the style you learnt to read with.

Is this the same as a Madinah Mushaf?

Yes. This Darussalam Mushaf follows the Madinah Mushaf style in Uthmani script, which is why it is also searched for as Madani, Madina or Medina Mushaf.

No. It contains the Arabic Qur'anic text only. For colour-coded tajweed, see our Uthmani Script Quran with Tajweed & QR Audio.
