Remarks

Abbas Musa Rijiyar Lemo, born in 1970, began publishing Qur'anic manuscripts in 2003 (p. 313). His work is noted for its numerological significance; for example, his 2008 edition is precisely 786 pages long, matching the numerical value of the 'basmala' formula in traditional Arabic numerology (p. 313). His innovation aims to achieve divine blessings and public recognition (p. 314).
