Summary
The Federal Territories Syariah Consultative Committee decided that Quranic verses must precede their meanings and be written or printed with the verse number and the name of the surah. The surah number may be used together with the surah name, but writing or stating only the verse number without naming the surah is prohibited. The terms meaning, understanding or mafhum may be used to explain the content of verses. Hadith must be referred to their original sources to ensure the authenticity of the chain and text.
