The results of the study found thatthe Play Store Al-Qur'an manuscripts in Indonesia are quite varied and can be divided intothree classifications: (1) Reading Mushaf; (2) Listening Mushaf; and (3) Learning Mushaf.Of the many mushaf applications available on the Play Store, only 10% said it had beenapproved by the LPMQ of the Ministry of Religion of the Republic of Indonesia, the restdid not mention a clear source. This phenomenon arises because of the lack of strictgovernment supervision of digital Qur'anic mushaf and the absence of special treatment tosuppress the circulation of digital Qur'ans that have not been standardized. This is at leastinfluenced by the policy of digital Qur’anic standardization which has not been stated inPMA Number 44 of 2016 concerning Issuance, Standardization, and Circulation ofQur'anic Mushaf.
