Yasin Burdah’s book is one of the amaliah books that the author often
encounters in everyday life. This book contained selected surahs, one of which is
surah Yâsîn which incidentally is very familiar among the people. However, of the
many Yasin Burdah books currently circulating in society, none of them have yet
received a Tashih Certificate (STT) from the LPMQ of the Indonesian Ministry of
Religion as one of the requirements before being circulated to the wider community.
The author also chose to focus on examining the waqf signs of Surah Yâsîn in the
Yasin Burdah Book and Indonesian Standard Mushaf because this is related to the
validity of the meaning of the verse and avoiding mistakes. In addition, the
existence of a waqf sign could help the reader stop at the right word so that he/she
could understand a verse comprehensively.
The purpose of this study was to find out how the waqf signs for surah Yâsîn
are contained in Yasin Burdah’s book and the difference with the Indonesian
Standard Mushaf, what factors cause the difference between the waqf signs for
surah Yâsîn in Yasin Burdah’s book and the Indonesian Standard Mushaf and to
find out how the difference influences sign of the waqf against understanding of the
meaning of the verse.
This type of research is library research that uses a qualitative approach in
general. The author has used a quantitative approach in calculating the aspects’
number of similarities and differences. The data collection techniques that have
been used are documentation techniques in collecting primary data and interview
techniques to collect secondary data with data analysis techniques in the form of
exploratory methods.
The result of this study is that the number of waqf signs contained in the
Indonesian Standard Mushaf is 53, while in Yasin Burdah’s book, there are 30 waqf
signs with 20 similarities between the two and 33 differences. The factors that have
caused the discrepancy between Yasin Burdah’s book and the Indonesian Standard
Mushaf are found in the reference source. Of the 33 differences, it can be seen how
the implications for understanding of the meaning of the verse are in the following
sample verses, namely Q.S. Yâsîn/36: 19, Q.S. Yâsîn/36: 33, Q.S. Yâsîn/36: 35 and
Q.S. Yâsîn/36: 57
