Abstract

One of the uniqueness found in the old al-Quran in the archipelago is its luxury with the beauty of decorative illumination art. Ornaments found in the Quran are usually only found in the front, middle and end of the Quran. Each decoration sketched on the manuscript has its own meaning and is related to the life of the local community. Therefore, this article aims to introduce an al-Quran manuscript originating from Madura Indonesia and then explain in detail the characteristics and types of decoration found in the al-Quran manuscript MSS 4322, which has been collected in the National Library of Malaysia. This study uses analysis methods based on library research and secondary materials such as books, manuscripts and journal articles. Interviews also conducted to obtain data related to decorative illumination art information on manuscripts. The findings show that the manuscript al-Quran MSS 4322 originates from the country of Madura, Indonesia. This is because the names of Pangeran Jimat and queen Tirtonegoro are written on the manuscript of the Qur'an, who were rulers in Sumenep, Madura in the 18th century AD. This research also shows manuscript writing using daluang paper with a neat, attractive and consistent manuscript writing model written in a three-line frame with a combination of red and black. The illumination is very beautiful with the drawing of spiral leaves as a result of the combination of various colors. Hardcover is thick, using leather from a tree carved with a floral patterned drawing according to the "block" plated with copper and gold powder on the leather and flaps of the volume. Findings show that the author proposes that this manuscript can be digitized as a scholarly heritage so that it will last a long time while also helping the community to more easily access it in a digital form that is sustainable in nature. In conclusion, the ornamentation in this al-Quran manuscript is a masterpiece that will elevate the dignity of the decorative art of previous scholars' hand-drawn academically and more authoritatively to the digital generation, especially in the field of creative art of Islamic cultural heritage, especially in Malaysia.
