Section 12
Certifying of Qur’anic texts printed before commencement of Act
of Printing of Qur'Anic Texts Act 1986
Any person intending to sell, distribute or publish any
Qur’anic text printed before the commencement of this Act shall submit the Qur’anic text to the Lembaga for it to be examined by the
Lembaga and for the Lembaga to certify that the Qur’anic Verses contained therein are correct.
(2)
As soon as possible after receiving a Qur’anic text under subsection (1), the Lembaga shall examine the Qur’anic text and determine whether the Qur’anic Verses contained therein are correct.
(3)
If the Lembaga is satisfied that the Qur’anic Verses contained in the Qur’anic text are correct, the Lembaga shall so certify and shall cause a certificate to that effect to be conspicuously affixed on the first or last printed leaf thereof or, in the case of a recorded text, at a conspicuous part of the text.
(4)
The Lembaga may direct such corrections as it considers necessary to be made to the Qur’anic text before certifying under subsection (3).
(5)
If the Lembaga finds any error in the Qur’anic Verses contained in the Qur’anic text and that it is not suitable to direct correction under subsection (4), the Lembaga shall cause the
Qur’anic text to be destroyed in such manner as it deems proper and shall cause the person concerned to be informed of the matter and of the errors justifying the destruction.
