The answer

Scholars, both ancient and modern, have authored many works on the orthography (rasm) of the Qur’an and conventional spelling (imla’ istilahi), including: "Al-Muqniʿ," "Al-ʿAqilah," "Mawrid al-Ẓamʾan," "Al-Muḥtawa al-Jamiʿ," and "Kashf al-ʿAma." Additionally, numerous books have been written on Arabic spelling (imla’ ʿarabi). However, there is no single work that combines these two topics (Qur’anic orthography and Arabic spelling) and discusses the differences between them.
