Inventing the three signs of short movements is the most basic kind of initiative of Muslims in order to read the text of the Holy Quran correctly and to protect it from any distortion and change. With the expansion of the marking of musafirs and the emergence of new symbols, which were generally drawn as dots, it became more difficult for readers to distinguish these symbols. while expressing the process of formation of different shapes of short movement signs in different periods, has studied the method of Mushaqah and Magharbeh Mus'hafs in recording the signs mentioned in the Holy Quran; Finally, by examining four types of recording of short movement signs and also examining the shape of Tanvin signs in different periods and places, it became clear that, firstly, short movement signs have not had a fixed form throughout history; Second, these symbols were originally invented only to indicate the movement of consonants; But over time, it was also used as an auxiliary symbol to indicate modal letters. Studies have shown that the use of short gestures as an auxiliary symbol not only has no precise basis but also makes it difficult to read the text.
