[Uloom Al-Qur'an] The Qira'at and The Ahruf

[Mohsin]

There are 4 benefits which show the Wisdom of Allah revealing the Qur'an in seven ahruf:

1. To facilitate the memorization of the Qur'an. The arabs did not all speak arabic in the same way. The ahruf eased the memorization and was significant in the preservation of the Qur'an.

2. To prove the miraculous nature of the Qur'an. For despite all the differences, the meaning of the Ahruf did not contradict one another, but rather were complimentary.

3. To prove the truthfulness of the Prophet Muhammad saws, for despite the fact that he was illiterate, the revelation of the Qur'an occured in different tribal dialects and different words, all of which consisted of the most fluent and eloquent speech of his time.

4. To honour the ummah of the Prophet Muhammad saws and show its superiority over all other nations.

Jk khair for this bro, i always wondered on the wisdom behind this, subhanallah never thought of it as a miracle such that it was fluent in all dialects, so Muhammed PBUH definitely could not have written it then

barakallahu feek habeebi kareem Ansaar
that was excellent.

Yes Abu Amr Qaadhi's work is the best.

Dont forget Bilaal phillips did something, not as detailed as his, but ialso explains the ahruf wal qiraat.

as for what everybody resites, everyone here, usually recites in hafs form.

however everyone here must know that without proper ijazaat form an official established reciter, the style that you even imitate is not that style until you get the ijaazah for it. That is because everyone who just reads the mushaaf and goes off of that alone is not reciting 100 percent properly doto the importance of tajweed either by not giving enough stress to each vowelizations of each letter etc.

Even the one that Saudi prints with the different colers to tell the reciter the length of each letter being pronounced is under hafs form.

I dont think there is another quraan like this in the other forms, which means to recite it, you must se a shaykh of that form

I know an Imam here who knows both Hafs form and warsh form with its ijazaah. His warsh is, well the best way to describe it is "subhanallah"

asalamu alaikum

 

[ahm001]

in morroco quraans are available commenly in warsh form and in libya qaloon

 

[Abdullah4ever]

Insha'allah my teacher said after i finish the quran he will teach me different styles to read.

Masha'allah!! Jazakallah Alf Khair for that Brother, All of them were really beautiful but yes, the Khalaf recitation is really really nice, different, love it.

Also loved the one where he ran all of the verses together, I think it was the seventh? wonder which style is that...

 

[Umar001]

Yea the one all together, boy that is nice. Surah Najm is amazing, he stopps so nicely he's like 'shay===an===' and then carries on its so amazing.

Wa Alykom Asalam

Very informative, jazakAllah khair for sharing.


Can someone fix this typo please?

They say that when Uthman rd was compiling the Qur'an, he had Zaib ibn Thabit record it without the vowelation and consonants to accomodate the different Ahruf.

The name is Zaid not Zaib.
