Seven Readers
The Seven readers () are seven Qāriʾs who mastered the Qira'at and historically transmitted the Quran recitations in an approved and confirmed manner. Presentation The ''seven readers'' are the most famous Qāriʾs (reciters) from whom the reading of the Quran has been transmitted, so that the reading of the words differed in some of the resources of the Quranic verses. They belong to the third class of recitation (). History There are ten recitations following different schools of qira'ates, each one deriving its name from a noted Quran reciter called ''qāriʾ''. These ''ten qira'ates'' are issued from the original seven which are confirmed (mutawatir) () by these seven Quran readers who lived in the second and third century of Islam. It is the scholar Abu Bakr Ibn Mujāhid, who lived in the fourth century of Islam, who first approved of these seven ''qira'at'', so that the actual versions of Quran readings transmitted to us are part of the system of ''qira'at'' consisti ...

Ten Recitations
The ten recitations or ten readings are ten Qira'ats and recitations of the Quran approved by scholars in their research to determine the frequent recitations. History The Quran was revealed in seven '' ahruf'' or letters, and the letters are not only in writing but also in pronunciation, meaning, vowel, endowment signs, and brevity due to the different accents and dialects of the Arabs who recited the Qu'ran. The Qu'ran was only revealed to the Prophet Muhammad, but his companions included a diverse population of Arabic speakers, and thus, differences in recitations arose. Uthman ibn Affan compiled the ''Quran'' in one formation, and there are seven fixed recitations and three complementary readings of the seven, so the ten readings are completed, and all these readings and their pronouncements were reported by Muhammad and were transmitted by the Sahaba, the Tabi'un, and so on. Spread Most of these ten recitations are known by the scholars and people who have received them, ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Ahruf
According to Islamic tradition, the Quran was revealed to the Islamic prophet Muhammad by the angel Gabriel (''Jibrail''). The seven reading variants (, singular: ''ḥarf''), translated as "styles", "ways", "forms" and "modes",Abu Ameenah Bilal Philips, ''Tafseer Soorah Al-Hujuraat'', 1990, Tawheed Publications, Riyadh, pp. 29–30. are said to have been taught by Michael. Islamic scholars agree that the ahruf were styles used by the early Muslims to recite the Quran. The Islamic Caliph Uthman compiled the Quran using one of the ahruf during the 7th century, and the other ahruf fell out of use. The ahruf are distinct from the qira'at, which are methods of pronouncing the Quran that also go back to Muhammad according to the Hadith. Etymology The word ''aḥruf'' is the plural of paucity of the Arabic word ''ḥarf'', which has multiple meanings.Dutton 2012, p. 22.
