    Tadabbur Journal for Qur'anic Studies
    (2020-11-15) Ali Miqdad Ali
    The Quran was revealed to Muhammad who taught his Ummah in various ways that accommodate people of variant dialects. Thus recitation of Qur'an in different ways which were approved by the Prophet is otherwise known as Qira 'at. These differences do not alter general content of the Qur'an; however, it has some influences in some interpretations which in turn bring different opinions on legislation on some maters. It is on this background that this paper aims to review the influence of Qira'at on jurisprudential rulings. The paper, given its nature, is library based research with extensive literature review. The paper, after the introduction, gives Genesis of Quranic Variant Recitation (4-Qira 'at) and analysis of the Influence of Qur'anic Variant Recitation (Qira 'at) on Juristic Legal Rulings before the conclusion.

    (2018-07-20) An Assessment of Rationale behind Plurality in the Modes of Recitation of the Qur'an
    Science of Qirı ät is one of the sources of Islamic Law (Shar+ ah,. It occupies a place of prominence among all related branches of Uimul-Qurın. Yet, it is one of the most neglected branches of Islamic Studies in Nigeria especially in Yorubaland. This can be attributed to lack of adequate knowledge on the part of large majority of Muslims in regard to the multiplicity of the modes of recitation of the Qur'an and the reason for its preservation. This study traces the origin of Qirã ãt fron the scholars of modes of recitation Aiunatul-Qurrãs to the primary source. Attempt is also made to provide examples of different patterns of the modes of recitation and their meanings. Descriprive and analytical methods are adopted for this research. The study concludes, among others, that llmul-Qiã tät gestures towards the uniqueness of the Quran and recommends adherence to and further exploration of the field.

    Critical Examination of the Concept of Laḥnin Quran Recitation
    (Al-Basirah, 2024-06-12) Ali Miqdad Mosankore; Yahya Shaykh Ahmad
    The recitation of the Quran forms a cardinal pillar in the daily obligatory religious duties of Muslims for spiritual upliftment. Recitation of the Quran in Prophetic manner is of great importance since emulation of the Prophet constituted an act of worship. It was however astonishing that many Muslims were unaware that it was a binding obligation to recite the Quran in accordance with the laid down rules governing it. In the contemporary society, there was wide spread cross recitation, such as mixing one version of classical recitation with another and mispronunciation of Arabic letters while reading which may alter the intended meaning. Thus, the objective of this paper was to analyze the conceptual meaning of Laḥn which was usually committed by some Quran reciters, and call the attention of the reciters to proper mastery of the science of recitation of the Quran for good recitation and understanding. Historical and phenomenological methods of research were adopted in this research. The paper revealed that the common errors in the recitation of the Quran included misapplication of the articulation of Arabic letters, and the rules guiding it among others. The paper concluded by advocating for the practical learning of application of Tajwīd, in order to avoid these common errors.
