Learn Ten Qirat

In Islam, Qira’at (Arabic: قِراءة‎, lit. ‘recitations or readings’) refers to variants in the recitation of the Quran.

There are ten different recognized schools of qira’at, each one deriving its name from a noted Quran reciter or “reader” (Qari). Each reciter recited to two narrators whose narrations are known as riwaya (transmissions) and named after its primary narrator. Each Rawi (singular of riwaya) has turuq (transmission lines) with more variants created by notable students of the master who recited them and named after the student of the master.

Passed down from Turuq are wujuh: the wajh of so-and-so from the tariq of so-and-so. There are about twenty riwayat and eighty turuq.

Differences between Qira’at are slight and include differences in stops, vowels, and sometimes letters.

Recitation should be in accordance with rules of pronunciation, intonation, and caesuras established by Muhammad and first recorded during the eighth century CE. The maṣḥaf Quran that is in “general use” throughout almost all the Muslim world today, is a 1924 Egyptian edition based on the Qira’at reading of Ḥafṣ (the Rawi, “transmitter”), on the authority of `Asim (the Qari, “reader”).

Each melodic passage centers on a single tone level, but the melodic contour and melodic passages are largely shaped by the reading rules (creating passages of different lengths, whose temporal expansion is defined with caesuras). Skilled readers may read professionally for urban mosques.

Within the qira’at, there are two categories:

Mutawatir: a transmission which has independent chains of authorities so wide as to rule out the possibility of any error and on which there is consensus.

Mashhur: these are slightly less wide in their transmission, but still so wide as to make error highly unlikely.

There are 7 mutawatir qira’at and 3 mashhur ones.

The Mutawatir are:

1. Nafi’ (d. 169/785)
2. Ibn Kathir (d. 120/737)
3. Abu ‘Amr ibn al-‘Ala’ (d. 154/762)
4. Ibn ‘Amir (d. 154/762)
5. ‘Asim (d. 127/744)
6. Hamza (d. 156/772)
7. al-Kisa’i (d. 189/904)

The Mashhur:

1. Abu Ja’far (d. 130/747)
2. Ya’qub (d. 205/820)
3. Khalaf (d. 229/843)

The 10 Qiraat Sughra = “Al-‘Ashara As-Sughra”

( Contoh: “tawassut al-munfaSil” =dibaca 4,5 harakat, melainkan imam Ja’fah dan imam Ya’kub = 2 harakat)
Terdiri daripada: 
Toriq As-Syatibiyyah(7) + Toriq Ad-Durrah(3) = 10 imam Qura’ dan perawi2 mereka.

7 Qiraat = Berpandukan kepada kitab “Hirzu al-amani wa wajhu al-tahani” susunan Imam Syatibi mengandungi 1,173 rangkap syair. (Digelar dengan “Matan As-Syatibiyyah”). Imam Syatibi memilih hanya satu Toriq bagi setiap Riwayat.

3 Qiraat tambahan = dari kitab “Ad-Durrah” oleh Imam Ibn al-Jazari mengandungi 241 rangkap syair ( Digelar dengan “Matan Ad-Durrah”). Matan Ad-Durrah mengikuti acuan matan Syatibiyyah oleh kerana ia sebagai pelengkap bagi 10 Qiraat Sughra. (juga 1 toriq bagi setiap perawi)

The 10 Qiraat kubra = “Al-‘Ashara Al-Kubra”

( Contoh: “qasr al-munfaSil” = 2 harakat)
Toriq An-Nashr  = 10 Qiraat Kubra – terdiri dari 10 imam Qura’ yg sama seperti di atas dan perawi2nya (Tetapi dengan penambahan Toriq2 yg banyak)                                
10 Qiraat = Berpandukan kepada kitab “an-Nasyr Fi al-Qiraat al-`Asyr” susunan Imam Ibn al-Jazari. Kitab ini telah di”matan”kan oleh Ibn al-Jazari, dan dipanggil”Matan Toyyibah an-Nasyr Fi al-Qiraat al-`Asyr” mengandungi 1,015 rangkap syair. (Jangan keliru dengan Matan Al-Jazariyyah, yaitu kitab tentang Tajwid). 

Dikatakan al-kubra kerana ia mengandungi toriq2 yg tak disebut di dalam as-sughra.
