7 Qiraat of the Quran | Mufti Abu Layth

all right so let's move on somebody has asked what's your take on the 10 qira'at ok the 10 qira'at are this is something I would actually like to talk about in more detail in one of the coming sessions I'd like to actually dedicate a detailed entire segment to this but I personally find myself with scholars great scholars in the company of great scholars like audiobook orignal Adobe of the past the great Spanish Muslim judge

and Scala and Maliki puppy Maliki scholar who has in fact this book right behind me is is his this book right behind me this is called Alma sarlaac and say commentary on the Matta but his amongst a few others up there as well now so he highlights in one of his books that really these 10 kid are at like this or not this is all you know this is not what people think it is the Quran is

simply just one but the rhythm just allows people to be able to read it in slightly different ways and people have done that and it had that flexibility that's all this thing of the 10 qira'at that people have made or more popularly it's the seven this was actually popular popularized by abnormal Yahud initially who popularizes the seven but there were other people I mean there was people going as far back as you've got [Music] possum you've

got a blow paid who who had highlighted I believe about 20 different Kira at poverty had done a similar thing about 20 odd different kid art you've got other people that have come along that I've highlighted up to fifty even get odd not that many people paid attention to them but they highlighted these now what seems to happen is definitely post Obama Danny in his book arm he has two books on Kara

art in one he doesn't really go into much detail in the other he does he seems to push this that the seven eponymous eponymous eponymous is when something is named after someone so these eponymous Kara art so like I suppose the Malcolm the meth labs are eponymous eponymous in the sense they named after the Imams and that's how we know them today is Maliki Hanafy humbly so these Kira art known as a sin for example known as so the generally you

will you will you will get them as naphtha that's one of the major Kira art you'll have ethnic ethereal have even our mere you'll have a bomb ribbon our Allah in Basra so these are that was in Medina and never fear you have even a cathedral in Makkah you have it now a mere in Damascus above I'm Arab nor Allah in you have him in in Basra then you have this awesome you have in Kufa you have three from

Kufa so you have Hamza and also kiss ie so now these are the the seven eponymous cara art and then you have to people-to-people transmitting from each one of these so it turns into 14 but this became known as the to Rahui cannon okay the the principle or the rule that each that we need two people to transmit from these Ravi so hence people will say like so from NASA you

will have wash and Kowloon for example from so so like that you have different you you get these people who are transmitting from these different para but is this how is that like as in is this just coincidental in a system that Muslims just came up with or was this the divine way now I don't really buy into that this was the divine way or this was the seven out of which Allah revealed you know the Haditha Allah revealed

Quran on 700 first of all that hadith isn't even sahi secondly this is nonsense to say that because it's only within ammaji heed that these seven became popular but otherwise other people had said they were you know many more than seven and hence I believe Jerry highlights the ten he brings the ten but in my understanding I go with people like all the a worker even audibly that look the Quran was written in a certain way that allowed some flexibility the way some people read II

was just you know it was just they each D had and their attempt and the way they were taught or they assumed it may have been any or all of these factors so with some people it was the way they were taught in other people it may have been that they were it was each to her now if so it may be that they are the way a good good analogy is like how you have text message language so imagine now there are no vowels in English and people only write in tech

message language now this the context will make certain things be absolutely clear but there may be certain situations where either word will still make sense so I mean if you obviously text messages are brief but imagine it was a whole book like the way the Quran is so in that sense like let's say somebody wrote WT as what now let's say they also wrote WT as with now you may

say well they'll say you know wth maybe as with but then wth could mean like what the hell so now you would say yes but I would be able to tell by the context now that's fine but they may be a certain point we both actually fit in and they both make sense so it's a bit like that I mean that's a poor analogy I accept that but it's it's an analogy were you I'm giving you some frame of reference so it can make some sense now

that's what it was so people were they have the rhythm of the Quran which allows certain variations now all of this all of this that you have these ten whether it's twenty whether it's twenty five whether it's seven these are all variations of the same one transmission of the Quran these are not the seven okay that people say that's in my understanding that's what people like all the Oh bucket even Elaraby highlight and I find myself in line with that but

I will like to and this is I believe also somebody asked about Javed Hamid eSAB I believe this is also his opinion and this is what he has said oh he said something along these lines maybe not exactly how I just said it but yeah so I hope that makes some sense I will like to in the future give a whole you know dedicate an entire discussion to it but it is complex it is confusing I understand that it's also freaky scares people out I get that as well so I mean I you know it's something that has to be handled tactfully and

comprehensively at the same time cool
