علم قرات کی عصری افادیت اورحروف سبعہ میں نزول قرآن کی حکمتیں: ایک تجزیاتی مطالعہ CONTEMPORARY USES OF QIRAT AND THE WISDOM OF THE QUR'AN IN SEVEN LETTERS: AN ANALYTICAL STUDY

Abstract

The Holy Qur’an is the eternal source of the growth and guidance of humanity which was revealed to the last Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) and he (peace be upon him) explained the Qur’anic sciences based on his position as an interpreter and in the form of the class of Companions. He left an incomparable teacher for the reform and education of humanity. Later scholars further developed these sciences and gave each of them the status of a formal art. Just as the teaching of the meaning and demands of the Holy Quran was the official duty of the Prophet ﷺ, in the same way, reading the Qur'anic verses himself and then informing the Ummah about their manners and practices was also one of the duties of the Prophet . Therefore, where the meanings and demands of the Holy Qur'an are important, the words of the Qur'an are also important and great. For the preservation and protection of the words of the Qur'an, Rasakhin fi-ul-Ilam, the permanent art that the scholars of the Qur'an have compiled is called Ilm al-Qara'at and a sub-discussion of seven letters is of great importance. Like the importance of interpretation, the usefulness of knowledge of reading is unquestionable. If the recitation is not correct, there is a difference in understanding.  Due to different recitations, the difference in meaning is not clear and they cannot be helped in deriving rulings, and it proves to help reject false thoughts. The wisdom of Quranic revelation was highlighted.
