Salam Alaikum Warahmatullahi Wabarakatuh My dear brothers and
sisters, our dear friends and listeners
on our journey through the sciences of the Quran we've
reached day 18 or less than 18 we will begin in sha Allah with a bit
of the Quran or all the will him in a shape on your Ragini

Baraka was a limiter Sleeman. girthier on laomi Deen Amar bad So
firstly, yesterday, we had a deeper discussion regarding the
seventh hour of or the seventh styles of the Quran, the seven
modes of the Quran, however you want to translate that, and we had
the two. As I said, there's various opinions up to 35 or so
different opinions, but the two main ones that you can summarize
it into, right, I'll just mention them again, because yesterday we
spoke about quite a few things just to get us back on track here.
There are two main opinions about this. You can say the main ones,
which many orlimar today have accepted either one way or the
other. So the one view which is which was promoted by Imam tombery
and he's mashallah very confidently, very boldly discussed
it in the Mocha Dima and the introduction to his stuff, CN n is
a very influential professor. So that's why many many scholars have
actually accepted a che acknowledged the nature of current
days and
number of other scholars that essentially the seven hour of were
the seven dialects or seven styles of reading of the different
tribes. And since there was no longer any need of that,
eventually, people came on to the style of the Quraysh and they just
started reading according to the Qureshi dialect. So now there's
that they've pretty much most of them have been lost or they've all
been lost. Right? That's that is an opinion that is probably very,
very widespread many, many current day. contemporary authors as well
who've written aluminum Quran subjects, that is what they've
taken. The other view, which is actually also a very strong view.
And I know that from the contemporary scholars, Mufti Taqi
Usmani and a number of others, they also really promote that
view, right? Which is that these are actually the one on the same
thing. So the seven Kyra art today that we have the seven module
reading that is still mashallah very relevant and prevalent. And
people study them, I've studied them as well, to a certain degree,
and they're taught and so on, then these two are very, you know,
these two are really just about the same thing. Except that
initially, there was a lot more ways of reading that the province
was taught, but eventually it came down into around the seven
different categories or so of styles of reading now, saying that
they're both the same. So today our discussion is going to be on
the Kerala art, right. Today, our discussion is actually on the Kira
art on the seventh
existing ways of reading, which are supposed to be according to
even the first opinion, it's according to the Qureshi dialect.
So it all comes under one half for group one anyway. And for group
two, that represents the seventh hour of so everybody's agreed that
you can read in the seven particular ways as long as it's
been transmitted. So that's the point of convergence here that
everybody agrees from both of these opinions, the holders of
both of these opinions, they agree that the various ways of reading
that we have today 710, Tierra, etc. They are absolutely allowed.
That is the way the Quran, just the first group would say that
that represents the Qureshi. garat, whereas the second group
will say, not necessarily, and it represents the seven out of so at
least we have an agreement as to what we have today. And that's the
most important thing because the history of exactly what happened
in the early period. There's nothing directly and specifically
mentioned about it, except that we know that there was seven arrow so
are they the same as seven k-rod? Or are they two separate different
things? That's where the difference of opinion is, but
everybody agrees on the 710, Kira, etc. So
Let us now just quickly go through and give you an example of how
these garat what they look like I gave you some exact examples when
I read through to Fatiha for you, using the different styles that I
mentioned insert will fattier, but insert will fatty had the maximum
there's not seven different ways of reading any aspect of cerebral
Fatiha, right. Its maximum is three, Sirat Sirat so solid and
seen Anna Ziraat. And then are they him? Are they home and Allah
He knew. Likewise, Maliki and Maliki just two ways in that. So I
don't know if that I can't think of the example of any particular
place where there's up to seven different styles, it's generally a
combination, that would, that's what happens that if somebody is
reading one variant here, they'll read another variant here, whereas
the second copy may read the other variant here and other variant
here. So it's the it's hardly going to be the case where you got
one word that they read seven different ways, there may be very
few of those kinds of instances. But anyway,
I'll just give you an from this, you'll understand the kinds of
differences which are found, those who studied the Quran, this is
what they read, this is the differences they find the first of
the differences is essentially
with regards to the nouns etc. So you've got a noun. So in some
karats, you're going to in some recitations, you're going to get
the singular word that's used, right, in some, you're going to
get the dual word that's used. In some cases, you're going to get
the plural used. In other cases, you're going to get maybe what
they call the mobila, the exaggerated form that's used, I'll
give you a simple example of that. We're living in a homeless man at
him we're at the hem raw rune.
We're living humbly Amma naughty him that's used in the plural as
we normally read it, that those who
are considerate of the trusts and the covenants.
Another version of that is written read in another Cara, it's read in
the singular Well, leadin humbly, Amma naughty him. So there's a
difference between Amana and Amma naughty him. But at the end of the
day, the meaning is exactly the same. Because in this context, it
will mean the same thing because the rest of it is plural. So that
singular in there will be incorporated in the end will still
mean the absolutely same. That's why I said that in most of these
cases, the meaning is absolutely the same. In some cases, the
meaning is different, but they're complementary meanings. None of
them are contradictory means you'll never find in here, the two
eyes, you know, to Kira that have contradictory meanings. Yeah, they
may say two different things, but then that just means that they're
both part of the Quran, right? They're both part of the Quran and
they just complementary meanings, right. The second type of
difference that you will find in the karate, etc, is regarding more
the verb the verbs. The first one is more about the nouns. This is
more about the verbs, for example, you may get a change from the
past, to the present or the future, okay? Or you may also get
from the passive noun to the active now, like I gave an example
yesterday, when we're not sure who the Allah Wyoming national at the
Allah, the day we will gather this enemies of Allah, whereas the
passive we're reading that is where I'm gonna use Chateau de la
he. So the change will be on your shadow, a natural but because of
that the noun after the verb will also change because it's affected
by the verb.
Right. Another example is called Lou Robina bar it been us Virgina.
They said that our Lord creates a distance in our in our journey. So
instead of buried Venus far enough, they've read it in Rob
buena back either, but rather, instead of by its birder, it's a
similar verb, but just in another tense of it. The third type of
difference you will generally find in Akira art is the actual
volleying of it, right the voting of it, and that could be for
different reasons. Now, remember, when any of these changes are
taking place, there's a few conditions they have to meet.
Number one, they have to
align with Arabic language laws, right? So
they wouldn't agree with a variant that they must have heard somebody
reading that didn't align with grammar laws, right? Because Quran
is Arabic, it's pure Arabic. There's no way that you could
accept something as Quran that is not Arabic. That is against Arabic
law, right Arabic grammar law. Number two, it has to be in
accordance with the most half, you know, in the way the most half
Israel
Send today. So just remind me I'll give you one example of that a bit
later. Right? So, Samantha the Allahu Anhu. Had this must have
written in a way that incorporates all the different possibilities,
right of these of maybe the seven out of according to one opinion or
the seven karada according to the other opinion but definitely the
seven care article into both opinions. So for example, you know
when you've got well at the normally Amana T him, what are the
humor our own? There's an easy way of changing that's really a minor
theme. That's why you have silent letters, right? The LF will just
be made into a silent letter. In many cases, you actually don't
have an Elif, right? You actually don't have anything. In fact, what
I'm going to suggest you do is I want you to take a copy of the
Quran, right whichever style you've got whether you've got the
subcontinent style or the medina style, you will actually see on
the first page so little Fatiha, you will see that Maddie Kiyomi
Dean, as we all read it, most of us read it as Madikeri unless
you've got some Moroccans there. Right? You will see that it's
actually written just with a meme lamb and a calf. Right. Now, I
don't know if you guys can see this. But I've just taken the
first Koran the first Messiah have. And here you'll see here,
right? You've got Maliki
is a is read is written
with no Elif next to it. And if you can see that, is that showing?
Yeah,
that meme, it's got a standing Fatah. Now, out of the seven
Imams of Kerala. Four of them read Maliki unity.
And three of them read Maliki but the one that we read is Maliki
that's why they've got the standing for Tada. But if it was
agreed upon that it would be Maliki
with an Elif then it would have been written as meme. Elif ma
Leakey, but because there is no agreement in that, and they were,
both are allowed. So that's why it's written meme lamb calf, and
to make it my you just add the standing fatter than the long mud.
That's all you do. Right? So
that it has to accord with the, with the way the Quran is reading.
Right with. That's why solid Salawat you know, the way Salah is
written in the Quran is written as a solid lamb. Wow, ta. In most
cases, the way we read it, the WoW is empty, sorry, the world is
silent. But those who read it Salawat Salawat, they would easily
be able to now read it because the writing the world allows for it.
And when we read it, we take, we just say the voice while we
silent. So it's a automatic the Alolan had this written in this
amazing way that incorporates all of these Gorod can be allowed. So
people can't come up with some random Quran and say that this is
what it is where it does not fit according to Arabic, and it
doesn't fit according to this and number three, which we'll look at
in a bit more detail, I don't want to spoil it now. There's one other
condition which is that it must be related and transmitted
authentically and in contiguously and with tomato from the Prophet
salallahu Alaihe Salam up to the Sahaba you know from the Prophet
salallahu Alaihe Salam. Anyway, so I told you about two different
time the first one was known issues. A noun differences. Second
one was verb differences. The third one to do with the vowel
link, right, which is whether it's on a vowel, whether it's on a verb
or a noun, what are you or raka T Boone Walla Shaheed wala Eudora,
Kathy watershed, neither the scribe and neither the witness
should be harmed in any way. While you Dora can also be written read
as well are you Dora rue? Kathy Beaumarchais. There's two ways of
reading that likewise, this one you will know, though LaRochelle
Majeed now how do you read the word Majeed the outer shell Maji
do although outer shell Majidi again it will have a slight
difference in the meaning but they both complimentary The fourth type
of difference is where something has been added, or something has
been removed and omitted, but again the meaning will be very
similar. For example, Allah subhanho wa Taala says, One Holika
dekora Will author that in another Kira is read as well what was that
Cara will own the instead of warmer Holika the corona and that
which Allah subhanaw taala created as the masculine feminine that
that which he created is out is just what the carbonara and the
masculine the feminine. Again, it's a complementary meaning
there's no no major change in that. Number five is ordering
changing the order. Right. So fire co Toluna whether you call it
alone, that's been read in another garage for Yokota Luna worked for
Yokota Luna wire cutter loon instead of fiach to Luna where you
act alone is read as for you
Aluna work to loon. So yes. So for Dr. Luna when you act alone,
instead of that it's for you Dr. Luna waktu Loon, that's what it
is. Yes. Then there's another one, which sacral Moti will help that's
been read as wotja at sacral hockeyville mouth.
slight variation in the meaning as well but complementary number
seven,
an absolute word change, a replacement of another word, but
very again similar meaning well or ill Eva mica if I know she's from
Morocco to LACMA instead of K for noon Shiza. It's been read as non
shuru Ha, ha, we spread it instead of noon she's Zhuhai nun shuru Ha,
again, very similar complimentary meanings. And number seven is the
dialect aspect. Right and you find that a lot. For example, the
dialect aspect that it takes into consideration the various
different Arab dialects so this is kind of the one point in here that
seems to match up with the other side as well. But again, everybody
agrees with this. It's like * Dhaka Hadith to Musa has the
account of Musa alayhis salam come to you have a darker Hadith or
Musa that's been read as * attack Hadith al Musa. So one is
as the normal reading is a whole other Hadith Musa now change that
to * attacca Hadith to Musa so it's our n
and then there's a third way which is significantly difference which
is called imala Cobra which is an absolute inclination * Attica
Hadith como se
and you'll you'll hear the wash people reading that Attica Hadith
como se even you know when in the in the lectures and they're
quoting a verse of the Quran that's exactly what they read. So
it's it's really interesting
what do her What do hair, what do hair so different styles of
reading and so
that should give you a better idea now of that. So what we do now is
let's move into the Pirata and understand that better inshallah
we can discuss that today and complete it otherwise we'll have
to move it on to tomorrow again. The word Kira, I explained to you
that roof the word Kira comes from the concept of Cora, which we
described earlier from Quran it means to gather and now to read.
So Kara means that which is you know, the concept of reading to
read essentially.
However, what's important for us is to understand its technical
definition and the technical definition of Kerala in line with
the science of Kerala is located at Edelman vacay fear the other
equally Mattila Khurana if tilapia be as we know, killer, there's
various ways that this definition has been mentioned pretty much
means the same thing that Akira art or the science of the various
different modes of pronouncing the wording of the Quran. And there
are differences
based on
the you can say based on transmission, right, as
transmitted through authentic sources. So the Quran is the
science the elemental Kira is the science of the various different
modes of pronounciating pronounciating vocalizing
articulating the various different words of the Quran and the
differences between them
as transmitted, right as authentically transmitted.
La ilaha illa Allah, so based on the Kennametal Quran, it means
every single word of the Quran, right? But again, there's some
words which are agreed upon this, no difference about it, right? For
example, with Allah, there's going to be no difference about that.
But
pretty much every verse in the Quran, how that should be read in
a particular Cara.
In fact, it doesn't just incorporate the wording of that it
also incorporates where you should stop. And whether there should be
a pause, like a sector, for example.
Or you were
a human Leandre there's a slight pause there, right? A sector, you
see them in the Quran, which is a slight pause, you don't break your
breath, but you just stop your sound. So all of that is part of
the Quran as well. Right? So in some
in some carrots, they actually do that more often than what we're
used to. They do that
in many, many
He cases like Anna, they will actually stop and break the sound
and then the character everywhere there's a Hamza after the lamb
sukoon. Neely, right.
So that's in another character. Now what's really important in
here is that this is not random. So, that last point in the
definition which was that as long as it is transmitted is that this
science is only known through you know more than so many others I
mean more.
For example,
the ways of reading this is not something you can work out by
logic meaning you could probably use logic to to try to create new
ways of reading when they're going to be completely disregarded and
rejected and denied
when it so when it comes to elemental Cara there's probably
the strictest subjects in terms of taking from another person you
could read hundreds of books on Kyra read all the main books, but
you it would not be accepted if you've not studied it with
somebody and learned more shafa Hutton literally learn face to
face from you can say lips to lips, from mouth to mouth, that's
how important it is. That otherwise if it wasn't for that
we'd have hundreds of Carroz the fact that we've only got 10 Kira
art that just shows you 10 main Kira, then you've got others,
which you'll understand better when I carry on. That goes to
explain how strict they were in determining the only ways of
reading this. Now the mockery, the car, the mockery is essentially
the one is going to be the title given to the person who's a
scholar of Gorod of the science, right.
He's the one who's actually studied it with another teacher
who studied with another teacher who went and it carries on up to
the Sahaba and then the tabby in the Sahaba den the Prophet
sallallahu alayhi salam, and he from Djibouti la de salaam, and he
from ALLAH SubhanA wa Tada. So that's the beauty of this, my
chain that I have goes up to the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa
sallam in I've got two chains. So one goes up with 30 people, and
the other goes up with 31, if I remember correctly, right, which
is both for heads of the Quran, and for the karate.
So anyway, if somebody studies like one of the main books of the
science of karate called a desi, or the Sharpie or any others, it
will make a difference, right? You have to study with a teacher.
Because this is such a rigid, very specific, very specific and very
fine tuned subject that doesn't allow for any kind of doubt or
error. They have, they stipulated seven several different
conditions, in terms of, you know, what gear or they would accept.
And for that I explained to you that the camera must be according
to the laws of arabic number two, right? It has to conform to the
most half, right, the way it's written, and I've given you the
best example of that is that Maliki army Dean, and many Kiyomi
Dean, okay, it has to conform to that.
And
a number that's why today we're not allowed. Like, for example,
the word Salaat in classical Arabic is written as sod, lamb, a
silent Wow. And then a small TA.
Now in modern Arabic, we write it as sod, lamb, Elif da, we don't
use the silent Well, we actually just use the Elif if somebody
wanted to change all the salad. And likewise, Zakat is written in
the same way with a Wow, a silent Wow. Right? If somebody wanted to
say, you know, this is maybe causing confusion, or whatever,
people are asking questions, why there's a while there, whatever,
let me just write it in the modern style, they would not be allowed
to do that. Because there's an agreement that you need to keep
writing the Quran, according to either Earth manatee alone wrote
it, okay, except that he didn't have dots or whatever that's been
added to facilitate, but you can't change the script. Because the way
he has the script, originally composed, it allows for all of
these characters to be read. Right. And in fact, it's a
condition that the Quran that whatever you really must conform
to what's written in an inscribed in the Quran, if you change it,
it's going to be really problem. And the third condition, which is
the most important one, is that your chain must be absolutely 100%
reliability and authenticated, that's why you can't have any. Now
based on that, what happened is, you had there were many, many
Sahaba, who took from the Prophet sallallahu some from the various
tribes, etc, right? And they would then read the Quran accordingly,
which I described to yesterday, they would then teach others
because they were the Prophet Solomon had said that you need to
convey from me even if one verse so they would convey now remember
the process I was taught to different karate, different
styles, okay. Now, if we go with that wider aspect of the meaning,
which is that the seven Cara today
represent the seventh error of, then that makes it very easy. And
it's seems like maybe a more a less less problematic opinion.
There are objections to both opinions, but let's just go with
that for now. That means, slowly, slowly, if the progress or some
taught 100,000 people, you know, there's going to be maybe, you
know, 10 times that number of people that eat, you know, that
people would have taught, so it carried on like that. Now, in some
of those, there may have been some mistakes that were, what do you
call it developed, you know, somebody learned something
incorrectly from his teacher, somebody remembered something
differently.
So now, what happened is, there's people in an entire area that were
taught by a certain, you know, sahabi, or a certain Derby, or a
certain success, or of the successes, the entire people were
reading it. So
that is going to spread like that, right.
So what they did was
some scholars decided that there's just so many different variants of
readings, which all conformed, you know, which were all supposed to
conform to the most half of money, which the most of Osmania was
actually written to do to unify all Akira ads, right? And these
were all the allowed ones that were written, everybody knew this.
Now, there was some scholars who decided that, you know, we need to
compile all of these together. And we need to
make sure that we only take those that we can, that can demonstrate
absolute proof, and can meet the three conditions.
Right, so now what happened is
you had a person whose name was Imam Ahmed, even though Musa
Igneel Abbas, but more well known as YBNL Mujahid, I, kind of
alluded to him yesterday as well, who died in 324, Hijiri.
He really set out to put all of these together. So he probably
traveled to different areas, or whatever it was, and whatever he
whatever he learned of the different forms of reading, and he
compiled them together. In his book called elk era to suburb, he
managed to find seven different crops like that. Right, that's the
number he found. Okay, that's the different variants that he found.
So he put them in a book called Akira to sever the seven Kira art.
And mashallah, because it was one of the pioneering works of this
subject. It just mashallah took off. Everybody started to consult
it, to study it studied with him, and so on and so forth.
Now, what he did, was that he based his study, and he, he based
it obviously, on all of those conditions, he managed to
scrutinize all the raw data he found in the different areas,
different people reading, according to those criteria, and
he determined that there were seven, which were absolutely
authentic, flawless, we can definitely vouch that these must
have been from the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam. And
again, the differences between them, I've just explained to you
already the types of differences that most of the time there's no
meaning difference, and if there is, then they're both considered
to be quantum because they're both complimentary, you're never going
to have within a seven carat any time where there's a contradiction
between them where one is saying, Do this and I'm saying don't do
that. It's just not going to happen. So all of these are Quran,
right? If there is a complementary meanings and two separate wording
to explain two separate meanings and say they both Quran that's
what the Prophet says, I'm taught this and taught that. Okay, so the
seventh that he found to be the most reliable, reliable, and
authenticated and absolutely proven, and that fulfill all the
criteria were the following seven. Okay. They were the Kira of
Abdullah Abu cathedra. A dari al McKee, so he's from Makkah.
Makara, who died in 120. He's a tabby. Then number two Abdullah
ignore amirali Asobi a Shami, generally referred to as Xiaomi.
Ignore me. He died in 118 Hijiri. Then the third one he found was
asked him if not been nujood, I said the alcovy so this is ASIMO
goofy Rahima hula. This is probably the most popular camera
in the world today. Okay. This is the most popular camera in the
world today. He died in 127 years from Kufa many of them were from
goof actually, right. Then the number four was Abu Ammar zubeen
Abdul Allah Al Basri, who died in 154 Hijiri.
Number five the famous Hamza Abner Habib as the yard al kofi, another
cufon scholar who came after who was after us him. Rahim Allah He
died in 156 surgery. Then you had the
nerf it, even the Abderrahman enough, Abdurrahman will be no I'm
Al Madani. So he's from Madina Munawwara he died in 169 Hijiri.
And the seventh one that he took was a bull has an ID YBNL Hamza al
Kisa. A
reason he was called ki Sai. And now he so he's the Navi the
grammarian, as well, reasons called keys I think he did once
had in a in a sheet. Right. So Kisa is a sheet. He's also Koofi,
he died, he so he comes after the other two from couva 189 Hijiri.
So they took this a he found these to be the absolute most and then
that just flew that, you know, he'd done a job for everybody
mashallah, that obviously, people in the different areas kept
reading that karats why are these Imams mentioned? How, what, why,
why are these Imams mentioned. And if these Khorat were widespread in
different areas? Well, because they were the foremost scholars of
Kira of their time in those particular areas. So that's why
it's attributed to them otherwise, it didn't make it up. It's just
that they were one of the main transmitters of this, right, these
were big scholars of Quran and sometimes of grammar, and of
Arabic language and everything else. They were the foremost
person, right of that particular area who were responsible for
maintaining that camera and for transmitting it. That's why they
mentioned otherwise, obviously, they had teachers iblue Kathy, he
is going to have studied with another teacher, another teacher,
but they became most prominent, and that was added to Abraham
Bucha his book and martial law that was then became kind of set
in stone. I think nobody has any disregard for them. However, the
work was not completed. Because the absolutely verified karate one
not just was not just restricted to the seven. You see, this is
what's confused a lot of people that are these the seven Arraf.
Right? Are these the seven arrows?
So that's why No, because there's actually more than seven carats.
So people are there's other scholars who continue to do the
work to try to figure out if there were any other authentic because
there were lots of karate people, not lots, but there were others
that people reading but they wanted to scrutinize later on.
There were three others that were added to this list, right, which
makes them 10. And they all equal, you know, they're all supposed to
be equal because they all have mashallah the one very valuable
aspect which is that they all mutawatir which means that they
all been transmitted in a widespread fashion. And the
additional three that they added were that of Abuja for ESC. Dibner
kaka al Madani service Abuja, Afro Madani who died in 130 Hijiri.
Number nine Jacobina is Hoggle hada Rami. So he's from Hadramaut,
which means in Yemen, he died in 205. So he's the latest of the lot
so far. So they generally, generally when you see his guy who
says yeah, cool. And then you have heard of Abraham, right? He's the
last of them, heard of humanization was a very
interesting reciter, very interesting teacher of karate, he
died in 229, Eg so he is the latest. So these are the 10
characters, which are considered to be authenticated today. But
again, remember, this does not mean that we have 10 variants for
every single word. So the idea is that if some read medica here,
they'll read it to him. And there could be differences in that.
Generally, as I said, the differences you'll actually find
is about two or three differences, Ibrahim, Abraham, Jabra, eel,
Jabra, eel, Jibreel, etc, is not that much of a difference that you
will find. And some will pick this one here. And that one, the others
will say okay, I'll pick this one here and the other one here. So
that's kind of the difference that you know that has been transmitted
to them. Now, I'm just going to go through
the when you when the scholar scrutinized the various different
modes of reading that were prevalent, the styles of reading
that were prevalent in the Muslim world, they looked at
it being according to the Arabic grammar and so on number two,
according to the Mustafa Earthman with the Allah one, and number
three, that there was an absolute verified chain. If there was a
problem with any of these things, it would drop. So there are six
categories of this in terms of the Corrado out there and if you then
scrutinize them just like in Hadith studies, you scrutinized
and you say okay, this hadith is sorry, this hadith is Hasson this
hadith is dive. Then you've got even small categories in between
Hassan lady has an intrinsically Sahai and extrinsically Sahai
intrinsically sound, extrinsically sound, then you've got the very,
very weak, then you've got the fabricated and so on and so forth.
Alright. Likewise, in kiraz, you have six categories. The first one
is almost Awatere that absolutely verified, widespread, continuous
narration, huge groups were said to have transmitted this down,
that there's absolutely no possibility that this can be a
mistake. That's the first category
theory. I mean, there's no doubt about that category. The second
category, which is similar to this category is what they call mass
shooter.
And the only difference here, right, the only difference here is
that it has no apparent readings or any of that it's very similar
to the mortality, but it just doesn't have that same widespread
abundant number. But it's large enough for it to be considered to
be well known, and prolific. But there's still a slight difference.
So the main difference between those two is the difference in
just the abundant number in that one, it's millions or whatever.
And in this one, it's just less than that. Those are the two. The
third one are called the our HUD now that I heard is,
again, it's sound sign, sorry, it sounds fine from a Arabic
perspective, and from the most half perspective, etc. But it just
doesn't have that kind of widespread acceptance. Very few
people, it doesn't have a widespread acceptance is very few
people transmitted.
Right? Now that's not good enough. That's not good enough. Right? You
see, when it comes to Hadith works, a narration like that,
where there's only a few people have transitioned from the
beginning to as long as they're all authentic, you're still going
to accept that hadith and it will be used for certain aspects, we
can use it. In fact, many of our Messiah are based on some of these
narrations. However, when it comes to Kira, they didn't accept these,
they were called Aha, they didn't reject them outright, but they
cannot be read as the Quran at all. Right. And some actually
rejected them outright as well. Number four is
actually no.
Yeah, they did not consider these to be to be accepted. And I'll
carry on and I'll explain. Number four is the shove, right the
shove, these are
either way the the chain is problematic, right the person was
transmitting from there's some problem in there, the uprightness
the integrity is in question. There's a doubt about whether they
actually met one another or not, and so on and so forth.
And, you know, even if it's according to the Arabic language,
even if it's going to the grammar, even if it's according to the most
half reading doesn't make a difference, right? Because the
chain is problematic. There's some doubt in there. They call this
shove shove means a parent isolated. One example of that is
there's a Kyra which nobody, you know, which is a has been
considered shove, it's instead of Marley Kiyomi Dean, Maliki is a
noun, the sovereign of the Day of Judgment, Malik the king of the
same meaning Malik and Malik means same. Malik just means owner.
Malik means sovereign, similar and sovereign is an owner generally of
every of whatever they have anyway. So
there's a camera which is being transmitted in the weak chain,
which has read it as a verb. Now, it's according to the writing,
because just as maloca it's Melaka yo med Dean, who will control the
Day of Judgment. So it's a verbal meaning Melaka who will control
it? Al hamdu Lillahi Rabbil Alameen Rahman Rahim, Maliki Ahmed
in Malacca, yo, Medina, actually, I'm not even allowed to read that.
Because that's chef, right? The very particularly you don't want
to mess with, you know, you don't want to cause any confusion,
confusion with the Quran. The fifth one is the outright reject
and fabricate has been proven, it's fabricated. It's not just
problematic. It's not just doubtful. It's actually very
problematic. It's fabricated. They just rejected that outright. So
what's the sixth one? What else do you have to go with? What else is
what else is left them? Well, the sixth one is actually
explanatory. Reading. So
sometimes some of the Sahaba or the tabby in when they're reading,
they may add in a few words as explanation, not intending them to
be the Quran, but just as an explanation clarification. Now, if
that has been transmitted down, or whether the Sahaba did it, or
somebody else did it again, those were just seen as explanations.
They cannot be incorporated as a Quran reading for example, what
Kana Wallah you know in the story of Musa alayhis salam in Surah Al
calf, Allah says what gannawarra Whom medically who do co lesufi
nuttin WASPA wacana whare whom medically who do co lesufi Nothin
Vasa and behind them remember they got onto that boat or ship with
Musa Ali Salam so behind them was a tyrant king who would confiscate
and just seize all you know vessels so it just says that
that's all it says in in the Quran. However,
in one of these
explanatory Quran it says, yet who do cola Safina tin saw the hatin?
WASPA they would only he would only take all of the nice sound
vessels, not the Dibella not the damaged ones.
Now that's clearly not from the Quran. But that has been
transmitted that's beyond the 10 karats. Okay, so that's not
accepted as well. So it's only the first two that have been accepted
as Quran so that you know, the 10 Quran that we just described you
that the orlimar have gathered together the seven plus the three,
they either going to be mutawatir, or mature, they're going to be of
the first two categories, they're not going to be so there are
others, which are of the other categories, but they've not been
allowed. And you're not allowed to recite them in the, in the solid
either. You're only allowed to read rid of those first two
categories, which are represented by the 10 carat as we know them
today.
So I hope that has given you a decent understanding of the karate
at least, and some understanding of how that corresponds with the
seventh, with the seventh out of as I said to you, again, some say
these are both the same thing, these 10 carat, they actually
represent the seven of the seven various ways of reading, right? So
these are just the different collections of that. And others
say that No, those are the dialects of language of the
various different Arab tribes. And these are something so everybody
agrees with these 10 Key rods, there is no doubt about that this
is agreed upon, right. It's just whether it is the same as
somebody's roof or not, is the question, which is not a big deal,
right? Now remember, all of these carrots, these 10 that we're
talking about? The they have to have a chain, right, that's very
important otherwise, today, there would have been 1000s of Kira
various when you can read it how you like they would have said, but
no, it's very particular. Right? That it has to be read like that.
And these shaft karats right, the chef gira those which are
considered to be isolated even though they conform to the laws of
the Arabic language and so on. Yeah, I think I think I think I've
I've discussed that. Now, all of these 10 character art, they all
contribute to the eloquence none of them, you know, would cause any
kind of problem with the very special incredible style of the
Quran. They all fit within all of that. Mashallah, now in terms of
which of the 10 Cara that we read, so, each of these 10 parties, they
had two main students, and sometimes there's actually a
difference between the students as well. So that's why
you have
Imam Walsh, who has to say, sorry, you have Imam Nafi, who has two
students, okay? Kowloon and wash, and they would have a difference
in the way they read it, they would have a difference in the way
they read as well. So when we say 10, it's kind of broadly speaking,
otherwise, it actually breaks down into further different types of
reading as well. But again, they all of those same seven categories
of differences that I mentioned earlier anyway, okay. Now, in
terms of which karate is read, well, I would say that the
majority of the world go, according to our sim Rahima, hula,
through his student Huff's, Imam halfs. He had two students, and
this Imam Huff's is one which, for whatever reason, has read
literally proliferated around the world. I think it's mainly only in
North Africa, and West Africa, where there's other Kira that you
find so for example, in Morocco, you will find there most have a
generally written according to Nafi his camera not according to
the watch, get worse camera. And I've seen people when they first
see they're saying what's going on here, I think the way they write
it is the file is written with a dot underneath that is even a
different script in the way they write it. So be like, Hey, this is
a mistake. What kind of Quran is this? I've never seen another
Quran. So we're just opening everybody's eyes today that if you
do see it, and it's coming from a reputable place, then you know,
maybe it's just another reading of the Quran. You know, I heard like,
Hey, this is a mistake. No brother, this is a different type
of Mussaf. Right, have another reading. So generally in Morocco,
you'll find Imam Nafees Cara, in Tunisia, you will find cartoons,
Kowloon is actually
Imam Laffitte student, right? So Kowloon in Tunisia and in Algeria.
It's wash. Right who's also you know, a Narita a transmitter, the
second down after Norfolk and in Somalia, you have Abu Ammar al
bursaries, transmission there, Abu Amaryl buses, otherwise the world
over Saudi Arabia, Indian subcontinent, Syria, Jordan, many
other parts of Africa, Asia, etc. It's all half cynicism, it's all
half so nothing that just became proliferative Allah subhanaw taala
accepted it for whatever reason, and that is what it became. So
Hamdulillah that gives you an understanding of that. There are
Believe me, I could spend five to 10 hours on the subject of karate
and on the side
object of the sub roof and hopefully I've clarified
everything but as I said yesterday as well if you have questions that
linger about something, please email us through zamzam.
academy.com and Inshallah, we are going to hold a session towards
the end which will answer everything. And I would also
suggest that those of you are serious about understanding the
Quran, the objections, and the historicity and everything like
I'm going to suggest a book, right, which is recently been
republished by one of the great scholars. It's written by one of
the great scholars of Quran and Hadith historic studies. It's
called the history of the Quranic text from Revelation to
compilation, a comparative study with the Old and the New Testament
as well. It's the second edition is published by Taurus, you can
find it on the white thread website, Inshallah, there should
be a link there in your comments anyway. So that's a really
important book that you should have if you're serious about
understanding the historical aspects and objections and he
really shows the proof through the various different manuscripts and
so on. We might discuss that a bit more later in sha Allah, so it
just like a lot here may Allah subhanaw taala bless us all with
the Quran. Make us scholars of the Quran make us readers of the Quran
make us practitioners of the Quran, while he read that one and
Al hamdu Lillahi Rabbil Alameen Assalamu aleikum wa rahmatullah
Jazak Allah here for listening May Allah subhanho wa Taala bless you.
