AI: Transcript ©
Hope everybody is doing amazing. This actually is
our last class, and then we're going to
be taking a short break, and then we
will start again,
our second session in.
And tonight, when we finish,
you will at least have the,
the
most of the rules, and I'm actually really
surprised at the speed
you guys were able to go.
And so the next go around, we're going
to start again with all the rules using
a very important text. And after that session,
I think we'll be around 8 weeks.
Then the next session will
be the 3rd session will be just practice,
and that practice will
be private as well as as as a
group. So privately reading to me, and then
as a group, reading the entire Quran.
And as we mentioned privately, no less than
2 people together. Right? So we at least
wanna have 2 people,
for that. So
I'm super excited.
We're gonna take a break for 2 weeks,
Inshallah.
22 weeks, and then we'll get started again,
And,
also, that class is going to be open
to the public, so people may come, and
I'm going to need you all, those of
you who studied with me now the first
time, to help me out in teaching some
of those people if they have questions, if
they need help, when we break them up
into groups.
I'm sure you guys are going to be
ready to assist me, and, also, that's a
good practice for you. Right? To learn is
to teach twice. But I want to say,
like, I'm very under all of the challenges
with COVID
and some health issues that I face, like,
you guys really per persevered, and I'm super
excited,
about the growth. And I hope that you
are now picking up the most half in
qalun and starting to read
and starting to make sense of things, Insha'Allah.
When we finish,
the of qalun,
the qira of qalun and the ui the
qira of qalun to the qira of Imam
Nafi.
Then we'll move on to the qira of
of, Abi Amr,
Ibni Amr, excuse me, Ibni Amr
Dimashpi, which is very close to Hafs, and
at one time was the most popular
qira'a, actually, in the Muslim world.
So we have 3, like, semester 2 semesters
left. Right? The next semester is going to
be to review the rules and to do
more application.
And then the 3rd semester will be practicing
and reading
and then finishing an entire recitation of the
Quran together,
in the of Qalam from Imam Nafi.
And then once that's done,
if students want to read the entire Quran
to me, we'll set up times for that,
and then give the
and then move on to
which is super easy
and very beautiful,
but very important,
to be reading with.
So we reach now the 13th rule,
and the word
means to stop without taking a breath.
Sayna imam
says
It says that asat al muhtar,
stopping,
sat,
to stop without tanefos, without a breath without
a breath.
So we're gonna give some examples of that,
but in
the of Imam Qalam from Nafir, we
have means,
like, to connect them together, like,
which means that you're not going to observe.
Do you remember we talked about in the
basmalah?
So if I say, you know,
That sucked.
I didn't take a breath.
Some of the Quran
some of
the Quran, the observed sucked in certain words.
Here, we're going to see the Sayna imam,
Khalun does not. He does what's called,
which is like to run together.
So the first is in verse
27
with
or
And that's why in the print of Kalun,
the nun isn't gray
to tell you that you don't recite it.
It's idram kamil.
If I read it with suped, hypothetically,
I would read it like this.
Without taking a breath.
So we see here that Imam Qalun is
going to read it with. He's not gonna
stop.
And make sure to make tafim of the
Ra.
But don't go crazy with it.
The second
verse 14,
If you read it with,
So
Is anyone able to read these two verses
for me
with the
and
the. Anyone wanna go for it? Bismillah. Just
jump in and unmute yourself and go for
it.
Anyone up to the challenge?
Not that difficult.
Amazing. So
with And, of course,
As I mentioned earlier, he mentions these rules.
I put it here for you. You can
see them.
The 14th rule is taqleel and imala.
We have what's called fath, taqleel, and imala.
Fat, taqleel, and imala. Fat is a,
taqleel is a, and imala is a.
So if you have, like, 3 levels with
your mouth, the first is
or
and then 2nd in the middle,
barely you can hear it. And then what's
called the. You hear a lot of people
that make a mistake, especially here at least
in the US, They think that imam wash
reads with This is a big mistake. So
do you find people sometimes maybe they learn
from listening to
recordings on YouTube, so they say, well,
This is a mistake.
Imam Wash from Nafi only observes
in one word just like
Imam Qalun
only observes it in one word, but it's
in 2 different words.
Sayedna Ilam Wash from the triyat of Imam
al Azraq, he only
reads
with only. That's the only place where there's
I've had actually people when I've read before
in Wash.
Like, I had one time a guy, he
got really upset at me
and tried to box me in a position
where I had to explain to him, like,
bro, I know, and you don't know,
bro. Like, people will sometimes try to,
boil your your your your anger.
You have to be careful with that. So
I tried to nicely explain to him. Then
finally, I mentioned to him the rules
from Sayyidina Asha to be as well as
Imam Ibn Jazari, and he Higa Khan.
But in wash, just a FYI,
you only observe Imara in the Tariq of
Azraq, the strongest sonid
of Azraq
with.
That's it. So
That is called the. So that's the if
you look at my mouth, it's here. It's
down.
You can see my mouth is open. The
second is called,
so it or or which is
a, and then
a. Afon a is, fat, and then is,
and then
Imam Ali. Imam only reads Imala in one
word, and that's
in.
Don't say
or
Say
with
There is a difference of opinion
about Torah
and the narration of Sayedid, imam Qalun,
That he reads it with fat like Hafs,
Taurat
Taurat
Taurat, Taurah,
Khallas with taffin,
and also that he reads it with taqleel.
So,
taqleel, barely. In fact, one of my teachers
said, the one who reads taqleel correctly
is the one that
only only the Quran,
only the scholars will notice his taqleel.
It's very, very subtle.
The best person to listen to to read
with taqleel
is Imam al Khosuri.
His recitation of that
I added to the group. You can find
that on the Google chat. So we have
fat
Taklib,
and then
In in Kalun,
only one word is,
not even majoraha,
not majriha,
like hafs.
Majoraha.
Imam Khalun reads in majoraha in Surat of
Hud, verse 41,
with fat.
But for our
our concern is actually the word tawra,
because there are 2 very strong
asaneet
back to say in the imam Qalun, and
have both of those asaneet through different that
he reads it with different word different ways.
And
So
we observe the with.
As far as heading,
As
far as
without.
Khalas, it's not that difficult.
The 15th rule is what's called
or The possessive.
Me.
It belongs to me.
The of
is the possessive
indicating the speaker.
An example is indeed I.
Indeed
I am
creating
or making
in the earth a Khalifa.
And then the the recitation of Qalul
back to the qira of Sayidni Imam Manafi,
narrated back to the prophet
when the year
is followed by an alif,
we read that with fatha.
It's different than hafs.
Sayna imam hafs from Sayna imam Aasim.
He reads this verse from Surat Al Baqarah
after. That's why it has mad in
house.
Because of this
Don't read it with mud.
But make sure this
as we learn in
to with
So when you see
it's written in the most half, followed by
hamza toqata. You don't say,
you say.
Also,
There's no med. Why?
Because this year,
After this year, is this hamza,
the the broken hamza. So you read it
with.
Also with a definite article,
again.
And also in front of so for example,
in
Ahmed.
This is written in the, so it's easy,
but I want you to be familiar with
the.
The possessive yet takes succoon unless it is
followed by
hamza or hamza.
But in the following words, we have a
certain rule that says the possessive, yeah, takes
unless it's followed by a hamza al ata
with the following words, meaning it doesn't take
the
However, in Qarun and Wash,
this this word is read a little different,
and the reason is that this now became.
So we read it like this on.
If we stop.
If you don't stop, then you don't really
tell it.
The
word and
These words, they take unless they're followed by
hamza tokata, as we mentioned above, sort of
building on that same
rule. And in the case of the last
word, as I said, you have to read
it with.
Mahya.
This one has a mud
in the print of qalum. The 16th rule
is what's called.
There are times when the letter is not
written at the ends of word for ease,
although it's there. It's understood to be there,
and this agrees with the Usmani or Rasim,
excuse me, Usmani.
Some authenticated
read them while others don't
Read those.
What's called?
Has certain rules for reading this type of.
The default for this is that when kalun
connects it, he observes it. We said that.
Remember this. These ways of reading, and we're
gonna review this next semester more and more,
is only fihada terwasl,
when we're connected, not when we stop.
Khalas.
So, for example,
the default for this is that when Qadun
connects it, he observes it. When he stops,
he does not.
An example of this is.
If you stop, you say.
But if you read it and you connect
it, you're gonna pronounce it.
Same thing in,
in. In
You read
the.
You don't say.
You say,
You read that yeah.
If you stop, you don't read it. It's
gonna be a test question I'm gonna ask
you.
I know I'm gonna ask you guys this
question in the future.
If you when do you observe this yet?
We call yet.
When do you observe it? When do you
not observe it? I'm gonna ask you this
question.
There are some exceptions to this rule.
There's always an exception to the rule, man.
There are 4 words reads differently than the
rule above.
The first 2 although there's difference of opinion
on all these,
and and you remember in the beginning, I
told you
I'm I'm not trying to open up a
lot of those doors yet. I just wanna
keep it simple for you. So what I'm
giving to you is what is and what
was taught to me by my teachers,
more predominant,
the mainstream, what is preferred.
But these words in particular, in fact, this
this word here, there's actually.
And it's 6 ways we could read it.
It's very incredible. It's amazing, but that's not
what we're here to do right now.
So there are 4 words,
reads differently than the rule above. The first
two are in Sultan baqura,
specifically the words.
The preferred opinion is 2 is 2, not
2. Yeah.
To read them without the,
but it is allowed to read them. So,
you know, say
Although that's allowed.
It's allowed, and there are Asanid.
Back to say, the imam Qalun and amongst
the people of the Quran that allow it.
But the preferred way, the stronger
asanid is not to.
The second is.
Again, 2 opinions, yes and no
for us. And all this is when we're
connecting. If you stop, you don't have to
worry about the rule.
Reads it with as seen here.
Connects here this because
this
is 2 succoons.
So this takes.
However, when he stops, he reads it with
2 ways.
And reading it with the
is preferred.
From a
attorney Allahu
Hayy. One of the things you can appreciate
now is when people
question the preservation of the Quran.
And unfortunately,
as some people may misinterpret
that the care given to even things like
this
means somehow that the preservation
of the Quran
is disorderly, but it's the opposite, Subhanallah.
If the tongue is sick,
you can't blame the chef. If the eye
is infected,
you can't blame Picasso.
If we can't recognize greatness, maybe we should
check ourselves.
From that attorney, just this word.
There's a discussion about this to make sure
that the correct way is preserved.
So
or
a And so to zukrif, also the last
word.
Whether connecting or stopping, Paolo reads it with
Well, that's again, if you stop, the same
thing is gonna apply. And here we see
the abyat
of Sheikh Ahmed al Baba,
Rahim Ohola,
going through this these different Abiathmein's lines of
poetry.
The 17th
rule are words that Qalun
reads differently than hafs.
And I've I've put this here for you
because
this is, like, really important. It will help
you. The first is the word whoa,
he or it
when a well comes in front of it.
When a well comes in front of the
word who,
the takes a sukoon. So we don't
say, we say,
Why? Because of the wow.
The second word,
As Allah says, for example,
Later in the verse
talks about the.
Imam,
he reads it with.
Not boo, b.
As for the word bait, the singular of
is with.
Only here the gem,
the broken plural of
Both of them are acceptable.
So sage,
unlike,
he reads the word
with.
The word.
Say the imam
reads it with sukoon, not.
Don't
say So now
So now it's.
The next word, the word
with.
Imam
reads it with,
not
like wash.
Don't say
The 5th, when the connected hums of a
verb of begins
with doma.
If a word before it ends in sukoon,
reads that last letter with.
So don't say
Don't say
Because that hamz
if we took out the word, it will
be
And we know we talked about this before.
This is
of the harakah, from the hams
to the lamb's second before it.
The word.
We know Sahina Imam Hafs. Of course, he
reads this.
Next
the the next is the verb Hasiva.
Imam has to raise it with.
But Imam and
Imam
wash
back to sayidna Imam Al Nafi. This is
qiraat of the.
They read it with kesra.
This is one of those verbs.
There's a number of verbs in Arabic that
can take fata and kesla.
Imam Iblo Matic,
in his book Lamiat Al Afari,
I wish one day I have students who
can study Lamiat Al Afar.
But our level of knowledge in the in
America is not not high.
It's not there.
That's why some of our most brilliant imams,
when I talk to them, they're very lonely.
Ask them why. They said they don't have
students that can engage them. So they actually
they gather together and study together
to keep their skill set going in the
US.
But Imam Ibrahim Adik, he says in the
Two ways to read the verb,
and he mentions 1, Hasiba.
This verb,
Hasiba,
you
Both of them are acceptable.
As mentioned by Sayidna Imam, Abrahamic
So Imam Qadun, he reads it like
like.
The word.
Say the imam reads it with Kasra.
Like Sayinah from.
Well, Imam Khadu narrates it back to say,
back to say,
Make sure you observe the Shadda.
Don't say
These words we're gonna study together 1 on
1.
The 18th rule that we wanna talk about
is ra,
are so important that our sheikh,
sheikh Adubas Teshim, he wrote a whole poem
about just.
Warsha's narration of Neffiye authenticated
recitation and observed some interesting rules with the
letter ra
and lam. However, Qalun does not observe those
rules. He reads them just like Hafs.
Says
Now the narration
of this poem,
he says that you read it the opposite
of the opposite of.
Same thing with lam.
In
because of or
in like.
So you don't read it like.
For example, you don't
say,
with a
like
wash. The opposite.
Just
like with.
That's why he says here,
What he means is
that wash
those who are that wash, he reads lightly.
Makes him heavy. So
So here, the opposite of wash. You know,
no wash, but just so you know,
that you read the and the lamb and
just like
just like.
The
agree, and actually this is not not,
the number of sajdas in Qalun are 12
in agreement with the imam of Madinah, saying
the imam Maryknib Anderson has met him,
and you're gonna find them in the following
chapters.
We finished now this brief introduction to Qalun.
We're gonna start again in 2 weeks,
and go back through every rule
in more detail,
and also
create those times for you to read to
me, I apologize.
And then the 3rd semester we're going to
start reading from the beginning of the Mus'haf
together.
And then you'll also be able to read
to me 2 or more privately the whole
Mus'haf.
So we
can
give you
one of the Ijaz's
back to say, the imam.
I see there are some questions. Yes. Saad.
Yes.
What
is the exact date that we're gonna start
the 2nd semester?
2 weeks, I said, from now.
2 weeks. Perfect. So it'll be from yeah.
2 weeks is short. No no problem.
Hope you're well.
I know we're reading together. We have to
get back on it,
Any other questions about the information that we
covered this evening?
And for some of you, I think some
of you may be joining,
after a long time. It's okay. Watch the
recorded,
lessons, and then Inshallah, we're going to do
it again.
So don't worry. Like, I remember when I
memorized the Quran,
my teacher said, now you're gonna memorize the
Quran. Like, when you finish the Quran, you
think, oh, I memorized the whole Quran. He's
like, no. No. No.
You have to keep going. Keep going. Keep
going. Till
it's very strong.
And when we finish the,
of Khadoun from Nafi, we're not gonna go
to wash.
We're going to go
to
through Hashem.
It's easy, and it's, like, very important.
I got you.
I'll take care of you,
Look look for the announcements in the group
on our Google Classroom.
I wanna thank you guys. It's been a
difficult semester. It's been a little bit challenging.
You've been super patient with me.
And
we'll meet same time, Sundays. This time, 2
weeks from now, we have an assortment of
classes that are gonna be starting soon. Live
classes.
So,
we will,
get it going.
I'm not sure. I think a telegraph maybe.
We're gonna start a telegraph group inshallah. Maybe
better than,
than WhatsApp, but certainly we can start something
inshallah. We may just start, like, a telegraph
group under my
name, and then, like, this class can be
part of that telegraph group. Maybe that will
be easier.
May Allah
accept from all of us and make us
from ahlul Quran. I wanna encourage you to
keep going
and to be patient inshallah. This is a
process, not an event, and I didn't believe
that we would actually finish
the whole book in,
one semester. Although there are certain things that
I didn't cover.
There are some more complex issues that I
just wanted you to have some of the
foundational rules
in your mind. So you may come across
things you didn't hear in this class. And
then as we go through the second semester
together,
from the beginning to the end,
it will become clearer
Muhammad.
