What are Ten Qirat?

How to Learn Ten Qirat Online?

The Ten Qirat are not merely different voices or styles; there are subtle differences in pronunciation, letters, and Harakat. It’s similar to comparing two different books of the Quran and finding slight variations. To understand how to learn Ten Qirat online, we need to look back at the time of Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) and Islamic history. During the time of Prophet Muhammad (PBUH), people were illiterate and spoke various dialects, just as in the case of British and American English.

How the Ten Qirat Evolved

At the time of the Quran's revelation, Angel Jibril (AS) recited the Quran to the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) in one dialect. Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) requested Jibril (AS) to increase the dialects, and he did until seven dialects were completed. All these were the same in meaning but differed in pronunciation.

Hadith on Ten Qirat

Ibn ‘Abbaas reported that the Prophet (PBUH) said, “Jibreel recited the Qur’aan to me in one harf, and I recited it back to him, but I requested him to increase (the number of harf) and he continued to increase it for me until we stopped at seven ahruf.” Ibn Shihaab az-Zuhree (d. 124 A.H.), one of the narrators of the hadith, said, “It has reached me that these seven ahruf are essentially one (in meaning), they do not differ about what is permitted or forbidden.”
‘Ubay ibn Ka’ab reported that the Prophet (PBUH) was once on the outskirts of Madeenah (near the tribe of Banoo Ghifaar) when Jibreel came to him and said, “Allaah has commanded that you recite the Qur’an to your people in one harf.” The Prophet (PBUH) replied, “I ask Allaah’s pardon and forgiveness! My people are not capable of doing this!” Jibreel then came again and said, “Allaah has commanded you to recite the Qur’an to your people in two ahruf.” The Prophet (PBUH) again replied, “I ask Allaah’s pardon and forgiveness! My people are not capable of doing this!” Jibreel then came a third time and said, “Allaah has commanded you to recite the Qur’aan to your people in three ahruf.” The Prophet (PBUH) replied for a third time, “I ask Allaah’s pardon and forgiveness! My people are not capable of doing this!” At last, Jibreel came for the fourth time, and said, “Allaah has commanded you to recite the Qur’an to your people in seven ahruf, and in whichever harf they recite, they would be right.”
‘Umar ibn al-Khattab narrated, “I was sitting in the masjid when I heard Hishaam ibn Hakeem recite Soorah al-Furqaan. I was almost about to jump on him in his prayer, but I waited until he finished, and then grabbed him by his garment and asked him, ‘Who taught you to recite in such a manner?’” He replied, ‘It was the Prophet (PBUH) himself!’ I responded, ‘You are mistaken, for indeed I learned this soorah from the Prophet (PBUH) and it was different from your recitation!’ Therefore, I dragged him to the Prophet (PBUH) and complained to him that Hishaam had recited Soorah al-Furqaan in a manner different from what he (PBUH) had taught me. At this, the Prophet (PBUH) told me to let go of Hishaam, and asked him to recite Soorah al-Furqaan. Hishaam recited the Soorah in the same way I had heard him before. When he finished, the Prophet (PBUH) said, ‘It was revealed this way.’ He then asked me to recite the same soorah. When I had finished, he (PBUH) said, ‘It was (also) revealed this way. Indeed, the Qur’aan has been revealed in seven different ahruf, so recite whichever one is easy for you.’

In conclusion, the Holy Quran was recited in seven different dialects allowed by Allah based on seven different dialects at that time in the Arabian Peninsula. After the death of Prophet Muhammad (PBUH), the Companions understood it and spread it to others. When Islam spread and people from different areas met, these differences were noticed. A Companion suggested that Khalifah Usman Bin Affan (RA) combine the Ummah on one Mushaf (Book). Khalifah Usman chose the Qureshi dialect for all Ummah. Over time, other Mushaf were forgotten, but the seven recitations remained in society from the Qureshi Mushaf, only in reading and not in the form of books.
