On the Evolution and Systematisation of Qurʾānic Sciences As Exemplified by the Discipline of zallat al-qāriʾ
Abstract
This study traces the emergence and development of a Qurʾānic
science called zallat al-qari (mistakes made by the reciter of the
Qurʾān). This discipline emerged as a response to the various
challenges and difficulties that Muslims faced while reciting the
Quran and other ritual remembrances and supplications in the
prayer, both as Imams and as followers. These issues vary greatly
based on their form and nature, and can relate to both the
meaning and the articulation. The study also delves into the
linguistic, phonetic, legal and theological matters that relate to
this science, as well as the impacts that these errors may have.
The importance of this science lies in two areas: its pivotal role
in preserving the Quran from distortion in its script and meaning,
as well as its role in maintaining the validity of the prayer.
