Introduction, Types and Legal Status of Qiraat e Shaazah

Abstract

Abstract:

Qiraat E Qur'an is the basic and important source of all knowledge. The reference and source of authentic Qiraat is divine revelation. The knowledge of Qiraat is not ijtihad, but it is proven by listening and copying. Ijtihad and opinion do not interfere in it. The Qiraats that are being recited today are part of the seven letters that were revealed to the Messenger of Allah. It can be recited in prayer. Apart from these, all other Qiraats are Shaazah. Whether Qiraat is Mutawatarah or Shaazah, Qiraat is an important part and axis of all sciences. Qiraat plays an important role in all Arabic sciences. Qiraat E Shaazah is unique and separate from Qiraat E Mutawatarah in terms of ritual. Qiraat E Shaazah is applied to all the recitations that are other than the Mutawatara, whether they are proven by an authentic chain of transmission or a weak chain of transmission. In order to save the Ummah from the danger of going astray, the Islamic scholars started recitations in the light of the Shariah texts. Since then they have established the principles on the basis of which they separated Qiraat E Shaazah from Qiraat E Mutawatirah forever. All the scholars of the Ummah agree that Qiraat is not the Qur'an.

Recitation of Shazah is rejected, it is forbidden to include them in the Mushaf. Recitation of Qirat Shazah in prayer will invalidate the prayer in any case, it will be necessary to repeat it, whether it is recited as a dhikr or as a narration. However, if a person recites Qiraat Shaazah as a dhikr after the prayer, then the prayer will not be invalid. Since the recitations are not from the Holy Qur'an, their recitation in prayer is forbidden. Whoever will knowingly insist on reciting them, Ameer ul Momineen must prevent him in every possible way.
