Leran Ten Qirat
The term "qirat" describes the numerous techniques for reciting the Quran, each having its own distinct pronunciation, style, and regulations. The Arabic root word "Qara'a," which meaning "to read" or "to recite," is where the word "qirat" originates. The goal of a Qirat Course is to teach students the correct methods for reciting the Quran, so that they can do so beautifully and accurately while following Tajweed's criteria for pronunciation and phonetics.
Islamic tradition places great emphasis on the study of Qirat, which is regarded as an essential component of Islamic education. Not only is accurate Quran recitation necessary for one's own spiritual practice, but it's also necessary for leading prayers and instructing others.
An overview of Qirat
Ten accredited schools of Qirat exist, each called after a notable Quranic recitationist. Sub-schools, or "Riwayat," which are variations within the main schools, are further divided into these schools. The ten Qirat consist of:
- Nafi' al-Madani's Qirat
- Ibn Kathir al-Qirat Kitab
- Abu 'Amr al-Basri's Qirat
- Ibn 'Amir ad-Dimashqi's Qirat
- Khalaf al-Bazzar's Qirat
- Asim ibn Abi al-Najud's Qirat
- Hamzah az-Zaiyyat's Qirat
- Al-Kisai's Qirat

The significance of Qirat
Learning to recite the Quran in a melodic voice is not the only aspect in becoming a proficient Qirat. Its purpose is to safeguard the veracity of the Quranic text as revealed to the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) and transmitted through the ages. The Quran is a divine revelation that is meant to be recited, heard, and pondered upon; thus, reciting it correctly enriches the spiritual experience.
Recitation Accuracy: makes certain that the reciter follows the precise rhythm and pronunciation guidelines given by the particular Qirat being studied.
Spiritual Bonding: allows the reciter to interact more deeply and meaningfully with the Quran, which heightens the spiritual experience.
Community Leadership: trains people to lead prayer in groups, when accurate recitation is essential.
Instruction and Dissemination: Enables individuals to teach others, ensuring the accurate transmission of Quranic recitation across generations.
The composition of a Qirat course
Usually structured into multiple stages, a Qirat course accommodates students of different skill levels, from novices to proficient reciters. Depending on the teacher or the institution, the course structure may differ, but in general, it consists of the following elements:
Overview of Tajweed
The rules regulating how Arabic letters should be spoken and how to correctly recite the Quran are known as Tajweed, and the course starts with an introduction to them. Pupils gain knowledge of the elongation norms (Madd), the articulation points (Makhraj), and the properties of letters (Sifat).
Overview of Various Qirat
Beginning with the most popular schools, such the Qirat of Hafs from 'Asim, students are introduced to the various schools of Qirat. Students gain knowledge of the origins, distinctive qualities, and scholars who espoused each Qirat.
Useful Recitation
Practical recitation, in which students practice reciting the Quran in accordance with the selected Qirat, is the basis of the course. Pronunciation, rhythm, and compliance to Tajweed guidelines are all corrected by the teacher. This part is typically completed in a one-on-one environment to provide individualized coaching.
Techniques for Memorization
The course covers memorization techniques for people who want to memorize the Quran (Hifz), making sure that pupils maintain the recitation in their mind in addition to accurately reciting it.
Higher Education in Qirat
For advanced students, the course could examine the lesser-known schools or go deeper into the variances within a specific Qirat. Studying the ancient writings Shatibiya and Durra, which expound on the various Qirat, may also be part of this level.
Examinations and Certification
Students normally have to pass an exam at the end of the course to show that they are proficient in reciting the Quran using the selected Qirat. A certificate that is typically given to successful students may be accepted by places of worship.
