Clearing major errors re: qira'āt

[Aqdas]

Ulama could have either

1. Spoken to Mufti Ansar ul Qadri and:

A. He would post a retraction
B. He would remain adamant and justify his first speech

If A, job done.
If B, then he can be refuted publicly.

Or,

2. Not contact him and just post a refutation.

---
In either case, the refutation should be with adab.

Tangent: what's slightly annoying for me is, Jamia al Karam have this week hosted closet rafidi Ninowy and not a sound from any UK aalim.

Mufti Ansar ul Qadri is wrong. But it's a mistake due to not knowing an issue. As serious as it may be (denying mutawatir), it's a mistake.

Whereas those who continue to host rafidis or those who are ok with Tahir ul sit at the heads of Sunni tables, who will call that out?

I'm not one to do whataboutery but today is an exception because it seems we go for easy targets...

2) He is calling out bidah that someone people think is part and parcel of being sunni.

... Or it runs their peer shop! Not that I'm Akmal saab's fan boy, either!

Shaykh Asrar shouldn't have hastily posted his first video (post #2 on this thread). If it was just his 2nd video (post #9), it would have been less problematic.

BTW, who's the Mawlana in your facebook link (post #1)?

This fondness in lashing out at mufti Akmal

mufti akmal tries to stand out and tried to belittle bahar e shariat. he made blunders in aqidah and has this holier-than-thou attitude which has been criticised. what is there to be jealous of mufti akmal? unless one envies assured tv program slots.

Is the explanation given in this video correct??

Mufti Saeed Ahmad Mujaddidi. He's a mujawwid who knows the 10 recitations. Imam in Accrington.

fatihah according to hafs an aasim we read:

=====
how it would look without the tashkil - which is imperative in our time:

and fatihah, without the nuqat (i.e. pl of nuqtah/dots) as written in the time of the Companions raDi'Allahu anhum

 

[abu Hasan]

as you can see, variations are all possible in this single script - we refer to as mus'haf al-imam or rasm usmani. except those variations where additional words appear or words are elided. the reason rasm usmani is standard is it has scope to include all variations.

so instead of thinking as if different mus'hafs were "printed" in the time of hazrat usman raDi'Allahu anhu, go back 14 centuries and imagine how all variations were accommodated in the script.

will post examples later

Is the explanation given in this video correct??

its ok. mostly correct. i have also seen some other videos of the same person, and his slanting of hamzah is irritating, especially when he seeks to teach qur'an and tajwid.

the way he pronounces the "qur'aen" aen instead of aan, is off-putting.

otherwise, it is ok - though technically, some points are not entirely correct - but since it is meant as an explanation to common people, we can gloss over it.

at 2.11 he says: there are three main reasons. which is not entirely correct. two other reasons are explanations offered in hindsight by ulama; whereas, the first reason is drawn from the hadith says: "seven ahruf, so one can read whichever is easy". so it is not entirely wrong - but not entirely right either.

at 12.01 he says: you can make your own choices. which is not entirely right. because qira'at is not only about recitation but also about the context and the nazm itself. and this will lead to fitah.

what we must say is: yes, all the variations are correct and all variations are THE qur'an. and if one mixes them up in salat, the salat remains valid - HOWEVER, it is not permissible to start doing mix-ups deliberately - except for demonstration. and CERTAINLY it is not permissible to produce a mus'haf of mix-up of variations in a single aayat - meaning if there are four variations in an aayat, you cannot mixup multiple riwayat and call it your own variation. al-iyadhu billah.

12.08: ahruf is only another word for dialects - is also oversimplification of a matter which major reciters and imams of recitation pondered upon for decades and did not give a conclusive answer.

I have posted about this YT channel on the forum before. It seems to be run by some Wahhabi-leaning person. His videos are clickbait and are a mix up of truth and falsehood. Would not recommend!

What exactly have you found wahabi leaning in his videos

What exactly have you found wahabi leaning in his videos

It follows translation from wahabi sources. It pushes typical Salafi anthropomorphic ideas; so seriously disparages sunni tafsir like Kanz ul-Iman for not following literal meaning.
