Abstract

In most of the cases of the differences in recitations of Qurra’ Sab’ah doesn’t change the meaning of the verses, but in some cases, the meaning obtained from these recitations can be investigated. This research has investigated the differences in the recitation of seven reciters “Qurra’ Sab’ah” in surah Yunus to examine the extent of their influence on the meaning of the verses of this surah. The reason for examining this surah is the existence of verses that, due to the difference in recitation, the meaning received from them is contrary to the context of other verses. None of the researches has investigated the differences in recitations in surah Yunus. the result of this research, which was written with a descriptive-analytical method, is as follows: only 6 out of 22 cases are sometimes contrary to the context of the verses and sometimes don’t convey the exact and complete meaning of the verse; in this cases, the context of the verses and the coherence of the words of the verse introduce the famous recitation as the original recitation; in fact, what has protected the Quran from verbal distortion is the Quran itself in such a way that it doesn’t allow a word that is effective in the meaning of the verse to be read with a recitation other than the Asim recitation.
