In such cases, sometimes short vowels change to long vowels or vice versa and in rare cases, the vowels are assimilated to consonants.
This paper aims to identify the process by which phonetic assimilation takes place in the Noble Qurʾān and to determine its role in phonemic coherence and the variance of readings. The results of our study show that a considerable part of the differences in modes of recitation are rooted in disagreement between the reciters regarding the instances of phonetic assimilation. In applying the rules pertaining to this, reciters have different approaches. This goes back to the various forms of recitation without impacting the meanings. Other reasons for these differences relate to the language and natural factors that do not impugn on the multiple
