Abstract

The Qur'an is the word of Allah and the "Qiraat" reflect the different readings of the people from the single text of the Qur'an. "Difference of Qiraat" appeared at the same time with the teaching, promotion and consolidation of the single text of the Qur'an in the Prophetic era and under the auspices of the Holy Prophet (PBUH), and with the expansion of the Qur'an, it continued to expand until the early fourth century AH. However, it was continuously developed until it almost stopped with the compilation of seven indicative and disciplined readings by Ibn Mujahid. By describing and analyzing historical data, this study has tried to show that the Qur'an is different from readings, and despite the formation of differences in readings in the Prophetic era, the audio text of the word of God was transferred to the next generation and taught, the recitation that in the first century AH has been referred to as "Qiraat’un Nas" or "Qira’at al-Ammah" (popular recitation). With the popularity of the Seven Readings attributed to the seven reciters, in which about 98% of the words of the Qur'an are recited in the same way, it became clear that only Asim’s recitation according to Hafs narration which is away from any ijtihad in recitation, is consistent with Qiraat’un Nas and the frequented narrations of the Messenger of God (PBUH), which is still widespread and prevalent in almost all parts of the Islamic world
