Description of the Application "Lawāmi' al-Nashār fī Ijra' al-'Ashr"

The application "Lawāmi' al-Nashār fī Ijra' al-'Ashr" is a comprehensive tool designed to assist in understanding and practicing the ten qira'at (recitations) of the Quran. The term "Lawāmi' al-Nashār" translates to "The Shining Points in the Practice of the Ten Recitations," reflecting its focus on elucidating the correct methods and practices for these recitations.

Overview

The Quran, the final divine scripture revealed by Allah, is divided into seven ahruf (modes) for easier comprehension and recitation. These seven modes are not just variations but essential components of the Quran's divine message. Accepting or rejecting these modes is crucial, as denying them is equivalent to rejecting the Quran itself. Today, across the world, ten qira'at based on these seven ahruf are read and taught. Among these, four qira'at—Qalun, Warsh, Duri, and Hafs—are widely practiced in different regions. For instance, the qira'at of Imam 'Asim via Hafs is prevalent in many parts of the Islamic world, while Imam Nafi's qira'at via Warsh is common in North Africa, including Libya and Tunisia. Meanwhile, Qira'at Qalon 'an Nafi is widespread in Egypt, Somalia, Sudan, and Yemen, and Duri 'an Abu 'Amr al-Basri is practiced in several African countries.

Features

The application includes the Moshaf Malik Fahd printed edition of the Quran, which encompasses all four widely circulated qira'at and additional recitations. This makes it an invaluable resource for scholars and students alike. Over centuries, numerous scholars have written extensively on the science of Quranic recitation, and this tradition continues to thrive today.
