Abstract:
Qiraat E Qur'an is the basic and important source of all knowledge. The reference and source of authentic Qiraat is divine revelation. The knowledge of Qiraat is not ijtihad, but it is proven by listening and copying. Ijtihad and opinion do not interfere in it. The Qiraats that are being recited today are part of the seven letters that were revealed to the Messenger of Allah. It can be recited in prayer. Apart from these, all other Qiraats are Shaazah. Whether Qiraat is Mutawatarah or Shaazah, Qiraat is an important part and axis of all sciences. Qiraat plays an important role in all Arabic sciences. Qiraat E Shaazah is unique and separate from Qiraat E Mutawatarah in terms of ritual. Qiraat E Shaazah is applied to all the recitations that are other than the Mutawatara, whether they are proven by an authentic chain of transmission or a weak chain of transmission. In order to save the Ummah from the danger of going astray, the Islamic scholars started recitations in the light of the Shariah texts. Since then they have established the principles on the basis of which they separated Qiraat E Shaazah from Qiraat E Mutawatirah forever. All the scholars of the Ummah agree that Qiraat is not the Qur'an.
Recitation of Shazah is rejected, it is forbidden to include them in the Mushaf. Recitation of Qirat Shazah in prayer will invalidate the prayer in any case, it will be necessary to repeat it, whether it is recited as a dhikr or as a narration. However, if a person recites Qiraat Shaazah as a dhikr after the prayer, then the prayer will not be invalid. Since the recitations are not from the Holy Qur'an, their recitation in prayer is forbidden. Whoever will knowingly insist on reciting them, Ameer ul Momineen must prevent him in every possible way.
To introduce, categorize, and discuss the legal status of Qiraat e Shaazah (non-mutawatir recitations) within Islamic jurisprudence.
The study appears to be a theoretical and jurisprudential analysis based on established Islamic texts and scholarly consensus regarding Quranic recitation. It involves reviewing and interpreting existing knowledge on Qiraat.

The paper emphasizes the divine origin and established transmission of authentic Quranic recitations (Qiraat e Mutawatarah). It highlights the critical distinction between these and Qiraat e Shaazah, which, despite potential authentic chains of transmission, are deemed outside the scope of Quranic recitation in prayer due to their non-mutawatir nature. The discussion underscores the scholarly efforts to preserve the integrity of the Quranic text by setting clear jurisprudential boundaries for acceptable recitations, thereby safeguarding the Ummah from misguidance. The legal implications of reciting Qiraat e Shaazah, particularly in prayer, are thoroughly examined, reinforcing the prohibition.
- Qiraat e Qur'an is a divinely revealed source of knowledge, not subject to personal opinion or ijtihad.
- Authentic Qiraats are transmitted through listening and copying.
- The currently recited Qiraats are part of the "seven letters" revealed to the Prophet Muhammad.
- Qiraat e Shaazah are all recitations other than the Mutawatarah (mass-transmitted) ones, regardless of the authenticity of their transmission chain.
- Islamic scholars have established principles to distinguish Qiraat e Shaazah from Qiraat e Mutawatirah to prevent deviation.
- There is a consensus among scholars that Qiraat is not the Quran itself.
- Recitation of Shazah is rejected and forbidden in the Mushaf (written Quran).
- Reciting Qiraat Shaazah in prayer invalidates the prayer, requiring its repetition, whether recited as dhikr or narration.
- Reciting Qiraat Shaazah as dhikr after prayer does not invalidate the prayer.
- Insisting on reciting Qiraat Shaazah knowingly is to be prevented by the ruler.
The study concludes that while Qiraat e Shaazah may have historical or linguistic significance, they are legally distinct from the divinely preserved Qiraat e Mutawatarah. Their recitation in prayer is impermissible and invalidates the prayer, reflecting a strict adherence to established principles of Quranic recitation to maintain the purity and integrity of the Quran.
