The Recitation of Qālūn ʿan Nāfiʿ A Comprehensive Guide to Riwāyat Qālūn ʿan Nāfiʿ through al-Shāṭibiyyah and al-Ṭayyibah is a detailed English-language reference for students, teachers, and serious readers of the Qur'anic qirāʾāt who wish to study one of the great transmitted recitations of the Qur'an.
The riwāyah of Qālūn ʿan Nāfiʿ represents a distinguished chain of Qur'anic transmission from Qālūn (ʿĪsā ibn Mīnā) through the celebrated Madinan Imām Nāfiʿ ibn ʿAbd al-Raḥmān. This book presents its principles in a systematic and accessible format while preserving the terminology and precision essential to the science of qirāʾāt.
Beginning with the lives and transmission of Imām Nāfiʿ and Qālūn, the book develops from foundational uṣūl to detailed farsh al-ḥurūf, followed by the more advanced study of the ṭuruq of al-Shāṭibiyyah and al-Ṭayyibah.
Readers will explore the distinctive rules of Qālūn, including madd munfaṣil and muttaṣil, mīm al-jamʿ, hāʾ al-kināyah, hamzah, idghām, yāʾ al-iḍāfah, yāʾāt al-zawāʾid, fatḥ, taqlīl, imālah, ishmām, ikhtilās, sajdāt al-tilāwah, and other important features of the riwāyah.
A major feature of this volume is its sūrah-by-sūrah farsh reference, with side-by-side Ḥafṣ and Qālūn Qur'anic words to help students immediately recognize where the two recitations agree or differ. The tables are designed for efficient study, khatmah preparation, teaching, and rapid review.
The book goes beyond introductory Qālūn study by examining ṭarīq and wajh, permissible and impermissible combinations, and the danger of tarkīb-combining individually authentic faces in a manner not transmitted through a single recognized route. Special combination charts address such important relationships as madd, mīm al-jamʿ, and التَّوْرَاة, while the Ṭayyibah material introduces students to the broader network of transmitted routes.
Additional reference sections cover Madanī and Kūfī verse counting, the eleven sajdāt al-tilāwah, tafarrudāt of Nāfiʿ and Qālūn, special Qur'anic words, route-identification markers, quick-reference charts, and extensive appendices designed to make a complex science easier to navigate.
Ideal for:Students studying Qālūn ʿan Nāfiʿ
Teachers of Qur'an, Tajwīd, and Qirāʾāt
Students progressing from Ḥafṣ into the canonical recitations
Students of al-Shāṭibiyyah and al-Ṭayyibah
Ḥuffāẓ preparing a Qālūn khatmah
Advanced students seeking a practical English reference for the ṭuruq
Islamic schools, Qur'an institutes, and personal reference libraries
Clear tables, comparative Qur'anic examples, route charts, and compact review material make this volume useful both for structured study and as a reference beside the muṣḥaf.
The Recitation of Qālūn ʿan Nāfiʿ is ultimately more than a collection of variant words and technical rules. It introduces the reader to the extraordinary precision with which Muslim scholars preserved not only the words of the Qur'an, but the authentic ways in which those words were received, recited, taught, and transmitted from generation to generation.
Learn the rule. Recognize the word. Know the transmitted face. Preserve the route.
This book is intended as a study and reference aid. Because qirāʾāt is fundamentally an oral transmitted science, it does not replace talaqqī and direct recitation to a qualified teacher with an authenticated chain of transmission.
