Qiraat Imam Yaqub, narrated by Ruwh, with footnotes from the narration of Ruways through ad-Durrah, is a special edition that presents the Quranic text according to the reading of Imam Yaqub al-Hadrami, one of the ten authentic Qiraat. In this Mushaf, the main text is presented in the narration of Ruwh ibn Abd al-Mumin, one of the prominent narrators of Yaqub’s reading, while the footnotes feature the narration of Ruways ibn Abd al-Aziz, the other recognized transmitter from Yaqub. This allows readers to easily compare between the two narrations within the same Qiraah.
The reading of Yaqub, like the other ten canonical Qiraat, is marked by subtle differences in pronunciation and tajwid rules for certain words and verses. These variations enrich the beauty and depth of Quranic recitation.
This edition, written in the Uthmanic script, is designed to facilitate recitation and learning for those seeking to explore Qiraat Imam Yaqub through both Ruwh and Ruways. It is ideal for students and reciters with an interest in the studies of Qiraat and in studying the fine details and differences in tajwid. It also strengthens the appreciation of the rich heritage of Quranic recitation traditions.
