نص السؤال
Dear Dr. Mansour, Assalam Alaikum I have a question regarding Quran. It has been disturbing me since I read about Hafs, Warsh and some other variations in the Quran.If there is one true reading of the Quran, then which one is the true reading? I always thought, that all Muslims read the same Quran all over the world. I'm a 72 years of age, a Muslim originally from India. I would appreciate, if you please reply. My experience is that whenever, I write to a Christian or a Jew - I get the reply right away. But, whenever I write to a Muslim, I never get a reply. I'm still taking a liberty to write to you. Shukran Ma Salama!

You are welcome in our Ahl Al Quran website. We have our poor English section , but our Arabic one is powerful. However, you can understand our advocacy from our English writings.
Actually, there is only one (reading ) or reciting of the Quran. The word Arabic Quran in itself means the only one way of reading.You may find it in Sura 75  verse18 but read also : 17 and 19. It's the one reading which the majority of Arab Muslims use without knowing Hafs or Warsh.
Muslims in Abbasy time, in middle ages, invented what is named (Oloum Al Quran ) , or the sciences of the Quran. It was to distort the Quran. Some aspects of it the claim of abrogating the rules and the (Shareeah ) of the Quran under the name of (Naskh) while the term Naskh in Arabic Language and in the Quranic terminology means (Copy ) or to write. Other aspect is the claim that there are different readings of the Quran invented by people who were born many generations after the death of the Prophet Mohamed. I am Muslim scholar who has 40 years expertise in research in the Quran and Muslim history and traditions, but I know only one Arabic Quranic reading. There are hundreds millions Muslim who read and memorize the Quran, but most of them ignore the Quran in their daily life. Reading my writings, you will find the real problem, Muslims deny the Quran for the benefits of their human made religions, Sunna, Shiittes and Sufism. This is the real isisue, not the so- called different readings of the Quran.
