Learn Maqamat - How to read the Holy Quran beautifully

[hasanali00]

Assalam-u-Alaikum

Have you heard about "Maqamat" with relation to Quranic recitation?

Maqamat is the knowledge of Arabic musical notes.

Basically egyptian Qurra (reciters) use different Maqamat to enhance their recitation. For instance, using Maqamat, reciters can read one verse of the Holy Quran with different melodies and this beautifies the recitation.

If you wish to learn how to read the Holy Quran with Maqamat, then you can find some videos that teach you maqamat:

I pray you find these tutorials useful, insha-allah

Before you go and learn 'Maqamat' for the Quran recitation. I would encourage you to read this Fatwa which is on another fatwa from another place:

This is a highly contentious issue with shuyukh on both sides, so it is better to avoid. Sh. Ayman al-Suwaid and Sh. al-Ma'sarawi both advise against it.

Didn't all the qura' (Sheikh Abdul Basit, Sheikh Minshawi, etc) used maqamat?

Not all, but many in the recent times. Preferable to avoid it. One thing is very clear that Quran cannot be read on musical tones or like a song. After this, no argument remains valid.

If someone is jumping into a deep dry well, will you do the same?

a7kam al-qiraàt alquràn of Shaykh Mahmood Khalil Husary and his ma3a Alquran Alkarim (specially this) has a detailed section on Maqamat. He elaborates much more the affirmative position (more that Shaykh Ayman Rahimahu Alllahu in tibyaan fi qiraat alquran bial7aan).

Shaykh Husary was one of the great Tajweed and Quran scholars of the last century. He mentions that everyone agrees that if one were to change a rule of Tajweed due to the maqamat then it would be Haram. The difference is when the rules and letters are not changed. His personal opinion is against it; however, he does mentioned that it may be Makruh when one reads with Maqamat and does not change any of the rules.

Wallahu Ta3ala A3lam.
