Studies and Research: Different Readings, Their Impact on Interpreting the Holy Quran

messages.sharePost :

Although "Qur'anic Readings" has become one of the important sciences of the Qur'an, no exegete has overlooked them in the reading of the words of the Qur'an. However, at the same time,

 they are not used as evidence for deriving legal rulings or clarifying the Divine intent, because the differences between the reciters and the vast number of works on the subject, reaching fourteen distinct readings, indicate that they are personal [ijtihads] interpretations and individual preferences. These readings may be valid for some but not for others.

Furthermore, they have not attained the required sanctity, as they are not considered [mutawatir] mass-transmitted in their technical sense, from Allah Almighty and His Messenger (peace be upon him and his family) to the recipients of these readings.
