Unity in Multiplicity

Have you ever wondered why the Qur’an is recited in slightly different ways around the world, whether in Makkah, Cairo, Istanbul, or Jakarta? These differences are not mistakes or changes. They are part of the Qur’an’s divinely preserved tradition, known as qirāʾāt.

For over 1,400 years, Muslims have carried these recitations from teacher to student, generation after generation. They show us the beauty, richness, and universality of the Qur’an, reminding us that Allah’s words were revealed for all people, in every place and time.

Join us for this full-day Miftaah Seminar with esteemed scholar Shaykh Yousef Wahb as we journey through the history, transmission, and spiritual insights of the qirāʾāt, and experience firsthand how they enrich our connection to the Book of Allah.

Testimonials

The event was a comprehensive and refreshing reminder of how to engage with different parts of our environment with Quranic etiquette. The scholars did a great job explaining the ayat traditionally, but also gave very meaningful explanations and practical examples of how to apply them in our everyday life.
Wafaa, Waterloo, ON
I just wanted to say this was by far one of my favorite experiences. I felt welcomed from when I entered the Miftaah building to when I left. The environment was welcoming, nice, educational, etc. Alhamdillah for such an amazing experience inshallah I will be planning to attend plenty more in the future.
