Abstract

The Ḥafṣ ʿan ʿĀṣim qirāʾa, one of the seven canonical readings in Islamic tradition, remains the most widely used recitation across the Muslim world, particularly in the Middle East, South Asia, Southeast Asia, and North Africa. This study examines the historical, political, and cultural factors behind its dominance and the implications for religious practice and Islamic education globally. Using a descriptive-analytical method based on literature review, the study finds that the spread of Ḥafṣ was reinforced by the codification of the Mushaf al-Madīnah in the twentieth century, which became the official standard in many Muslim-majority countries, supported by institutions and favored for its clarity of pronunciation. By contrast, other qirāʾāt such as Warsh ʿan Nāfiʿ have survived in parts of North Africa but have not achieved comparable reach. The findings show that the prominence of Ḥafṣ stems not only from textual features but also from publishing politics and educational policies. This study contributes a fresh perspective by highlighting the link between mushaf standardization and the marginalization of other qirāʾāt, thereby underscoring the importance of preserving recitational diversity as part of Islam’s intellectual heritage and as a resource for fostering intra-madhhab tolerance.

Abstract

The study of qira’at in Islam has traditionally centered on linguistic and phonetic dimensions. However, it also intersects significantly with the dynamics of political authority and canon formation in Islamic history. Using a historical-analytical approach, this study examines the role of political power in the codification and standardization of qira’at, focusing on critical episodes such as the compilation of the mushaf under Caliph ‘Uthman ibn ‘Affan, administrative interventions during the Umayyad dynasty, and the canonization of the seven qira’at by Ibn Mujahid, later expanded to ten by Ibn al-Jazari. Drawing on classical Islamic sources and contemporary academic literature, the study demonstrates that qira’at orthodoxy was shaped not only by scholarly consensus, but also by strategic political interventions in response to socio-political imperatives. By exploring the intersection of religion, power, and the construction of Qur’anic recitational authority, this research contributes to a deeper understanding of how the political construction of religious orthodoxy and the canonization of sacred texts in Islam.
