Narrators and qirâah tariks of the imams of qirâah al-ashara

The historical background of the Qur'ânic recitation differences has been shaped around the concept of "seven letters" and this phenomenon has been accepted as the origin of the Qur'ânic recitations. Consisting of the preferences of the imams of the Qırâah in seven letters; however, the aspects of recitation, which are known by different names compared to those who came after the aforementioned imams, have been the subject of education on a dual plane, as aspects transmitted by narrators and tariks. In this study, both the historical data of Qırâah were handled with a holistic point of view, and the meanings of the concepts of narration and tarik were analyzed and exemplified; At the same time, a wide-ranging evaluation has been made about the narrators and Qırâah tariks of the imams of the Qırâah, taking into account the distinction in the ashara sughra and ashara kubra programs. In this sense, by making determinations and evaluations about the aforementioned notions, which occupy an important place in the Qırâah terminology, a summary of the existing literature has been made, almost in terms of theory and practice.
