Question

Bismillah. As salaamu alaikum. 

I am aware that the best manner is to take from a teacher! Knowledge in taking from the breast of men! However, I would like to know if you could delineate all the rules of Warsh Recitation alone and not in comparison to any other riwayat. Or can you direct me to a proper written source.

Thank you for your time in this matter. ma'a salaama.  

Answer

Wa alaikum assalaam wa rahmatu Allahi wa barakatuh.

We are in the process of modifying the site, insha’ Allah, to include the rules of each of the ten qira’aat and their two riwaayaat, and the rules of Warsh will be included insha’ Allah.  The process is under way, but we do not know when it will be up online.  We assume you want the rules explained in English, since there are many books that outline the rules in Arabic.  If you can read Arabic, please contact us again, and we will point you to some good sources, insha’ Allah.

You are most welcome.
Wa assalaam alaikum.
