In Islam, Qiraʼat (also Qirāʼah) (Arabic: قِراءة, lit. 'recitations or readings') are "the different linguistic, lexical, phonetic, morphological and syntactical forms permitted with reciting the Quran".[1] Differences between Qiraʼat are slight and include differences in stops,[Note 1] vowels,[Note 2] letters,[Note 3] and also sometimes entire words.[Note 4] (While called 'recitations or readings' or 'verbalizations', the Qiraʼat are not different ways of reading the same Quranic text, but (slightly) different texts of the Quran.[Note 5] They should not be confused with Tajwid, the rules of pronunciation, intonation, and caesuras of the
Quran.)
