Under Scholar Review
This textbook is being reviewed by a qualified scholar. The uṣūl (recitation rules) have been cross-checked against the matn and published references; individual farsh rows marked (awaiting confirmation) still need a printed-sharḥ check. See the Scholar Review summary for the verification status.
This textbook decodes the 1,173-line poem of al-Shāṭibiyyah (the seven readings) and the 241-line poem of al-Durrah al-Muḍiyyah (the three that complete the ten) into accessible English — the ten canonical Quran readings through their twenty transmission chains (rāwīs), for students who know Ḥafṣ's recitation and basic tajwīd.
