Q
What challenges might arise in maintaining the original recitation of the Qur’an, and how can they be addressed?
A
The companions of `Abdullah (bin Mas`ud) came to Abu Darda’, (and before they arrived at his
home), he looked for them and found them. Then he asked them,: ‘Who among you can recite (Qur’an)
as `Abdullah recites it?” They replied, “All of us.” He asked, “Who among you knows it by heart?”
They pointed at ‘Alqama. Then he asked Alqama. “How did you hear `Abdullah bin Mas`ud reciting
Surat Al-Lail (The Night)?” Alqama recited:
‘By the male and the female.’ Abu Ad-Darda said, “I testify that I heard me Prophet reciting it
likewise, but these people want me to recite it:–
‘And by Him Who created male and female.’ but by Allah, I will not follow them.”
