Abstract

Objectives: Hijazi Quran recitation has been a remarkable voiceprint over hundreds of years. It reflects sympathy and sorrow and is also suitable for Azan )Islamic call for prayer). The current study aims to investigate Hijazi recitation schools and the factors influencing them. It also focuses on its origin, savants, influences, effects, and the classification of its scholars.

Methods: The study draws upon the descriptive, scholarly approach, as well as inductive and historical methods, in order to understand the origin of Hijazi recitation schools and their impact, in addition to the impact of Meccan and Madani recitation scholars.

Results: The study reveals the rotation of the sequence of narrators by the ten imams around the best-known Hijazi companions and scholars (Uthman, Ali, Ubayy ibn Ka'b, Ibn Mas`ud, Zayd ibn Thabit, Abu Musa al-Ash’ari and Abu Al-Darda’). It also reveals the great impact of the Hijazi school on the science of recitation in all regions and ages.

Conclusion: The Hijazi recitation of the Quran carries significant historical, cultural, and religious value and is considered an integral part of Arabic and Islamic heritage. It is evident that it is distinguished by its consistency and stability in narration across generations, making it one of the most stable recitations. This allows the Quranic text to immerse itself in the beauty and eloquence of the Arabic language. Additionally, the Hijazi recitation appears to be a means of interaction with the cultural and religious heritage of Muslims.
