Remove ads

A qāriʾ (Arabic: قَارِئ, lit.'reader', plural قُرَّاء qurrāʾ or قَرَأَة qaraʾa; feminine form: qāriʾa Arabic: قَارِئَة) is a person who recites the Quran with the proper rules of recitation (tajwid).[1]

Although it is encouraged, a qāriʾ does not necessarily have to memorize the Quran, just to recite it according to the rules of tajwid with melodious sound.

The quadrumvirate of Al-Minshawy, Abdul Basit, Mustafa Ismail, and Al-Hussary are generally considered the most important and famous reciters of modern times to have had an outsized impact on the Islamic world.[2][3][4][5]:83
