        1 - Explanation of the reasons for the reputation of the narrative of Hafs Asim

        Differences in Quran recitation and the role of Quran recitation in understanding the book have certainly influenced the Quranic sciences to the modern age despite historical controversies. Yet, there is no consensus over the reasons for prioritizing one recitation over the others. Drawing on library studies and adopting a historical approach, the present study aimed to shed some light on the issue that ambiguity in some historical reports arises from particular Quran recitations in the Islamic world, the widespread use of Aasem’s recitation method according to  Hafs , adopted as the formal recitation method in the Ottoman Empire, and the publication of the Holy Quran based on Aasem’s recitation method. Therefore, other recitation methods should be taken into account to avoid an unfair exaggerated account of the above recitation method.   Manuscript profile

        The influence of the Qira'at (recitation) science on ancient texts is clear and one must have sufficient knowledge of Qur'an for exact understand Persian texts and poetries. Some scholars' unfamiliarity with the science of Qira'at has led them to believe that reading and narration that is common in our day has also been predominant in the ancient Islamic scientific and literary ages, and this is a factor that seriously undermines and damages the texts. Illiteracy of recitation science has led almost all critics and literary scholars to misunderstand the text of the Qur'an, which is somehow related to the meter of the poetry or to some sort of disagreement with the text, and completely or completely disregards the poet and author's opinion. They either fail to understand the main point of the poetry or attribute the meter of the poetry to the necessity and meter of necessity, while in many cases it is the poet's deviation from the purely narrative of Asim Kufi that has amazed the writers.

        Zikr  is  the  departure  from  the  field  of  ignorance  to  the  field  of perception, which springs from either the dominance of fear or the excess of love. The truth about Zikr is that you must forget all things except Mazkor (the one who you say prayer recitation for) and our intention of Zikr is the mental Zikr not the verbal one. The invocation of God is forgetting our humble beings through remembering the Almighty names that  its  continuance  results  in  purifying  the  heart  and  forgetting  God makes the heart strained. In this research, first, the author has included the definitions and kinds of Zikr and the feedback of famous mystics and great philosophers’ viewpoints in this area and then he has included the importance of Zikr in Ghaderiyeh’s doctrine and its customs and common Zikrs  in  this  doctrine.  Moreover,  the  author  has  finally  attempted  to analyze and deduce the above-mentioned matters.

        Abstract Folklore literature indicates the beliefs, ideas, values, life styles, interests, and societal relations of ethnicities. The investigating can clarify the main part of nations' literature and provides findings any aspects of the folklore nature which are not readily found in the study of the recognized literature. Poetry is distinguished from different forms of folklore. Couplets dated back to the earliest days of Persian literary terms and they have been prevalent in various places in Iran. They are popular in Fasa city and the natives have even established a tradition of chehel-beyti (forty verses) recitation there. The aims of this research are to record these couplets and the chehel-beyti tradition, and to analyze their content as well. The most prevalent themes include love, brotherhoods, unfaithfulness, sadness, moaning, and complaint of oldness, death, military service, curse, and determination. The reasons paved the rise of these couplets are illiteracy, poverty, lack of roads, and powerlessness in decision-making.   Manuscript profile

        In order to discover common recitations in the 5th and 6th centuries of Iran, this research has investigated the recitations recorded in three Qur'ans from the fifth century and three Qur'ans from the sixth century in the library of Astan Quds Razavi. Therefore, a table containing 1000 words was prepared. After preparing the statistics of the degree of similarity of the reading of these words with each of the ten readings as well as the remaining cases from Abu Hatem's authority, it was concluded that the calligraphy of this book is most similar to the script of Būm of Basrah, and then Kufah. It has the least resemblance to the Shami script. In this sense, there has been no change compared to the fourth century. Examining the "field of the letters" (farsh al-ḥorūf) of the Qur'an and comparing it with the ten recitations also shows that these Qur'an were not subject to a single reading, but they contain an authority, one of the criteria of which is the approval of more reciters. In general, the recitation of these books is similar to the recitation of Āṣim and then Khalaf". In comparison with the fourth century, the common recitation has turned away from being more similar to Abu Amr's Basri recitation and is inclined to the Kufic recitations, especially the Ḥafs narration of the Āṣim recitation.

        6 - The Role-Playing of "Man" and "Mā" In the Historical Context of the Emergence of Quranic Readings

        To understand the historical contexts of the emergence of Qur'anic readings, it is important to examine the repetitive patterns of reading differences. For this purpose, in the present article, we will look at the position of "Man" and "Ma" in the difference of readings, and by examining various evidence of the differences among the readers, we will recognize the role of "Man" and "Ma" in the emergence of readings. In the readings of the Qur'an, the various pronunciation of  "Man" as Man or Min is repeatedly seen . On the other hand, sometimes in readings outside the official Muṣḥaf, "Man" is replaced by "Ma". In addition, the hesitation between considering the wording or the meaning of "man" or "ma" has led to differences in the masculine or feminine readings of some verbs. In the present study, we want to defend the hypothesis that the flexibility of Arabic language structures, along with the fact that the official Qur'an was devoid of punctuation and Arabic symbols, led to the emergence and development of differences in readings.

        7 - Written sources, methods of tolerance and multiple role of narrators in validating Imami hadiths

        Many believe that for centuries, the memory of the narrators has been the repository for the preservation of Imami hadiths, and languages ​​have been the means of their transmission and dissemination; But historical evidence shows that written works have taken on the important task of preserving and transmitting this hadith heritage. The narrators, in order to preserve the works and at the request of the Taliban, provided them to other narrators. Transferring sources for a variety of reasons, such as ensuring that newer versions matched the original text, required listening and reading. Over time, other methods of hadith tolerance were added to these two methods.Most narrators cite the names of the narrators of the sources, their authors, and the narrators in the source at the beginning of the hadiths taken from previous works. The various maps of individuals in the transmission of hadiths require that in the validation of news, attention be paid to the type of map-making.Examining the causes of the emergence of hadith tolerance methods and the historical course of the changes that have taken place in this process, shows that in validating the hadiths based on the various maps of each of the planners in the transmission of news, they should be evaluated differently.

        Abstract Recitation is a kind of epic storytelling using screens on which are displayed illustrated scenes drawn from epic, mythological, and religious stories.  Putting together three elements of speech, picture, and performance made this art to be counted as the most influential and dramatic form of epic storytelling in between the traditional Iranian arts.  However despite possessing unique characteristics, by comparison to other Persian arts recitation has not been studied thoroughly.  This article is an attempt to deal with the recitation origins of this dramatic art of illustrated storytelling and the manner of its performance, and also examine its epic aspects.  The results obtained show that its history and origin goes back to the period before Islam in particular to the time that Mani, the Persian painter prophet emerged.  After Islam and in particular in Safavid era recitation received ample attention and this art was developed since due to retaining epic aspects, it was assumed as a unifying art.  Based on the researches, this epic aspect of this ancient art were drawn from Ferdowsi’s Shahnameh narrative and religious epics, being the main source for naqqals’ narratives.  The epic present in the narrative conveyed epic aspect to the other two chief components of the recitation that is painting and performance in such a way that one can name recitation the epic art of illustrated recitation.
