The ten canonical readings of the Quran
The Quran has reached us through several authenticated chains of transmission, called qira'at (readings). Ten are canonical, each traced to a reader (imam) through a named transmitter (rawi) — Ḥafṣ ʿan ʿĀṣim is the most widely recited. This page groups mp3quran's catalog of 244 reciters by imam, reading, and transmission path (ṭarīq).
Press play on any reading's portrait cluster to hear al-Fātiḥah in that voice, or tap its name to open the reading's own page listing every reciter recorded in it. Below the ten readings, two recording styles — Muʿallim, for phrase-by-phrase memorisation, and Mujawwad, the slow melodic tajwīd style — are listed separately, since neither is a reading of its own.
