The unclear relationship between two methods for performing this action led to Yasir Qadhi’s admission of “holes in the narrative.” One hadith states that those who perform this action well will be in the company of the angels, and those that perform it with difficulty will receive twice the reward. Six of the seven methods of performing this action, called aḥruf, were abandoned, and have an unclear relationship with the ten qira’at describing this action. A word meaning “to beautify,” tajweed, describes rules for performing this action, which is performed in 30 parts in a ritual called taraweeḥ during Ramadan. A hafiz is able to perform this action from memory. For 10 points, name this action of speaking the words of an Islamic holy text out loud. ■END■
ANSWER: reciting the Quran [or reading the Quran; accept memorizing the Quran before “memory;” accept ahruf before mentioned; accept qira’at before mentioned; prompt on speaking or reading out loud]
