In the Qur’an Qira’at literally means reading and, in terminology, the method of reciting the Holy Qur’an. Traditionally, there are 10 recognized Qira’at schools, each of which takes its name from the famous reader of the Quran recitation.

In Qira’at, there are two categories:

1) Mutawatir: Transmission whose independent chains of authority are sufficiently wide to exclude any possibility of error and on which there is a consensus of ulema at that time.

2) Mashhur: their transmission is slightly narrower, but they are still wide enough to make the error very unlikely.
