The Sciences That Preserve the Qurʾānic Text

Summary:

The Qurʾān as we hold it today is the product of centuries of meticulous scholarship. This webinar introduces the six sciences of the Qurʾān that converge on every page of the muṣḥaf – tracing their origins, development, and practical presence in printed copies of the Qurʾān.

Learning Objectives:
  • Identify and understand the six sciences of the Qurʾān that underpin the preservation and presentation of the muṣḥaf.
  • Appreciate how these sciences developed historically and how they are applied in the printed copies of the Qurʾān used today.

Course Details

The muṣḥaf in our hands is far more than a printed text – it is the living result of six distinct Islamic sciences, each playing a precise role in preserving, transmitting, and presenting the words of Allāh.

In this two-hour webinar, Ustādha Saima Yacoob will explore what these six sciences are, how they emerged within the early Muslim scholarly tradition, and how they developed over centuries of dedicated scholarship. We will then examine how these sciences find concrete, practical expression in the masāḥif printed and distributed across the world today.

This session is open to females of all levels – no prior knowledge is required. Whether you are a student of Islamic sciences or simply a Muslim interested in the Qurʾānic sciences, this webinar will deepen your appreciation of the extraordinary care with which Allāh’s Book has been preserved.
