The center of heritage revival organizes seminar

Under the supervision of prof . Dr. Alaa Nafea Jasim (the director of the center of heritage revival ) , the center organizes seminar entitled (Correct and incorrect beginning  in reading holy Quran) where sited in the hall of Nabila A. Dawood in the center on Thursday 23rd/1/2025 by presenting numbers of researchers , the lecture is presented by prof. Dr. Taha Sabti Ibraheem who talks about the correction beginning ,it is that the reader begins with a verse that is not related to what precedes it in wording or meaning, and it has many types, such as beginning with the beginning of the surah and beginning with a verse that allows for a new context. As for the incorrect beginning, it is that the reader begins with a verse that is related to what precedes it in wording or meaning, and it also has many types, including beginning with a verse that contains a pronoun that refers to what precedes it, beginning with a verse that contains a demonstrative pronoun for what precedes it, and beginning with a verse that occurs in a story. Therefore, the reader must choose to begin with a verse that is not related to what precedes it in wording or meaning. The lecturer emphasized the issue of stopping and starting, and there must be great care on the part of students, researchers, and readers. Despite all these great efforts and extreme care, we do not find a special section explaining specific controls that would be a law and a general method for the reader that would prevent him from making mistakes and errors that he makes when he begins to read the Holy Quran.
