Egyptian Singer’s Quran Recitation Stirs Controversy
According to Balad News website, Ahmed Saad recently released a video in which he recites the Quran in a way that is similar to singing.
He posted the video on his Instagram account, causing his followers to express their anger at what they saw as insulting behavior.
They have asked him to observe the principles of Tajweed in reciting the Quran.
Tajweed is a science that has to do with the rules that govern pronunciation when someone is reciting the Quran.
It covers the guidelines on how Arabic alphabets should be pronounced, places to pause, stop or keep going during recitation, when to elongate the pronunciation of an alphabet, etc. It covers the characteristics of Arabic alphabets and how they interact with each other such that they can take different forms.
