Symposium Discusses How Waqf, Ibtida Affect Understanding of Quranic Text
The Holy Quran Academy in Sharjah organized the event that brought together ten researchers from different Arab countries.
Some of the discussions at the two-day symposium, held on Wednesday and Thursday, July 9-10, focused on how Waqf and Ibtida (pauses and beginnings) in the Quran affect our understanding and interpretation of the text.
The symposium kicked off with a speech by Khalifa Musabah Al Tunaiji, the chairman of the Academy. He praised the researchers for their hard work and valuable contributions, emphasizing the significance of understanding the differences between various meanings in the Quran.
Al Tunaiji highlighted the Academy's many achievements in Quranic studies, including the creation of an encyclopedia that helps interpret the Quran's rhetorical styles.
He shared his vision for this symposium as a starting point for developing a new encyclopedia that focuses on the concepts of pausing and starting in the Quran.
This resource aims to support students, teachers, Quran reciters, and anyone interested in enhancing their understanding of the Quran.
He stressed the importance of organizing seminars and gathering scientific research to deepen our knowledge of these aspects of the Quran.
