The Problem of Tawātur and the Emergence of Shawādhdh
This work is a study of the transmission of the variant readings of the Qurʾān, the canonization of the system Readings, and the emergence of the non-canonical
shawādhdh readings. Nasser argues that Ibn Mujāhid and the early Muslim scholars viewed the variant readings as legal rulings
aḥkām and that the later generation of
Qurrāʾ were responsible for moving the discipline of Qirāʾāt from the domain of fiqh to the domain of Ḥadīth. After studying the theories of
tawātur in detail, Nasser shows that the transmission of the system Readings of the Qurʾān failed to meet the conditions of
tawātur set by the
Uṣūlīs, thus creating a paradox between the transmission of the physical text, the
muṣḥaf, and the transmission of its oral recitation, the “Qurʾān”.

Ibn Mujāhid and the Founding of the Seven Readings
In
The Second Canonization of the Qurʾān, Nasser studies the transmission and reception of the Qurʾānic text and its variant readings through the work of Ibn Mujāhid (d. 324/936), the founder of the system of the Seven Eponymous Readings of the Qurʾān. The overarching project aims to track and study the scrupulous revisions the Qurʾān underwent, in its recited, oral form, through the 1,400-year journey towards a final, static, and systematized text.
For the very first time, the book offers a complete and detailed documentation of all the variant readings of the Qurʾān as recorded by Ibn Mujāhid. A comprehensive audio recording accompanies the book, with more than 3,500 audio files of Qurʾānic recitations of variant readings.
