Meaning of seven ahruf
Q: Were all 7 Ahruf (without exception) and all The Mutawaatir & Mashhur Qira’aat (without exception) revealed by Allah Ta'ala to Jibril (alaihis salaam) who delivered the Revelation to Sayyidunaa Muhammad (sallallahu alaihi wasallam) and Allah Ta'ala revealed it to Sayyidunaa Muhammad (sallallahu alaihi wasallam) and Jibril (alaihis salaam)?
A: The Quraan Shareef was revealed in the lughat of the Quraish. As far as the other modes and dialects of recitation are concerned, they were permitted and not necessarily revealed. Since the permission for the other modes and dialects was given via wahi therefore it was explained as the seven ahruf were revealed. There are other views and opinions regarding this discussion.
And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
