This book essentially discusses the lives of those who form part of the scholarly lineage in the transmission of Qirāʾāt. The nature of the content is therefore biographical. While this book offers some basic premises upon which the student may rely on, he/she will need to continuously consult works dedicated to these biographies – books, journals, articles etc. – to thrive and flourish.

Upon teaching the Khulāṣah of our teacher, Sheikh ʿAbd Allah ibn Ṣāliḥ al-ʿUbayd, I found the conclusion of his poem – a mere seven lines – to be most apt, comprehensively summarising these etiquette. This booklet comprises the conclusion of his poem, along with a short commentary on its lines, mostly inspired from his own explanation of them

This commentary is written for those who have already completed the study of the Shāṭibiyyah and the Durrah . Therefore, I will not explain any of the technical terms because the student should be familiar with them by now.
