\n\tQuestion:<\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\tAssalamu alaikum,<\/span><\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\tIn Surah Fatihah, I have been exposed to two variants of the word <\/span><\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\t“Maalik”:<\/span><\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\t1. meem-aleef laam kaaf: <\/span>http:\/\/tanzil.net\/#1:4<\/span><\/a><\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\t2. meem laam kaaf:  <\/span>https:\/\/quran.com\/1\/4-14<\/span><\/a><\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\tCould you please give an authoritative, comprehensive explanation to <\/span><\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\tthis geared towards the layman – which includes possible associated <\/span><\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\ttranslation issues.<\/span><\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\tJazakumullah khairan<\/span><\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\t\u0628\u0633\u0645 \u0627\u0644\u0644\u0647 \u0627\u0644\u0631\u062d\u0645\u0646 \u0627\u0644\u0631\u062d\u064a\u0645<\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\tWa alikum salaam<\/span><\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\tThe prophet peace and blessings be upon him said “verily this Quran has been revealed in seven styles so recite it in a way that is easy for you from out of these.” Bukhari and muslim as stated in Mishkat vol.1, pg.414, hadith no.2211. darul kutub al ilmiyah.<\/span><\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\tIt is clear from the above hadith that there are more than one way of reading the quran.  This was requested by the prophet from Allah so as to make it easy for the different tribes of Arabia to recite it in their own dialect. (Mirqat vol.4, pg. 1507, darul fikr.)<\/span><\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\tHowever it is important to remember that you should only read one way at a time, you cannot mix them up. Furthermore, you can only read in a certain manner after you have learnt it from a scholar of Quranic recitation.<\/span><\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\tAs for your question about the word Malik in surah fatihah, you can read it both ways, however if you are reading in the manner of Imam hafs (one of the seven famous scholars of qirat) then you should only read it with an alif after the meem i.e. Maalik, unless you have learnt the other ways too.<\/span><\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\tAs for the meaning, the one with an alif after the meem, means the owner of all matters, whilst the one without the alif means the king. (tafseerul jalalain pg.1, Darul ghad al jaded. And umdatut tafaseer (abridged form of ibn katheer,) pg. 63, vol.1, dar ibn hazm<\/a><\/span><\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\tOnly Allah knows best.<\/span><\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n
