Abstract
AN EVALUATION ABOUT THE TYPES OF MÂ (ما) AND TYPES OF CHANTING IN THE QUR'AN IN THE CONTEXT OF REPRESENTATIVE READING
It should be paid attention to the meaning of Quran while reading it. Reading by meaning is possible if the rules of representative reading are followed . Because as in all languages in Arabic too There are words which have same form but different meanings. These words can be distinguished from each other by emphasis applied to the sound or by the difference of intonation.Mâ (??) words in Arabic are the words which have same form but different meanings by their location. To be able to distinguish the words in question from each other they should be epmhasized according to their meanings while reading. As the appropriate emphasis strengthens the meaning the inappropriate ones can lead to mis understandings and even can make the meaning wrong. Therefore, the aim of this article is to determine the types of mâ (??) in the Qur'an and to make some evaluations about expressing their meanings more accurately during recitation in the context of representative reading.
