The Number of Letters in the Qur'an and Learning Its Meanings

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
And the Muslims spoke about the people of the Ummah, its verses, its words, and its dead, but the comparison is without elevation. He said: Because people follow the three in the people of its words, its verses, and its dead. Some of them call to the people of truth now, and some of them add. How do we reconcile the author's statement with what is found in the absence of elevation? He said:

The Shaykh:
They agreed on the surahs; there is no disagreement in the surahs, and there is no disagreement in their number. There is no disagreement in the verses either. As for the letters, this returns to the convention in defining a letter, in defining a letter. So there is agreement in general, if not agreement on every single one, agreement in general.

The questioner:
And O Shaykh, your brothers in Allah, we are students who have memorized the Qur'an and praise be to Allah, but this does not guarantee that this recitation is correct, and now we have begun to recite the Qur'an, and in most cases there is a discrepancy. So do we go to this guidance which we hope contains livelihood?

The Shaykh:
You are only safe with ability. If you are able to learn the meanings of the Qur'an and you have not learned them, then you are not safe. But if you are not able to do so in that period, then there is no blame on you, if Allah wills. Yes.
