There are multiple versions of the Quran. There are different ways of reciting the Quran, known as “qira’at,” which can result in minor differences in the text ¹. These differences are mainly vocal variations, such as different pronouns or sentence structures.

There are seven recognized “ahrufs,” or ways of reciting the Quran, which were established by Islamic scholars ¹. Two of the most widely used versions today are the Hafs and Warsh versions. The Hafs version is commonly used in Saudi Arabia, while the Warsh version is used in Morocco ¹.

Some examples of differences between the Hafs and Warsh versions include:

· Different Pronouns: The use of different pronouns, such as “he” versus “we,” which can change the meaning of a sentence ¹.
· Sentence Structure: Different sentence structures, such as the use of active versus passive voice ¹.
· Number of Verses: The Hafs version has 6,236 verses, while the Warsh version has 6,214 verses ¹.

Despite these differences, Muslims still believe that the Quran is the word of God as revealed to the Prophet Muhammad.
