Ġāmidī’s red herrings about these variant readings being a specialised field of academic study are dismantled in the course of this study and his claim that these variant readings are a later concoction in the tradition as a result is shown to be a false claim, devoid of any scholarship. Qur'ān and Qirā'ah are two different terms, and refer to two different aspects: the skeletal text of the Qur'ān is multiformic and can be read differently across the variant readings, which were kept in the last recitation of the Prophet (saw) with Ǧibrīl (as), called al-’Arḍa al-Akẖīra. This paper contends, through a critical analysis of Jāvēd Aḥmad Ġāmidī’s essay entitled ‘Variant Readings’ that Fārahī School of the Sub-Continent has no academic or scholarly basis to reject the popular variant readings of the Qur'ān in circulation today.
