Abstract:

 The Noble Quran, despite being in prose, possesses a structure that encompasses the rules of Tajweed the art of reciting the Quran and incorporates natural music. When recited correctly, it evokes emotions, such as touching, saddening, and inspiring, even without understanding its meaning. Due to the commendation of reciting the Quran beautifully and melodiously by Prophet Muhammad, Muslims have attached great importance to learning, teaching, and reciting the Quran with a beautiful voice and melody for centuries. In this context, Muslims have endeavored to adorn the Quran with their voices, as a beautiful voice enhances the beauty of the Quran. The beauty of voice is the ornament of the Quran, as everything has its own ornamentation. Thus, Muslims have strived to recite the Quran in the most beautiful manner, inspired by the Hadith: Adorn the Quran with your voices, for a beautiful voice enhances the beauty of the Quran. Every beautiful thing has its own ornamentation, and the ornamentation of the Quran is a beautiful voice. This study focuses on the principles of reciting the Quran with a beautiful voice and proper melody, as well as the life and contributions of Reîsül-Kurrâ the leader of Quran reciters Hafiz Abdurrahman Gürses Hoca, who devoted his life to the science of Quranic recitation. Additionally, our research includes Gürses recitation of verses 26-37 from Surah Al-Hajj in the previously unexplored Ushshak maqam musical mode. The recitation has been transcribed into musical notation using the Mus notation software, and a modal analysis has been conducted.

 Kuran-ı Kerim, düz yazı olmasına rağmen, içindeki tecvid kurallarını kapsayan bir yapıya sahiptir ve doğal müzik öğelerini içerir. Doğru şekilde okunduğunda, anlamını anlamadan bile duygusal tepkiler uyandırabilir. Dokunaklı, hüzünlendirici ve ilham verici etkiler yaratabilir. Hz. Muhammedin Kuranı güzel ve melodik bir şekilde okumanın övgüsü üzerine, Müslümanlar yüzyıllardır Kuranı güzel bir ses ve melodiyle öğrenmeye, öğretmeye ve okumaya büyük önem vermişlerdir. Bu bağlamda, Müslümanlar sesleriyle Kuranı süslemek için çaba göstermişlerdir, çünkü güzel bir ses, Kuranın güzelliğini artırır. Sesin güzelliği, Kuranın süsüdür, çünkü her şeyin kendine özgü bir süsü vardır. Bu nedenle, Müslümanlar, Hadisten ilham alarak Kuranı en güzel şekilde okumak için gayret göstermişlerdir: Kuranı seslerinizle süsleyiniz, çünkü güzel ses, Kuranın güzelliğini artırır. Her güzel şeyin kendine özgü bir süsü vardır ve Kuranın süsü de güzel bir sestir. Bu çalışma, Kuranı güzel bir ses ve uygun bir melodiyle okumanın prensiplerine ve hayatını Kuran tilavetine adayan Reîsül-Kurrâ Hafız Abdurrahman Gürses Hocanın yaşamı ve katkılarına odaklanmaktadır. Ayrıca, araştırmamız, daha önce keşfedilmemiş Uşşak makamında Gürsesin Hac Suresinin 26-37. ayetlerini okumasını içermektedir. Tilavet, Mus nota yazılımı kullanılarak müzikal nota haline getirilmiş ve makamsal bir analiz yapılmıştır.
