It is a case that al-qari/reciters in our country and in various regions of the world pronounce al-imalah in different ways/forms. It is possible to access a series of audio recordings about this thanks to the technological advancements today. Various recitings arise from the fact that reciters voice the same al-imalah with their individual experience. Therefore, there is a need to determine how al-imalah was featured in written media and was eventually defined and recognized without the influence of the personal interpretations. In this way, it might be possible to determine which al-qari/reciters have the closest pronunciation of al-imalah to the authentic readers. In order to determine the authentic reciting, in this study, we will try to examine how the types of al-imalah and al-fath have been explained since the first period, how their categories have been compared, by providing examples from the reciters.
