Difference in readings of the disconnected letters (al-hurūf al-muqatta‘a) is an issue unattended to except in the sources of the early scholars. Among the outcomes of paying attention to this category are discourses such as exploring into the causes of difference in readings, the number of the verses, and even legal rulings such as regarding some disconnected letters as comprising one or two verses. Also, the difference in dialects can be the main factor in reading the disconnected letters in different ways.
