Persian (Farsi) term

تلاوة

Persian (Farsi) to English Art/Literary Poetry & Literature Literary and Religious Terms
Hi,

Does this word mean something like “reading the Qur’ān”?

In Persian the word is تلاوت, and my Persian dictionary says that the words comes from Arabic.

Please let me know the three-letter root the word comes from so I can research it further.

All the best, and many thanks,

Simon

to follow/obey : read

ریشه کلمه : تلو
فعل : تلو
معنی : تبعيّت، پيروي، دنباله روي از پى رفتن «تاليات» از پى رونده‏ها . «تلاوت» خواندن
توضیح : متابعت گاهى به جسم و گاهى به پيروى در حكم است و مصدر آن تُلّو و تِلو مى‏آيد و گاهى با خواندن و با تدبّر معنى است و مصدر آن تلاوة است. تلاوت مخصوص كتب آسمانى و خدائى است و از قرائت اخصّ است هر تلاوت، قرائت است ولى هر قرائت تلاوت نيست. (مفردات راغب)

the root is ت ل و and means "to follow", تالیات means "the followers"
and the word "تلاوت" means "to read"
in some cases it mean to follow physically and sometimes to obey the laws (of a Holy Book)

However "تلاوت" is regarded as reading "قرائت" (reading) but "قرائت" is not necessarily "تلاوت" which implies obeying and following Quran

Yes it comes from Arabic and is used when referring to reading the for reading Quran. The root is تلو if I am not mistaken.
