5. Discuss the role of the Huffaz in the preservation of the Qur'an.
Model answer
The Huffaz (those who memorise the Qur'an) help in the retention of the whole Qur'an; they help in the preservation of the correct way the Qur'an should be recited; they help in knowing the different authentic ways the Qur'an can be recited; they help in teaching the Qur'an to those who do not know it; and they assist one another in correcting recitation mistakes.
