The Hizb Rateb is a group tilawa of the Quran with one voice, in mosques, zawiyas, kuttabs and Quranic schools.[4][5]
This custom has been practised in the Maghreb countries since the tenth hijri century under the Almohad Caliphate, after Sheikh Abdullah Al-Habati created the rules for collective reading with one tone.[6][7][8]
It has an allocated and known times, because it may be recitated after the Fajr prayer or after the Maghrib prayer.[9][10]
It may also be recitated before the Zuhr prayer or before the Asr prayer.[11][12]
Thus, in the countries of the Maghreb, the muslims used to recite the Quran together in what is known as the Hizb Rateb, in line with the current custom in these states.[13][14]
