ABSTRACT This article represents the matters regarding the Qira’ah (the method of recitation) of the Qur’an. Nowadays, many researches have been conducted on Qira’ah of the Qur’an. The reason behind that is the difference between different types of the Qira’ah of the Qur’an is considered by the orientalists as a golden opportunity of dispute to create many doubts and confusions in the authenticity of the Qur’an. Their claims are: How can differ the Qira’ah of the Quran one another as the Qur’an was revealed from the only One Allah? If the difference in the types of Qira’ah is accepted, there will be contradiction in the terms, the contexts and the meanings of the Qur’an. As such, how can the Qur’an be authentic in which there are contradictions? Similarly, many hypothetical questions are raised in this regard. This article will answer for their speculative questions intensely and explain what is the dialect of Arabs, why the dialects differ one another, what is the connection between the Qira’ah of the Qur’an and the dialects of Arabs? what is the right way to approach the difference between the different types of Qira’ahs? |
