The Words Used by the Grammarians When Calling into Question & Challenging the Recitations (Qira’at) and Responding to them

Abstract

Grammarians, May Allah have mercy on them; have great merit in directing and winning the Qur'anic recitations (Qira'at). The people of interpretation followed them, but some scholars, despite their merit and righteousness, subjected some recitations (Qira'at) to challenge and rejection. Herein lies the research problem. Which aims to track the words used by the grammarians and interpreters, and then discuss them. The research is based on the analytical method that traces the words of challenge and contestations among scholars, which they directed towards recitations (Qira'at). As this research results in, the Quranic readings are a Sunnah that cannot be challenged and must be accepted. The research also concluded 12 terms used to challenge Quranic recitations (Qira'at). In addition, that these terms may be explicit in the response to the readings, and some of them are not explicit.
