Abstract

Abstract:

The Holy Quran is a great book, which Allah has revealed to us as guidance and light. Therefore, whatever knowledge is related to this book is worthier of respect than the rest of the sciences in terms of value and dignity. The most important knowledge from Qur'anic sciences is "Al-Qira'at" and "At Tawjeeh Al-Qira'at".

The knowledge of guidance of the Qur'an is a great knowledge. The knowledge of Tawjeeh Al Qiraat  is related to the knowledge of  Qiraat e Quraan.In fact,the knowledge of the Qiraat is the name of knowledge of  Rawayat and the  knowledge of  Tawjeeh Al Qiraat  is the name of  knowledge of  Dirayat. In knowledge of Tawjeeh Al Qiraat,Lexical, semantic and interpretative reasons and processes are discussed. Knowledge of Qiraat is related to the recitation of the Book of Allah and knowledge of Tawjeeh Al Qiraat is related to the understanding and consideration of the recited verses. Qiraat is the origin and knowledge of Tawjeeh Al Qiraat is its branch.

Due to this knowledge, the student's knowledge of frequent recitations is strengthened and is saved from doubts and denials. Different meanings of reciting a verse are known and each meaning is familiar. There is an awareness of the different and multiple dialects of the Arabic language. Support is given on prudence and thoughtfulness.

 A strong relationship is established with the knowledge of Tafsir, because the understanding of the meaning of Quranic words is based on understanding the meaning of the verses and words of the Quran. It is as if each recitation is a substitute for a verse. The focus of the readings is a part of the interpretation of the Qur'an. Any interpretation that does not take into account the different meanings of the recitation is a faulty interpretation.
