KAEDAH BACAAN RIWAYAT WARSY

Abstract

According to historical record, qira'ah al-Qur'an, had existed since the revelation of the Qur'an. Nevertheless, not until the early second century of Hijriyah did its distribution to various other parts of the Islamic world  begin. The qira'ath was taught   from generation to generation till the epoch of Imam of qir’ah.  Majma'ul Buhus (Research Institute) of Al-Azhar, Cairo, in its congress dated 20-27^th  April, 1971, had decided that qira'ah al-Qur'an was  tauqifiy (Devine ordain) deriving from ruwat al-mutawatirah. For this reason, the congress recommended that the Islamic states not recite the Qur'an using one kind of qira’ah only, that is riwayat hafsh version. The purpose was to preserve other qira'ah  from its extinct.
