Abstract
The Science of the Qur‟ānic Readings is an important discussion of the Qur‟ānic Sciences. There are many words in the Qur‟ān which have more than one reading. Qirā‟āt are primarily divided into two types: Qirā‟āt al-Mutawātirah and Qirā‟āt al-Shādhah. Qirā‟at al-Mutawātirah has three conditions: It should have a chain of coherent narrators till the Prophet (صلى الله عليه وسلم), it should be in accordance to the rules of Arabic languageand also should be according to the „Uthmānī Script of the Qur‟ān. If any Qirā‟at does not fulfil any of the three conditions, it is Qirā‟at al-Shādhah. Besides the scholars of the Qur‟ānic Readings, the exegetes too discussed the subject of the Qur‟ānic Readings in their exegeses.Moreover, they inferred frequently from them for the interpretation of the Qur‟ānic words and deduced conclusions. Al-Jāmi‟ li-Aḥkām al-Qur‟ān is one of those exegeses in which inference from the Qur‟ānic Readings has been done very frequently and the impact on the variance in the meanings of the words has also been elucidated remarkably. With the aim of creating an ease in apprehension, the distinction between the both forms of Qirā‟āt will be mentioned in this article with elaboration of difference in their meanings.
