Abu'l-Hasan al-Bâkūlî's evaluation and preference method of the recitations in her work entitled Keşfü'l-Müşkilât ve İzaâhü'l-Mü'dilât (In the context of Surat al-Baqara)

In order to ensure the correct utilization of the Holy Qur'an, one of the most important studies on the Qur'an is the analysis of the i'rab of the Qur'an and the issues related to the science of qiraat. The science of Qiraat is a branch of science that enables us to learn the wujūhat of the Qur'an, the differences of usul and fars-i hurūf in all its dimensions. In this respect, many people have written works in the field of Qiraat. Many works have been written in the field of the science of Qiraat, which was born for this purpose. One of the authors in this context is Abū al-Hasan al-Bāqūlī, a brilliant scholar who lived in the twelfth century. In his work Kashf al-muskilāt wa īzāḥ al-muʿdılāt fī iʿrābi al-Qurʾān wa ʿilal al-qirāʾāt, al-Bāqūlī made various evaluations about the qiraʿāt. Since it has been determined that al-Bāqūlī and this work have not been the subject of any study on qiraʿat, this study deals with al-Bāqūlī's method of evaluating and preferring qiraʿat in the context of Surah al-Baqarah in Kashf al-muskilāt. In the introduction of the study, which consists of an introduction and three chapters, the subject, purpose and methodology of the study are discussed. The first chapter provides general information about al-Bāqūlī's life, works, teachers, students, and scholarly personality within the framework of the sources. In the second chapter, the title of the work, its introduction, its content, and the usūlī and farsī differences in the work are discussed. In the third part, the author's evaluation of the seven Qiraat imams and the method of preference between the Qiraats are analyzed. In this respect, the study has tried to shed light on the issues related to the author's methodology when referring to the qiraat of the seven famous imams or when making a preference between the qiraat.
