An examination of ibn Acībe's work called ed-Dureru'n-nāsire fī tevcīhi'l-kirāāti'l-mutevātire in terms of recitation

Ibn Acībe (1224/1809) was an important figure who lived in the region of Morocco in the late 18th century, excelling in various fields of Islamic sciences such as Sufism and exegesis (tafsir). Being the third name of the Shadhiliyya Sufi order and his significant work in the field of allegorical interpretation (tafsir al-ishari), particularly his work "el-Bahru'l-medīd", has made him prominent in these areas. His work "ed-Dureru'n-nāsire fī tevcīhi'l-kırāāti'l-mutevātire" is a distinguished piece focusing on the recitation (qira'at) field, specifically addressing the ten recitations (qira'at) and conducting a thorough analysis from various perspectives such as grammatical analysis (i'rab), transmission (isnad), and meaning (mana), thus providing reasons for preference in recitation. The absence of a thesis-level study on the work, the neglect of the author's recitation aspect, and the scarcity of modern studies on the recitations' variations prompted us to prepare a thesis on the subject. In addition to recitation variation activity, the work also delves into various topics related to the science of recitation, such as the seven modes (ahruf), the ten canonical readings (Qiraat-i Ashara), the virtues of the Qur'an, and the etiquette of a Qur'an student and their teacher, offering a rich content and providing much-needed information for reciters. Therefore, further research on his works is essential to deepen the understanding of the science of recitation and to preserve and transmit the richness and diversity of Islamic scholar tradition to future generations. In this context, expanding the studies on the life and works of Ibn Acībe to include his contributions to the field of recitation and conducting a detailed analysis of the content and methodology of the work would contribute to a better understanding of the science of recitation. Our study on the subject consists of an introduction, two chapters, and a conclusion. The introduction discusses the significance, purpose, scope, and methodology of the research, along with a review of the relevant literature. The first chapter covers Ibn Acībe's life, scholar personality, and demise, along with a list of his works. The second chapter addresses the topics covered in "ed-Dureru'n-nāsire," the sources used, the methodology of the work, and examples of evidence used in the recitation variations, thus elucidating the content of the work. The conclusion presents the findings and offers a general assessment of the topic. Keywords: Qiraat, Ibn Acībe, ed-Dureru'n-nāsire, tawjeeh,
