The Typology of the Justification of the Perceptions in al-Muḥtāsab Ibn Jenni

The science of reading is one of the Qur'anic sciences which has the richest cultural heritage in the first few centuries of the Hijra, and by referring to the texts of Fahars, hundreds of works can be seen with the subject that was written at that time. The “justification of readings” became an important chapter in this science in the early stages of other works of art and became independent at the end of the 2nd century AH. Along with the famous remarks that were discussed by the Islamic scholars, “justification of the reading  of the incantations” appeared as a new field in the fourth century, and works were written on this subject. Al-Muhtasab by Ibn Jenni is one of the first and most important examples of the justification of the Quranic readings, which has been studied in the leading research. The author, with the induction of the various types of justifications presented for the purpose of reading this work, has typified these justifications. Examined cases include: justification based on “Bible readings”, “other Quranic readings”, “Hadith of Prophet Muhammad (PBUH)”, “poetry”, “Arabic dialects”, “likenesses”, “analogies” and “scriptures”.
