Abstract

From the point of view of Quranic scholars, “The Science of Recitation” is one of the sciences that was compiled in line with the correct understanding and interpretation of the divine word and is very important in explaining the divine purpose. Moreover, the science of different recitations (Qira’at) can play an effective role in establishing and explaining interpretation opinions; for this reason, this science has long been of interest to commentators and Quran scholars. The interpretation of Tasnim written by Ayatollah Javadi Amoli is one of the interpretations in which attention is paid to the issue of different recitations (Qira’at) and their effect on understanding the verses of the Quran. The current research, with the descriptive-analytical method and using library resources, is trying to explain the ijtihadi approach of Ayatollah Javadi Amoli with the phenomenon of difference of recitations (Qira’at) and its effect on the more correct understanding of God’s will. In this research, the basis of interpretation of the author of the Tasnim commentary on the recitations (Qira’at) of Sab’ah and the massive reporting of the recitations (Qira’at) and the accuracy criteria of the recitations (Qira’at) are examined, and by studying examples of the criticism of the recitations (Qira’at) in the Tasnim commentary, it is clear that this Shiite commentator is not satisfied with the famous recitations (Qira’at) of Hafs from Asim and by examining the meanings As a result of the recitations (Qira’at) and matching them with correct interpretative criteria, he has criticized some of the interpretative opinions in this field
