Kur’an Kırâatı ile Arap Dilbilimi Münasebeti Üzerine
The Approach of Linguists to Qirāʾāt and the Position of Sībawayh

Abstract: Arabic linguistics and qıraa are twins on the basis of the basic aim that they are serving. There is an
intense relationship between them in the context of source and hujjat. They refer to each other when basing the
general application rules. Within the process, these two disciplines discussed among themselves, sometimes it
was possible for mutual criticism. The two main issues on which the discussions are focusing is the issue of
resource dimension and practicality reference. In this context, naqil, semāʿ, qıyas, illat ve istishhad are the most
commonly used arguments. What could be the reason for the linguists to criticize various aspects of Qirāʾāt for
further arguments to justify the Arabic language grammars? What does Sībawayh's position in this regard and
the attitude between these two disciplines mean for subsequent linguists? The grammar and the prioritising
approach of qiyās have become widespread since the hegira of the third century. As a result of the activities
that justify the qıraat with multiple arguments, especially linguistics, there has been a tendency to choose
among the aspects and some aspects have even been criticized. Those who see the grammatical and formal-
mushaf dimension of the issue as anterior could tend to highlight the qiyās, while choosing among different
aspects. Those who see the sanad, mushâfaha telakki und tahammul dimensions of qıraa as anterior, showed a
more cautious attitude about preference. In the context of the naql dimension of Qirāʾāt, Arabic linguists are
not as moderate as philologists. In this article, the attitude of Sibeveyhi will be discussed as a balance element
in the axis of Qirāʾāt approach of linguists.
Structured Abstract: It is important to determine the conceptual framework when dealing with reading and
linguistics. Both the linguistic composition and the term reading may evoke different contents. It is possible
to encounter manifestations of these different perceptions in academic studies and practical field.
There is no other area that gives importance to definitions as much as scientific disciplines that are
systematized by the Qur'an. Religious sciences have acted from the definition while basing their principles and
elements. The majority of conflicts arise from definitions. There was not much controversy in the definitions
made in transplant science. Therefore, there is not much controversy in definitions in the science of reading;
because reading science is a transplant dominant area in size. It is before the Quran as a dictionary. By
