ŠKOLE KIRAETA U AL-ANDALUSU
THE QUR’AN-RECITING SCHOOLS IN ALANDALUS

Summary/Abstract: Until the end of the 4th century AH, the art of Qur’an reciting was not so developed in Al-Andalus. Such state was greatly improved after return of the first generations of students from Egypt where they had studied this discipline. Thanks to their work and reputation in the south (Cordoba, Seville) and east (Denia, Valencia, Shatiba, Almeria) parts of Al-Andalus, the prestige schools of Qur’an reciting were established. Among the professors of Qur’an reciting there were some women teachers who thought even the male students. The works of Al-Andalus Qur’an reciting teachers on the subject matter were later widely accepted I other parts of Islamic world. Although they have experienced numerous comments, adaptations and amendments during the course of time, these works even today are being used as the unavoidable textbooks in studying this discipline in Bosnia and Herzegovina as well as in other parts of Islamic world.
