The Education of Qur’ān Recitation (Qirā’āt) in Turkey

Summary/Abstract: Qur’ān Recitation (qirā’āt) activities constitute a good part of the Qur’ān education history starting with the revealation of the Qur’ān. In Prophet Muḥammad’s era and after his death, education and teaching activities for spreading the Qur’ān recitations were maintained by muslims. Several institutions were built for this purpose, and many works are written for qirā’āt science education and methods developed made a big contribution to the spreading of qur’ān recitation science. An Interregnum period for qirā’āt science has happened at the last period of Ottomans and first years of Republic of Turkey. Qirā’āt Science, under the state supervision and by formal institutions for many years, were sustained in an informal way after the law on unification of education were introduced. With the decrease of teachers, the education of the Qur’ān recitation faced a difficult time and almost nearly ceased. In our country, increasing of the expertness courses and number of men who trained in this places in recent years deserve a separate study, particularly on this subject.
