Summary/Abstract: His real name is Abu Muhammad Abdullah b. Muhammad b. Yusuf b. Abdul Mennan El-Hilmi al-Amasi, or more famously known as Yusuf Efendi Zadeh. He lived in the 18th century (d.1167 \ 1754) during the Ottoman period. He has a great contribution in the development of the Science of Qur’anic Recitations (Qiraat) in the Ottaman State. He has written many importand and fundemantal books in this field of Qiraat. Among his writings are “Al-Raddiyya li Al-Dad Al-Mu’jama”, which is an important piece that reflects the characteristics and attributes of the period he lives in. In this work, he replied to al-Mar’ashi, also known as Sajagli Zadeh on his argument regarding the Pronunciation of the letter "Dad" and its method of recitation. This is due to Sajagli Zadeh’s writing entitled “Kayfiyyatu Adaai Al-Dâd” causing a great polemic and heated discussions among the Ottoman scholars. in return, his view has received many opposition and rejections. Yusuf Effendi Zadeh, founder of Sheikh al-Kurra’ Foundation, had produced a brief writing in order to evaluate the term dâd from the perspective of Qiraat, tajweed, jurisprudence, interpretation (tafsir) and linguistics. This article aims at studying and evaluating the writing of the writing of the Imam of Qiraat, Yusuf Effendi Zadeh, and publishing it for its priceless contribution to the field of Qiraat (Quranic Recitations).
