The Languages of the Arabs and Their Relationship to The Qiraat in The Interpretation of Ibn Ajiba

Abstract

The interpretation of Imam Ibn Ajiba is considered one of the most important references that took care of directing the Qur’anic Qiraat that were stated by a number of Arab tribes. The dispute has intensified among the scholars regarding the meaning of the seven modes contained in the consecutive hadith, and in directing those dialects in which the Qur’an was revealed. Ibn Ajiba had a different saying far from what those contradictory statements went to. Therefore, this study aimed to clarify the relationship of the Arabic dialects to the seven modes and the extent of their impact on the Qur’anic Qiraat, and to clarify the statement of Ibn Ajiba regarding the meaning of the seven modes contained in the hadith. The method followed is: The qualitative method: Focusing on collecting information and then discussing it through description and analysis to reach specific results. The study concluded that Ibn Ajiba took care in his interpretation of the guidance of the various Arabic dialects that were mentioned in the Holy Qur’an and their counterparts, which are true in the dialects of the Arabs. And that the Arabic languages, with their various dialects, had a prominent role in the diversity and difference of Qur’anic Qiraat, and Ibn Ajiba’s interest in mentioning and directing them in his interpretation of Al-Bahr Al-Madid was evident. He proved that the difference in the Qur’anic Qiraat is a matter of rhetorical beauty and not a difference of contradiction. Ibn Ajiba also sees that the hadith of the seven modes is enigmatic whose meaning is not understood, similar to the obscure in the Qur’an and the hadith, which is what the researcher favored; Because the large number of differences in the meaning of a thing increases its ambiguity and the lack of clarity of its purpose, and Allah knows best.
