This research is concerned with the study of the recitation of the Qur’an. It aims to elaborate the methodology applied in
Al-Badi’, Ibn-Khalweih’s book on Qur’anic recitations. It also seeks to give a descriptive account of Al-Badi’, as one of the earlier books on
recitations. The research obviously adopts a descriptive approach. According to the research results, the book’s name is Al-Badi’, and it
presents in brief the well known seven recitation styles in addition to an eighth one, namely that of Ya’qub Ibn-Isshaq. The research
recommends that further studies be conducted on Ibn-Khalaweih, scholarly works in Qur’anic recitation styles and related grammatical
analyses. Also, Al-Badi should be critically investigated so that maximum academic benefits can be attained.
