<![CDATA[The majority of Muslim scholars have agreed that al- QirÄ’Ät al-Sab῾ or al- QirÄ’Ät al-‘Asyr is a á¹£aḥῑḥah (valid) and acceptable qirÄ’Ät. The variety in reading the Qur’an is believed to be part of al-Aḥruf al-Sab῾ah which was revealed to the Prophet Muhammad SAW. In contrast to this view, Muḥammad SyaḥrÅ«r had analysed various kinds of qirÄ’ah through contemporary reading. SyaḥrÅ«r indicated that there was an error that occured when giving syakal and i῾rÄb to the texts of al-Tanzá¿‘l al-Ḥaká¿‘m the HolyQur’an. He justified that the error was ocured due to human error which then contributed greatly to the emergence of different pronunciation in the future. This study examines the perspective of Syahrur towards qirÄ’Ät, in which researcher have found that SyaḥrÅ«r’s perspective about qirÄ’Ät is only assumption with lack of scientific evidence. SyaḥrÅ«r has missed several aspects within his study towards parts of qirÄ’ah, for example the strict sanad lines through the history of a qirÄ’ah which was obtained through analytic descriptive and historical methods. There is also found that SyaḥrÅ«r’s opinion was influenced by perspective of Western scholars (orientalists) who also doubted the authenticity of qirÄ’Ät, even though he did not explain this.Keywords: Muhammad Shahrur, qira’at, al-ahruf al-sab῾ah, shakl.]]>
