An Evaluative Examination of the Theory of Recitation Abrogation

issue of abrogation (naskh), abrogating (nasikh), and abrogated (mansukh) verses in the Qurʹan is among the significant discourses of the Qurʹanic sciences. One kind of abrogation is the abrogation of talawat (recitation), toward which there are three approaches among the Muslims: the first approach believes in the abrogation of talawat and seeks to prove it relying on traditions as well as rational argumentation. The second approach, which does not regard the traditions about abrogation of talawat as irrevocable, tries to prove the abrogation of talawat through rational argumentation. The third approach has in a well-reasoned way rejected the abrogation of talawat and refused to accept the traditions and the rational argumentations. In the present research, following examining and critically reviewing the evidence of those maintaining the abrogation of talawat, we have concluded that this abrogation of talawat is the outcome of hasty understanding by a number of interpreters and Islamic scholars, past and present, and that perhaps the likelihood of abrogation of talawat can be rationally accepted.
