چکیده:

Research on the role of different nations in Islamic sciences is of special importance, especially for that nation itself. Throughout the history of Islam, Iranians have provided many scientific services to various Islamic sciences such as Hadith, Tafsir, Arabic literature, etc. This article with the descriptive-analytical method and by collecting information by library method, seeks to answer the question of what role Iranians played in the science of recitation (Qira’t) and its ups and downs during the First nine centuries (from the beginning of Islam to the revival of the science of recitation (Qira’t) by Ibn Jazari, a century and a half after the Mongol attack)? The history of recitation (Qira’t) in Iran before Islam, the first Iranian teachers of Quranic recitations (Qira’at), the geographical distribution and canvases of Iranian recitation (Qira’t) masters, the presence of Iranians among the seven reciters, the reactions of Iranian scholars to the choice of the seven reciters by Ibn Mujahid and the foundation of the authority of recitations (Qira’at), are some of the issues that are discussed in this the article has been reviewed.
