Role of Wakf & Ibtidâ in the Understanding of the Qur’anic Verses

Journal Title: Marife Dini Araştırmalar Dergisi - Year 2015, Vol 15, Issue 2

Abstract

The issue of Waqf and Ibtida has an important place in Quran sciences and is a matter of great importance in the context of reading the Qur’an regarding both the text and meaning. The term "waqf" refers to pausing the reading and breathing where the meaning integrity is completed and "ibtida" is starting the reading from the place that suits the proper meaning. Both terms have an important role in the commentary of Qur’an and uncovering the meaning and purpose of the Qur’anic text. If waqf (pausing the reading where appropriate) and ibtida (continuing the reading from the most appropriate place) is not practiced correctly, this may change or even corrupt the meaning of the verse. The science of Waqf and Ibtida which is important for recitation as well as for the interpretation of the Qur’an, has an effective role in many aspects of the Qur’anic commentary, including the authentic interpretation of the faith, a firmly determination of legal rulings and revealing the true meaning of the Qur’an. This article will attempt to put forward the relation of Waqf and ibtida with the meaning of Qur’anic verses. In this regard, first, we will discuss the concepts and classifications that are relevant to the topic, and then the importance of Waqf and Ibtida and its effect on meaning with examples from Qur’anic verses.
