This research aims to prove that the authentic qir?’?t (Qira'at Mutawatira) is revealed from All?h Almighty and to refute the criticisms and objections made regarding the Qir?-ah (recitations) of Hamzah, Ibn' Amir, and Al-Kisai. It also seeks to clarify these criticisms to prevent those who might use them as a weapon to attack the upright religion and its clear revelation. The importance of the research lies in raising awareness about the prohibition of preferring one of the authentic qir?’?t over another after they have been transmitted by the Im?ms chosen by the Muslim community. The ten chosen Im?ms were selected not only because of their mastery of these recitations but also because of their expertise in interpreting, explaining, and justifying them. There is no room for comparison in the authentic qir?’?t with anything external, even if they differ in any measure or rule. Once a Qir?-ah is proven authentic and widely transmitted, there is no rejection or weakening of it, and it must be believed as part of the Qur'an. This research relies on the inductive method to collect the topic's elements by referring to the most famous books of well-known scholars who focused on the issue of the authentic qir?’?t. It also relies on the descriptive-analytical method to analyze the texts and clarify the rules and principles established by the Im?ms of the qir?’?t. The research concludes with several findings, the most important of which are: the authentic qir?’?t are revealed from All?h and have been preserved from any harm, as All?h has taken it upon Himself to protect His noble Book, as He says in the clear verse: "Indeed, it is We who have sent down the Qur'an, and indeed, We will be its guardian." The researcher recommends conducting further studies and research to respond to those who criticize the Qur'an.
