Qira’at is the basic knowledge about reading Al-Quran with various way in reciting by the imams and narrators based on qira’at mutawatirah either seven qira’at or ten qira’at. This reading is narrated from generation to generation by companions from the prophet Muhammad SAW by reciting it as known as talaqqi from from the beginning. This study discusses on the views of the orientalists which totally deviated and confused the Muslim to accept the truth by disputing this qira’at reading as a mutawatir level reading from the prophet Muhammad SAW. These views of the orientalists will be evaluated based on that arguments by the qira’at scholars in proving that the authority of qira’at reading is clearly came from the prophet Muhammad SAW without any doubt. The results of this study prove that the orientalist views are totally based on opinions which not related with any fact of qira’at and history background.
