Nevertheless, not until the early second century of Hijriyah did its distribution to various other parts of the Islamic world begin. The qiraath was taught  from generation to generation till the epoch of Imam of qirâah. Majmaul Buhus (Research Institute) of Al-Azhar, Cairo, in its congress dated 20-27th  April, 1971, had decided that qiraah al-Quran was tauqifiy (Devine ordain) deriving from ruwat al-mutawatirah. For this reason, the congress recommended that the Islamic states not recite the Quran using one kind of qiraâah only, that is riwayat hafsh version. The purpose was to preserve other qiraah from its extinct.Kata Kunci: Riwayat warsy, qiraah al-Qurâan, farsyul huruf
