Ru'us al-ay (kepala ayat) merupakan tempat yang seringkali para qari menghentikan (waqaf) bacaan al- Quran padanya. Hukum menghentikan bacaan pada ru'us al-ay ini adalah berbeza-beza kerana sebahagiannya merupakan waqaf tam, manakala sebahagian yang lain pula adalah kafi dan hasan, bahkan sebahagian yang lain adalah qabih. Perbezaan hukum waqaf pada ru'us al-ay bertambah rumit apabila para ulama fawasil berbeza pendapat dalam menentukan ru'us al-ay kepada tujuh mazhab dan mazhab-mazhab ini menjadi sandaran muktamad dalam penentuan ru'us al-ay bagi setiap qiraat mutawatirah. Justeru, objektif kajian ini adalah untuk menganalisis ru'us al-ay yang diperselisihkan dalam kalangan ulama fawasil, dengan memberikan fokus kepada ru'us al-ay yang dinilai sebagai waqaf qabih, serta menganalisis sebab berlakunya waqaf qabih tersebut. Kajian ini dijalankan dengan menggunakan kaedah analisis kandungan, dengan mengenalpasti ru'us al-ay yang diperselisihkan oleh ulama cadad, kemudian ia dianalisis dari sudut tatabahasa Arab dan 2 maksud ayat bagi mendapatkan hukum waqaf pada ru'us al-ay tersebut. Dapatan daripada kajian ini mendapati bahawa taburan waqaf qabih ini wujud pada setiap mazhab fawasil, dan ia dinilai sebagai waqaf qabil kerana tidak memberikan sebarang maksud (adam ifadah al’-mana) pada ayat tersebut ketika waqaf. Kepentingan kajian ini dapat dilihat menerusi sumbangannya dalam mengenal pasti waqaf qabil pada ru'us al-ay yang diperselisihkan dalam mazhab fawasil, yang mana ia mempunyai kesan dalam hukum bacaan dan tanda waqaf dalam percetakan mushaf bagi Qira`at al-`Asyr al-Mutawatirah.

This study aims to show how inferences are drawn when the recitations of the Holy Quran are different. The study also explains the effect of this difference on their miraculous purposes. To accomplish these goals, an introduction to basic concepts and terminology, as well as an examination of the aspects of miracles based on differences in recitations and the characteristics of miraculous deductions, are examined. The study utilized the descriptive, analytical, and deductive approaches to show the extent to which the miracle was achieved and highlight the scientific and cognitive aspects in evidence of the miracles of the recitations and the marvels of their systems. The significance of the study lies in the service of the Holy Quran and its recitations in their different aspects and the diversity of their meanings. This study is also important because it explains and directs the meanings deduced from the semantics of the words, standing on the goals of the deductions, which were represented by preserving the mind and preserving honor. The findings concluded that recitations have a significant impact on the agreement of basic features of meanings in eliciting rulings. The differences in the recitation of the Holy Quran indicated the keenness of the Sharia to preserve the mind from vices and intoxicants, preserving honor and its moral purpose. In this way, the nucleus of a civil society will be formed, especially in light of the rule of chaos in the life of human societies .

The science of `adad constitutes an integral part of Quranic-affiliated knowledge. Its main discussion is about the beginning and ending of the verse of the Quran as well as distinction numbering of the verses. There are seven famous opinions in `adad, namely; Madani Awwal, Madani Akhir, Makki, Kufi, Basri, Shami and Himshi. The difference of opinions in the determination of Quranic verses does not only affect the calculation of the total number of verses in the Qur'an, but also contribute to the differences in the nature of mushaf (printed Quran). This is because the scholars have variant views on determining the madhdhab (opinion) of ‘adad relied upon by some qiraat mutawatirah and its riwayah. Thus, this study explores and gathers the views of the scholars in determining the madhdhab (opinion) for respective qiraat mutawatirah, and identify their justifications. This study will then examine the effect of the dispute on mushaf Quran. To achieve the aforementioned objectives, content analysis method was adopted to bring together the views of scholars in determining opinions for each qiraat mutawatirah, and to analyze descriptively the narrations of all opinions to explain the cause of the disagreement among the scholars. In order to know the impact of the differences in `adad on mushaf Quran, induction methods was used on the mushaf Quran which has been printed in several countries with distinctive qiraat mutawatirah. This study finds that the sanad (chain of transmitter) in narrating `adad forms is the contributing factor in dissenting scholars in determining credible opinion for each qiraat mutawatirah. In regards to the printing of mushaf, most of the printed mushafs are aligned with the opinion of scholars in determining the number of the verses, whereas only a few of mushaf which do not comply with such opinion.
