Naẓarīyat ʻUlūm al-Qurʼān ladá Ibn Barakah min khilāl Kitābihi al-Jāmiʻ - ʻAdawī, Khamīs ibn Rāshid; al-Muʼtamar al-Duwalī al-Sādis bi-Mālīziyā: al-Dawr al-ʻUmānī fī Khidmat al-Qurʼān al-Karīm wa-ʻUlūmihi (2019) (Kuwālā Lumbūr) (Kuwālā Lumbūr : Markaz Dhākirat ʻUmān, 2019)
A study of the Omani juristic heritage reveals within it an abundant store of material on the subjects of the Qurʾanic sciences. On scholarly grounds the researcher holds that a theory of the Qurʾanic sciences took shape in the work of Abū Muḥammad Ibn Barakah al-Bahlawī (fourth century AH), dispersed through his book al-Jāmiʿ, and that this is among the most important of the Omani contributions to the service of the Book of God. The paper seeks to reveal the content of this theory and to test the extent of its existence: does what is found in al-Jāmiʿ in fact constitute a theory, and what is a theory in the first place? And why al-Jāmiʿ of Ibn Barakah rather than other Omani books? It treats the principal elements that form its features, beginning with the descent of revelation and its modes.
