Praise be to Allah, peace and blessings be upon the most honorable of the prophets and messengers, and then: This research is submitted for the attainment of M.A. degree in Al-Keraat specialization, and it is entitled:" Fath al-Majeed al-Murshid Lidwal al-Qasid" of Imam Abu al-Alaa Edrees Ibn Muhammad Ibn Ahmad Al-Shareef, who died in A.H. The book is a mention of the three readings, according to the arrangement of qura'n, and the evidences of "Al-Durrah Al-Muḍiyah Fi Keraat Al-Thalath".
The research is composed of: An introduction, a preface, two sections, a conclusion, and indexes.
The introduction: It comprises the following: Importance of the subject, reasons of its selection, aims of the research, previous studies, research proposal, and approach of investigation.
The preface: It includes two parts: The first is a brief interpretation of the three readers and their ranks, and the second specifies works in demonstrating the evidences of "Al-Shatbeyya", "Al-Durrah", and "Al-Tayyeba", and the methods of their authors.
The first section: The study, including two chapters: The first, study the author, and the second: study the book.
The second section: The investigation.
The conclusion: It includes the main findings and recommendations.
The main findings are the following:
1 - The book:" Fath al-Majeed al-Murshid Lidwal al-Qasid" is considered -up till now- the first book that was authored about the evidences of "Al-Durrah Al-Muḍiyah". – 2-The favor belongs -after Almighty Allah- to Abu al-Alaa Al-Manjara, as he was the first to incorporate Al-Keraat (readings) into "Al-Durrah", "Al-Tahbeer", and "Al-Nashr" in Morocco, and was also the first to publish the doctrines of Ibn Al-Jazari in reading, performance, and combining readings.
The recommendations:
1 - I recommend the study and investigation of handwritten versions of the books of Imam Edrees Al-Manjara, especially the classification of his sheikhs, due to their representation of a great scientific value as they comprise Mugharabi and oriental approaches. Finally, I concluded the research by several indexes for further benefit.
