Abstract

The Quran is a great miracle that was revealed to the Prophet Muhammad, may God bless him and grant him peace, to the point that every letter in the Quran is rewarded for reciting Muslims who believe in it. Reading using the art of melody belongs to a branch of the sciences of the Quran that cannot be separated. When reading the Quran, this art has had a profound impact on the hearts of the nation if it is read with good and correct rules. The art of reciting the Quran existed in the time of the Prophet Muhammad, peace and blessings of God be upon him, and now it has spread throughout the world. There are different names for the art of reciting the Quran, including the science of Quranic maqamat. This science - the science of Quranic maqamat - is also well-known and famous in Indonesia, and there are many Islamic institutes that make the science of maqamat their main curriculum, including the Bait al-Qurra’ Institute in Jakarta. As for the method of teaching the science of the Qur’an, it is diverse and evolves with time until knowing the Qur’an’s positions has become easier for everyone to learn. This research follows the qualitative analytical method by collecting data through personal interviews and referring to original and secondary sources. One of the results of the research is knowledge of the history of Quranic maqam science in the Malay Archipelago, especially Indonesia. Then the readers must not deviate from the rules of intonation and the exits of the letters. Therefore, it is important for readers to improve the rules of tajweed before learning the science of Quranic maqamat.
