Arabic semanticists and dialects scholars have paid considerable attention to Qiraat (the plural noun of Qiraah i.e. reading or recitation of the Holy Qur'an) and they often cite examples of irregular Quranic Qiraat in their rules and reasoning. However, many Qur'anic scholars may not be adequately aware of the significant impact of Quranic Qiraat on semantics as well as their role in preserving dialects of the Arab tribes. This paper aims to show the impact of irregular Qiraat on Arabic lexical semantics and Arabic dialects by tracking some examples of irregular Qiraat and examining how they preserved the Arabic dialects. The research adopted the analytical method in tracking the lexical features in irregular Qiraat and identifying the semantic differences between such lexical items in different Qiraat on the one hand and cite some examples from Qiraat that enriches meaning on the other. The findings indicate that irregular Qiraat are fundamental for standardizing linguistic rules. It is also found that irregular Qiraat has corroborated with several Arabic dialects and that is why Qiraat were in line with the Arab dialects during the era of Prophet Mohammed.

Many irregular Qiraat used to be accepted in terms of attribution and content but they become irregular following the standardization of rules of accurate Qiraah. While some may believe that we need to abandon irregular Qiraat altogether Like Imam Razi and Imam Ibn al-Arabi (i.e. not to recognize them as reliable sources for syntactic standardization). This purpose of this paper Actually the paper Reviews Correlation Between Irregular Qiraat and Arabic Linguistics In The Quranic Tafseer Book By Al-Razi By providing some example to show the extent to which irregular Qirraht can be uses an authoritative source in Arabic grammar on the one hand and the impact of irregular Qiraat on those grammatical rules. It also seeks to identify the relationship between Arabic phonetics and the other branches of Arabic linguistics. The researcher adopted an analytical approach by means of which We examined the Qur'anic Tafsser book by Al-Razi and tacked the instances of irregular Qiraat by looking into their phenetic, morphological and semantic levels. The study reveals several findings: the research suggests that both irregular and Mutawatir Qiraah can be used as authoritative sources in all branches of linguistics. The findings also suggest that some Arabic morphological and syntactic rules are influenced by irregular Qiraah due to the fact that irregular Qiraat served to preserve Arabic grammatical rules. Moreover, the findings indicate that there is such an intimate connection between Arabic phonology and the other branches of Arabic linguistics.

Abstrak: Secara umumnya, kesalahan dalam tilawah al-Quran terbagi kepada dua bahagian yaitu kesalahan Jaliyy atau nyata dan kesalahan Khafiyy atau tersembunyi. Kedua-dua kesalahan ini bisa merusak bacaan, mengurangkan kesempurnaan bacaan, tiada ketartilan dalam bacaan al-Quran dan membawa kepada pengurangan markah dalam majelis tilawah al-Quran. Kesalahan dalam bacaan al-Quran melibatkan aspek fasahah, suara, tarannum, dan tajwid. Oleh itu, bacaan al-Quran yang sempurna adalah bacaan yang kurang kesalahan daripada ciri-ciri yang disebutkan tadi. Dengan mengenal pasti kesalahan tersebut dapat dijadikan garis panduan secara khusus bagi qari dan qariah yang hendak membaca al-Quran.
