Syntax, morphology, linguistics and exegeses of the Quran are considered the basis for Tawjeeh Al-Qiraat (interpretation of the variations between Quranic Qira'at). However some grammatical rules were found contradicted with some Qira'at (modes of reading) and thus some syntacticians critiqued these Qira'at and questioned their authenticity. The purpose of this paper is to examine authenticity of these Qira'at on the one hand and the reasons why syntactician had critiqued these Qira'at. It also attempts to show which of the two schools of Arabic syntax were much critical to these Qira'at. The researcher followed an analytical approach by tracing the grammatical aspects in Qira'at which have been critiqued by syntacticians and the way in which such criticism has been dealt with by scholars of Qira'at. The study indicates that Qira'at must be followed as they were revealed no matter whether or not they correspond with Arabic spontaneous pronunciation and common syntactic rules. Scholars of Qira'at proved that all the Qira'at that were critiqued by syntacticians are robust; however, they do not correspond to the school of syntax these linguists advocate. Moreover, Basri scholars were much more critical of these Qira'at because they elaborated in citing these Qira'at paying little attention to their authenticity. Although these linguists were critical to these Qira'at, they cited them in great deal in their books.

Those who slander the Holy Qur'an have methods and paths in order to bring suspicions about the Noble Qur'an and its sciences and to make people question it, and here lies the problem of the research, which aims to show the responses of the scholars, may Allah Almighty have mercy on them, including Imam Ibn Qutayba, the showing of his defense against the allegations made about the alleged grammatical mistakes in the Holy Qur'an. This research is based on the analytical approach, which traces the points where Ibn Qutayba triumphs over slanders and their readings. As a result of this research, the Holy Qur'an did not prove any grammatical mistakes or errors in it. If a mistake occurred from one of the writers of the Qur'an, it is the fault of the writer, and there is no mistakes in the Qur'an. It also became clear that grammar, poetry, and syntax are among the ways of responding to the slanders of the Qur'an according to Ibn Qutaybah, and that his book, "TA'WEL MUSHKAL ALQURAN", is considered an important book in making triumph for the Qur'an and answering the claims of the slanderers
