from the root of k-r-y and, accordingly, tended to transiate it as
villagers. Some others claimed that the word is not Arabic in origin
and that it was inserted in the Qur’an at a later time. Thus, they pursued,
it has nothing to do with the QLir’an, even with Religion but
characterizes those who displayed bad habit, inferiority and inde..:
cency. Stili some others, related the word to a number of events in
the early period of Islam and empl!)yed it to ascribe a group of politician, militarist and missionaries. This article, aims to analyze such
kind of critiques, which often contradict the traditional understanding,
raised by Orientalists. At the end, the author concluded that: Peasantry
is a sociological reality, and, in contrast, qurrantry is directly -
linked to the activity of reading directly related to the Qur’an. Thus it
seems to be important to distinguish between the two. As a result,
the word qurra has been understood almost in every period of Islamic
history as standing for those who recite/chant the Qur’an much and
in exact accordance with the reciting rules, those who learned all or
the most part of the Qur’an by heart, those who are experts in various
·versions of reciting the Qur’an, those who were also- equipped
with knowledge from religious other fields, aiıd those who are strict in
performing The Holly Book’s n.ıles in their lives. <br /> </p>}, number={2}, publisher={Sivas Cumhuriyet University}
