that is difficult to understand. The existence of the book "Embracing Ulumul Qur'an" by Ahsin
Sakho Muhammad which is unique, is interesting to study. This article examines Ahsin's work, by
comparing it with the literature of 'ulum Al-Qur'an by Manna' al-Qaththan, which is widely used as a
reference in Al-Qur'an and Tafsir Study Programs, in several universities, both at home and abroad.

Membumikan al-Quran by Ahsin Sakho Muhammad and in the book Mabahits fi 'ulum AlQur'an, by Manna' al-Qaththan, 2) How is the explanation and discussion of Qira'ah and Rasm in
general in these two works? This type of library research seeks to analyze descriptively-comparatively.
The result, concludes the following: First, examines the material related to the 'Ulum Al-Qur'an.
Second, on the material of science Qira'ah and Rasm. The similarity of the works of these two figures is
in describing in general the definitions of the three materials discussed, as well as in citing examples
