Abstract: Muslims have from earliest times applied themselves not only to the message from Allah-the Qur’an-but also to its setting and framework, and the preoccupation with these ultimately developed into the sciences of or ‘knowledge’ about the Qur’an, known as “‘Ulumal-Qur’an.†‘Ulum al-Qur’an (Qur’anic Sciences) covers many areas such as asbab al-Nuzul (causes of revelation), the knowledge of Makki and Madani revelations, the knowledge of the various forms (al-Ahruf) it was revealed in, the understanding of its al-Nasikhwa al-Mansukh abrogated rulings and verses, the knowledge of the various classifications of its verses (Muhkam and Mustashabih, ‘Amm (general) and Khass(specific), Mutlaq and Muqayyad among the others).Therefore, the paper attempts to discuss the definition of Qur’anic sciences, Scope of Qur’anic Sciences, Aim and Objectives of Qur’anic Sciences, and Significance of Qur’anic Sciences to the Muslim Ummah. Furthermore, the two concepts that are Al-Ammand Al-Khass among the various topics in the Qur’anic sciences will be discussed extensively under the perception or views of ShaykhAbd Allah BnFoduye.
