of it and a scientific overview, and the study aimed to explain the most important
schools of recitation that were established and built by the kings and princes of
the Banu Rasul in Yemen to teach the recitation.
The methodology of the study was the descriptive approach based on gathering
information from various references and sources.

are: that the Rasulid state was one of the largest Sunni countries that was able to
extend its influence over most parts of Yemen, and they had a role in the scientific
life in Yemen, and they took the most care of the role of science, so they
constructed schools, attached them to book coffers, and established schools.

jurisprudence. In addition to the joint schools, the establishment of schools was
not limited to the sultans of the state, but rather princes, jurists, some ministers

the science of recitation had a role in producing a large number of reciters at that
time.

reading schools in Yemen, printing Yemeni books on the science of readings to
introduce the successors to what the predecessors left for them to contribute to
motivating them so that they follow their example, and enriching Arab offices
with the efforts of Yemenis in building Islamic schools and schools of reading,
