The Qur'an is the revelation of Allah SWT sent down to the Prophet Muhammad, to be a guide of human life. In the history since the time of revelation until now, the Qur'an is always read, studied and memorized by Muslims every day, this fact proves the achievement of the purpose of naming the Qur'an (mashdar form of the word qara'a which means "reading") . The naming of the Qur'an shows that this holy book has always been preserved in the form of recitation and recitation by the qurra 'wal huffazh since the time of the Prophet until now, even in this modern age the Qur'an is increasingly preserved in the form of cassettes, CDs, etc.In accordance with the development of this modern era, then the ways of studying the Qur'an is also more advanced as well, including ways to learn to read it. If in the time of the Prophet and the companions in reading and writing the Qur'an did not experience significant difficulties, because the Qur'an is derived in Arabic itself, but after Islam developed into various corners of the world that most do not use Arabic, start the scholars of the Qur'an think of how to make Muslims who are not good at Arabic can read the Qur'an properly and correctly. Appears Imam As-Suyuthi created a method of studying the Qur'an reading under the name "Qaidah Bagdadiyah" which for hundreds of years was used by Muslims to learn to read the Qur'an. In Indonesia, around the year 1985-an emerging ustadz H. As'ad Humam of Jogyakarta created a new method called "Iqra" with 6 Volume.
