This dissertation aims to know the reasons of deterioration of the female students, in the studies department, in reciting and intonation of the Holy Quran. However, I noted this phenomena while I was lecturing in the same department. Then I decided to carry out this study to assess the reasons and to recommend the solutions, because it is very important for the student in the department to read the HOLY QURAN correctly according to the well known provisions of reciting /intonation. No doubt, graduating skilled and well trained student in reciting /intonation of the Holy Quran, will secure a good student at General Education Level, since she is going to teach the same subject. The research has been arranged into four chapters. The first chapter was assigned for the theoretical aspect of the study. The second chapter for the literary framework, concentrating on the importance of learning reciting/intonation of the Holy Quran for the Muslim to read it correctly. The third chapter is for the study procedures. To approve the findings of the study, a sample / segment of students interviewed through scale questionnaire, to get the primary data and to arrange the arbitration procedures and verifying the sample and its constancy. The research's tool was questionnaire. The last chapter was assigned for statistic treatment of the primary data and discussion of the assumptions that support the findings. The student's weakness in reading the Holy Quran correctly according to the well-known provisions of reciting/ intonation is due the following reasons; 1) Student's personal reasons; she doesn't care to improve her skills on reciting /intonation of the Holy Quran. 2) The students didn't get an efficient education on reciting/intonation of the Holy Quran at the general education level, since the unskilled teachers give the student high grades that doesn't match their true level in reciting / intonation of the Holy Quran. 3) The students weren't influent in Arabic language, this is also due the PREVIOUS General Education. 4) The officials of education increased the number of the students in the class regardless of the nature of the subject the requirements of educational environment and appointed unskilled teachers. 5) The students didn't encourage/ follow up by their families to memorize the provisions of reciting/intonation of the Holy Quran. I suggest solutions of the above findings; to give more attention to the subject, specially by the officials, such introducing the new technological means /media, teaching labs, giving additional lessons at the mosque, introducing a new strategies of the recently called the cooperation education by allowing the full skilled student to teacher the others, hold competition and giving prizes to the students who improved themselves in reciting the Holy Quran. Mobilization of the family to follow up their daughters and to encourage them. (Published abstract)
