The Holy Qur’an is one of the heavenly books that Muslims believe in, and it is the holy word of God that was revealed to the Messenger of Allah Muhammad (may Allah’s peace and blessings be upon him) and it is the first source of legislation for Muslims, and it has been transmitted to us frequently in memorization and writing,
but what is the reason for naming the Qur’an by this name? And what are its characteristics and status? In this article, we review Information about the Holy Quran with more explanation and clarification.
What is the definition of the Qur’an linguistically and idiomatically
Referring to the dictionaries of the language, the Qur’an is derived from the article of the verb read, and means understanding, contemplating, learning, understanding, we say, I read the thing Qur’an, ie collected to each other,
and Abu Obeida says: It was called the Qur’an because it collects the surahs and includes them, and God Almighty has said: (We have to collect it and its Qur’an) as the Almighty said: (If you read the Qur’an) any recitation of its verses one after another until they meet each other, and then it is similar to the meaning of annexation, collection, and authorship.
The Qur’an idiomatically is the word of Allah revealed to Muhammad peace be upon him with its word and meaning and transmitted frequently, and recorded in the Qur’an and opened Surat Al-Fatihah and ending with Surat Al-Nas, which is the word of Allah, that is, it is different from the words of the rest of creation, and it is a revelation from God, that is, some of it was revealed to creation, and some of it was singled out for the other.
The Qur’an was revealed to our Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him), like all the heavenly books revealed to other prophets, and it is transmitted frequently, that is, it was transmitted to us through Jibreel (peace be upon him), then to the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) and then to the Companions (may Allaah be pleased with them),
and it was compiled during the reign of Abu Bakr Al-Siddiq (may Allaah be pleased with him), and it was compiled by Othman bin Affan (may Allaah be pleased with him) in one Qur’an and in one language.
The reason why this name calls the Qur’an
The Qur’an was called by this name because it combines and composes the surahs and includes them, as it carried with it stories, lessons, news of the first two, rulings that are forbidden and permissible, their commands and prohibitions, paradise and hell, promise, and threat, as well as bringing the verses together and the surahs to each other.
This name calls the Qur’an because it collects surahs and verses, the origin of the word indicates the collection, authorship, and annexation, Zubaidi said in the crown of the Bride: read the thing, that is, collect it and include it, and I read the thing Qur’an, that is, I collected it and joined it together, and the meaning of I read the Qur’an is that it is a group.
The first name was given to the Book of Allah
The first name given to the book of God is the Qur’an, which is a word derived from the verb, century as if we say I associated the thing with the thing, and it is also taken from the villages, i.e. generosity,
as the Qur’an is derived from the verb Mahmouz, read, read, in the sense of understanding, contemplating, understanding, learning, as well as comes in the sense of worship, hermitage, and read comes in the sense of bearing because it is a heavy saying, the Almighty has said (We will throw a heavy saying on you) and the meaning: Carry this Quran home.
Characteristics of the Noble Qur’an and its importance
The Qur’an is the heavenly book that promises the conclusion of all the heavenly messages, and it has specialized in many characteristics that made it the most important message, and this is a statement of these characteristics:
The Quran is preserved in the hearts before the lines
and then it is preserved from distortion, distortion, increase, and decrease, God, has taken – Almighty – saved from loss, and the Almighty has said: (We have revealed the remembrance and we are his keepers).
The Qur’an intercedes for its companions
it comes on the Day of Resurrection as an intercessor for the slave with his Lord, so Abu Umamah (may Allah be pleased with him) reported that the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: “Read the Qur’an, for it will come on the Day of Resurrection as an intercessor for its companions.”
The last of the heavenly books dominated until the Hour
the Almighty said: (And we revealed to you the Book of Truth, believing what is in his hands from the Book and dominating it) What he agreed with is the truth, and what he violated is false, abrogated or distorted.
It is miraculous
God has challenged him to come like him if they are honest, the Almighty said: (Say that if mankind and the jinn met to come with such a Qur’an, they do not come like it, even if they were each other at noon).
Eloquence
beauty and grandeur in style, meaning, and connotation.
It has a lot of semantics
When you recite it more than once, you derive new connotations from it, and no matter how much you repeat it, you will never get bored.
There is no doubt about it
it is the absolute truth, the clear book that is beyond doubt, and all that it contains is true and true, whether it contains incidents and stories of other nations or what is present in the conditions of people or what comes in the future, there is nothing in it that contradicts itself and no news in it that clashes with others, and does not contradict the history of the former.
Allah Almighty said: (That book is undoubtedly a guide for the pious) [Baqarah: 2]
Easy to memorize
the Almighty said: (We have facilitated the Qur’an for remembrance, so is it from Madkar) [Al-Qamar: 17] It is preserved in the breasts before the lines, and easy in its recitation and memorization, and it has signs of miracles, which makes it dominant in the hearts of believers.
The status of the Holy Quran
The virtue of the deeds by which the slave approaches God is the recitation of the Holy Qur’an because of its beauty, miracle, honesty, and truth, and that it has sweetness, and that it sweetness, if the existence of man is accompanied by the presence of the soul, mind, and heart, the existence of a Muslim does not occur without the Qur’an, it is healing, food and light in the darkness of the road.
There is no doubt that the status of the Holy Qur’an is not hidden from anyone, what is contained in it of news, lessons, and stories of the conditions of the former nations, and the conditions of the nations to come, makes it in a position not reached by another heavenly book, it is the judgment among people with its verses hinges, what abandoned him is only humiliation, and what guided others but strayed.
There is no book in the history of all mankind that has received the status of the Holy Qur’an, and there is no book that has been read as the Book of God has been read, and it is enough for Muslims to have honor and pride that the Qur’an is the word of the Lord of the worlds, which was revealed to His faithful Messenger, the Master of the Messengers, in a clear Arabic tongue.
