Name of the Arabic composition and the meaning together.
With damma of the first syllable and lengthening: what was sent down to our Messenger, written in the codices, transmitted from him by mutawatir transmission. The verification of this aim is in the usul books of fiqh; if you would verify it word spoken or mental or both, consider the passage, it will heal you if Allah wills. Among the people of truth, the Quran is the unacquired, synthetical science embracing all truths. Al-qir’an, with kasra without lengthening: joining the ’oumra and the hajj with one consecration in one journey. If you regard the stars’ gazes, you will know qir’an is what the astronomers say. If you would number the words, letters of meaning and structure in the noble Quran, consider the harf; its verses’ detail is in the sura, and the suras in the Quran.
The collection. The recited. The reading; in the glorious Revelation: « when We have recited it, follow its recitation » (al-Qiyama 18). It is Allah’s speech, sent down upon His messenger, written in the codex, transmitted from him by mutawatir transmission without a shadow of doubt.
