Definition of Brah
Al-burhân: the explanation of proof.
It is a noun of the form 'fu'lân' like 'rujhân' and 'thunyân'.
Some say it is the masdar of 'barhana' (he proved).
Allah says: 'Say: Bring your proof (burhânakum)' (Al-Baqara: 111), and: 'Here is a proof (burhân) from your Lord' (An-Nisâ': 174).
Al-burhân is the decisive and clear proof that leaves no doubt.
And they say, "None will enter Paradise except one who is a Jew or a Christian." That is [merely] their wishful thinking, Say, "Produce your proof, if you should be truthful."
Or have they taken gods besides Him? Say, [O Muhammad], "Produce your proof. This [Qur'an] is the message for those with me and the message of those before me." But most of them do not know the truth, so they are turning away.
God and His angels shower their blessings on the Prophet. O believers, you should also send your blessings on him, and salute him with a worthy greeting.
