Who was the first person to name our holy book (Qur'an) to be named QUR'AN?
I read from a magazine that it was ABUBEKER (R.A.). But I couldn't
believe! In sura al INSAN verse 23 it says, "We brought (down) to you
the Qur'an" .
Dear brother please give me a clear picture about this.
May Allah help you.
Praise be to Allaah;
You have answered your own question, as it were, because it is Allaah
who gave His Book this name,"Qur'aan."
Allaah says (interpretation of the meaning): "The month of Ramadan in
which was revealed the Qur'aan . . ." [al-Baqarah 2:185] "Do they not
then consider the Qur'aan carefully . . .?" [al-Nisaa' 4:82] "So, when
the Qur'aan is recited, listen toit, and be silent that you may
receive mercy . . ." [al-A 'raaf 7:204] "Verily, Allaah has purchased
of the believers their lives and their properties; for the price that
their shall be Paradise. They fight in Allaah's Cause, so they kill
(others) and are killed. It isa promise in truth which isbinding on
Him in the Tawraat (Torah) and the Injeel (Gospel) and the Qur'aan . .
." [al-Tawbah 9:111] "And this Qur'aan isnot such as could ever be
produced by other than Alaah, but it is a confirmation of (the
revelation) which was before it, and a full explanation of the Book
wherein there is no doubt from the Lord of the 'Aalameen (mankind,
jinn and all that exists)" [Yunus10:37] "Verily, We have sent it down
as an Arabic Qur'aan in order that you might understand" [Yusuf 12:2]
"We relate unto you [Muhammad] the best of stories through Our
Revelations unto you, of this Qur'aan. And before this, you were among
those who knew nothing about it (the Qur'aan)." [Yusuf 12:3] "And
indeed, We have bestowed upon you seven of al-Mathaani (the seven
repeatedly recited verses, i.e. Soorat al-Faatihah) and the
GrandQur'aan." [al-Hijr 15:87]"So when you want to recite the Qur'aan,
seek refuge with Allaah from Shaytaan, the outcast (the cursed one)."
[al-Nahl 16:98] "Verily, this Qur'aanguides to that which is most just
. . ." [al-Israa' 17:9] "And We send down from the Qur'aan that which
is a healing and a mercy to those who believe, and it increases the
zaalimoon (wrongdoers) nothing but loss." [al-Israa' 17:82]"Say: 'If
mankind and the jinns were together to produce the like of this
Qur'aan, they could not produce the like thereof, even if they helped
one another.'" [al-Israa' 17:88]"And (it is) a Qur'aan which We have
divided)into parts), in order that you might recite it to men at
intervals. And We have revealed it by stages." [al-Israa' 17:106] "We
have not sent down the Qur'aan unto you [O Muhammad] to cause you
distress" [Ta-Ha 20:2]"Then High above all be Allaah, the True King.
And be not in haste (O Muhammad) with the Qur'aan before its
revelation is completed to you, and say: 'My Lord! Increase me in
knowledge.'" [Ta-Ha 20:114] "Ta-Seen [These letters are one of the
miracles of the Qur'aan, and none but Allaah (Alone) knows their
meanings]. These are the Verses of the Qur'aan, and (it is) a Book
(that makes things) clear" [al-Naml 27:1] "And verily, you (O
Muhammad) are receiving the Qur'aan from the One, All-Wise,
All-Knowing." [al-Naml 27:6] "Verily, He Who has given you (O
Muhammad) the Qur'aan will surely bring you back to the Ma'aad (place
of return, either to Makkah orto Pradise after your death) . . ."
[al-Qasas 28:85] "By the Qur'aan, fullof wisdom" [Yaa-Seen 36:2] "And
indeed, We have made the Qur'aan easy to understand and remember, then
is there any that will remember (or receive admonition)?" [al-Qamar
54:40] "That (this) is indeed an honourable recital (the Noble
Qur'aan)." [al-Waaqi'ah 56:77] "Had We sent down this Qur'aan on a
mountain, you would surely have seen it humbling itself andrending
asunder by the fear of Allah . . ." [al-Hashr 59:21] "or a little
more; and recite the Qur'aan (aloud) in a slow, (pleasanttone and)
style." [al-Muzzammil 73:4] "Nay!This is a Glorious Qur'aan"
[al-Burooj 85:21].....
