Summary
This Bayan Linnas explains that linguistically the Quran means gathering and reciting, while technically it is the book revealed by Allah through mutawatir transmission to the Prophet, which is miraculous and rewarded when recited. Among its features are that it is a divine book, preserved, a miracle that neither humans nor jinn can match, easy to understand and suitable for all times. The discussion is meant to respond to a claim by some non-Muslims that 70% of the Quran was taken from stories predating Islam.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Sedangkan ada istilahnya pula ialah kitab yang diturunkan Allah secara mutawatir kepada Nabi SAW yang bersifat mukjizat di mana mendapat pahala jika dibacanya yang terangkum dari awal surah Fatihah hingga akhir surah al-Nas.
