Meaning: the book · Also translated as: a Book, Book
الكتب: ضم أديم إلى أديم بالخياطة، يقال: كتبت السقاء، وكتبت البغلة: جمعت بين شفريها بحلقة، وفي التعارف ضم الحروف بعضها إلى بعض بالخط، وقد يقال ذلك للمضموم بعضها إلى بعض باللفظ، فالأصل في الكتابة: النظم بالخط لكن يستعار كل واحد للآخر، ولهذا سمي كلام الله- وإن لم يكتب- كتابا كقوله: الم ذلك الكتاب
قوله تعالى: ﴿ألم ذلك الكتاب﴾ [البقرة: 1 - 2] الكتاب -في الأصل- مصدر كتب أي جمع. قال تعالى: ﴿كتاب الله عليكم﴾ [النساء: 24] أي: كتب ذلك عليكم كتابا كقوله: ﴿صنع الله﴾ [النمل: 88] ثم يطلق على المكتوب كقولهم: خلق الله، وضرب الأمير، وأنشد: [من الطويل]

Surah Al-Baqarah, verse 2:176It is not righteousness That ye turn your faces Towards East or West; But it is righteousness— To believe in God And the Last Day, And the Angels, And the Book, And the Messengers; To spend of your substance, Out of love for Him, For your kin, For orphans, For the needy, For the wayfarer, For those who ask, And for the ransom of slaves; To be steadfast in prayer, And practice regular charity; To fulfil the contracts Which ye have made; And to be firm and patient, In pain (or suffering) And adversity, And throughout All periods of panic. Such are the people Of truth, the God-fearing.
Surah Al-Baqarah, verse 2:177Mankind was one single nation, And God sent Messengers With glad tidings and warnings; And with them He sent The Book in truth, To judge between people In matters wherein They differed; But the People of the Book, After the clear Signs Came to them, did not differ Among themselves, Except through selfish contumacy.

Surah Al-Baqarah, verse 2:213When ye divorce Women, and they fulfil The term of their (’Iddat), Either take them back On equitable terms Or set them free On equitable terms; But do not take them back To injure them, (or) to take Undue advantage; If any one does that, He wrongs his own soul. Do not treat God's Signs As a jest, But solemnly rehearse God's favours on you, And the fact that He Sent down to you The Book And Wisdom, For your instruction. And fear God, And know that God Is well acquainted With all things.
Surah Al-Baqarah, verse 2:231There is no blame On you if ye make An offer of betrothal Or hold it in your hearts.

And know that God Knoweth what is in your hearts, And take heed of Him; And know that God is Oft-forgiving, Most Forbearing.

And they say: "We hear, and we obey: (We seek) Thy forgiveness, Our Lord, and to Thee Is the end of all journeys."
Surah Al-Baqarah, verse 2:285It is He Who sent down To thee (step by step), In truth, the Book, Confirming what went before it; And He sent down the Law (Of Moses) and the Gospel (Of Jesus) before this, As a guide to mankind, And He sent down the Criterion (Of judgment between right and wrong).
Surah Ali 'Imran, verse 3:3He it is Who has sent down To thee the Book: In it are verses Basic or fundamental (Of established meaning); They are the foundation Of the Book: others Are allegorical.
