WHAT IS AL QURAN
Etymology is viewed in terms of the linguistic , the Qur'an is derived from the Arabic meaning " read " or " something to read over and over ." Says the Qur'an is the noun ( Masdar ) from qara'a verb meaning to read . The concept of the application of this word can also be found on one letter of the Qur'an itself, that in verses 17 and 18
Surah Al -Qiyamah which means :
"I collect the Qur'an ( in your chest ) and ( set ) reading ( on the tongue ) is Ours . ( Therefore, ) if we have read it , you must follow the practice reading " .( 75:17-75:18 )
And Terminology, Dr . Subhi Al Salih Al -Qur'an defines as follows:
" Word of God which is the sign that was revealed to Prophet Muhammad, and written in the Mushaf and narrated by consecutively , read , including worship " .
As Muhammad Ali ash- Shabuni define the Qur'an as follows:
" Qur'an is the word of God to none, revealed to Prophet Muhammad SAW closing of the Prophets and Apostles , by the hand of the angel Gabriel and written on the copies are collected and then delivered to us consecutively , as well as reading and studying is a religious duty , which starts from the Al -Fatihah and closed with a letter of an- Nas "
Kalamullah
The Qur'an is the word of , Allah ta'ala . It is not the words of man . Not that the words of the jinn , or angels syaithan . It absolutely did not come from the mind of creatures, not poetic , not magic , nor are they a product of contemplation or the result of human philosophical thought . This is emphasized by Allah in the Qur'an An- Najm letter verse 3-4 :
" ... Nor does he say it ( the Qur'an ) according to the will desires . Indeed it is nothing but revelation that is revealed ( to him ) ... "
An- Najm verses 3-4
About the sanctity and uniqueness of the Qur'an and see the testimony of an objective Abul Walid joins other literature on the Prophet:
" I've never heard a word of it as beautiful . That's not a poem , not magic , nor the words of enchantment . Indeed, the Qur'an is like a tree whose leaves are lush , terhujam roots into the ground . Ordering words sweet and savory heard. That's not human words , it is high and no one can handle it. "
Such statements Abul Walid.
Miracles
Miracles that means an incredible thing , people will not be able to make it because it was outside its scope . Signs were granted to the prophets and apostles with the purpose of strengthening the prophethood and apostleship , as well as a proof that religion brought by them is really from Allah Ta'ala .
The Qur'an is the greatest miracle of Muhammad . His miracle that between them lies in fashahah and balaghah her , the beauty of the arrangement and style of language that is unparalleled . Because that is the style Khatthab Umar Islam after listening to the Qur'an Thaha initial letter read by his sister Fatima . Abul Walid , had rushed home so listen to a few sentences from the letter Fushshilat .
Because so high language of the Qur'an , it is impossible that man can make similar arrangements , let alone match. People who doubt the truth of the Qur'an as the word of God is challenged by God:
" And if you ( still ) in doubt about the Quran which We reveal unto Our slave ( Muhammad ) make a letter ( only) the semisal Al -Qur'an and call your witness beside Allah if ye are it's true . "
(Surah Al - Baqarah: 23 )
God himself later confirmed that there will never be one who is able to respond to this challenge ( Surah 2 : 24 ) . Even if working jinn and mankind to make it, will not be willing (Qur'an 17: 88 ) .
In addition, the supremacy of the Qur'an is also located on the contents. See , up until now the Qur'an is the primary source for researchers in the social sciences , science , language , or other sciences .
According to Miftah Faridl , many verses of the Qur'an relating to science to convince us that the Qur'an is the word of God, not man-made possible , let alone the creation of the unlearned Prophet ( 7 : 158 ) living at the beginning of the sixth century AD ( 571-632 m )
Various news about the past supernatural ( of power in Egypt, the state Saba , Thamud, and ' Ad , Joseph , Solomon , David , Adam , Moses , etc.) and even the future of the other evidence miracle Qur'an. Meanwhile, if we look at the scope of the material and saw that the Qur'an is covering all aspects of life : the problem of faith , worship, community law , ethics, morality and politics , there is in it .
Al - Munazzalu 'ala Muhammad Qalbi
The Qur'an was revealed to the Prophet Muhammad's specialty . While the word of God revealed to the prophets besides Muhammad , as the Torah was revealed to Moses or the Gospel revealed to Jesus , can not be named and is referred to as the Qur'an . Similarly Hadith Qudsi can not be equated with the Qur'an .
Qur'an Allah Ta'ala revealed to the Prophet Muhammad in different ways :
Be a good dream when he sleep. Sometimes revelation brought by the angel Gabriel to resemble the human form of men, and gives the word ( God's word ) to him .
Sometimes angels bearing the revelation manifested itself in the form of the original ( angel form ) , and revealed God's words to him.
Sometimes it is a ding-dong revelation . This means that most of the weight he feels .
Sometimes inspiration comes not by the hand of an angel, but received directly from the Presence of God Himself.
Once the revelation he received on the seventh heaven directly from the Presence of God Himself.

It then gathers the writing of the Qur'an from the leaf , sheath dates, rock , hard soil , goat and camel bone or from friends who memorized the Qur'an .
In an effort to build the Qur'an , Zaid bin Thabit, working very carefully. Even if he had memorized the whole Qur'an , but still looked to match hafalannya by rote or note other friends witnessed by two witnesses . Further, the Qur'an written by Zaid bin Thabit, in the pages of the bound with thread , arranged in order of the verses as set Messenger .
At the time of Uthman happened deviation of Mushaf Al -Quran , which is related to spelling , qiraat and orderly arrangement of the letters. Therefore, the proposed Hudhaifah bin Yemen , Uthman immediately formed a special committee led by Zaid bin Thabit, Abdullah bin Zubair of up to Saad bin Abdurrahman bin Harith Ash and bin Hisham to have standardization with reference to the pages of the Qur'an written on the caliph Abu Bakr kept by Hafsah , the wife of the Prophet.
Al -Qur'an published by this committee was renamed " Al - Mushaf " and made five functions . A fruit stored in Medina - called " Mushaf Al -Imam " - and the rest is sent to Mecca , Syiria , Basra and Kufa. Meanwhile pages of the Quran that were written before the project to destroy the Muslims in order to unite in one Mushaf, a reading , and an orderly arrangement of the letters.
