Abstract

This research aims to clarify the attributes of the Book mentioned in the Holy Quran. The research arrives at the following conclusions:

In conclusion, the research reached the following conclusions:

1. The term "Book" here is subject to interpretation and judgment, and there is disagreement regarding its meaning. (A clear Book) means that everything is preserved with Him, as if one person were to say to another: "All your deeds are recorded with me."
2. We find that the Clear Book is immutable, unalterable, and unchanging. It is all-knowing, with a knowledge that is constant, like a written record in a clear book from which nothing is hidden.
3. The Wise One is He whose verses are perfected with what is permissible and forbidden, and with rulings. He is the Perfect One, in whom falsehood cannot approach from any direction.
4. Lifespan and sustenance are attributed to God, while disbelief, transgression, faith, and obedience are attributed to the individual.
5. The appointed Book means: the Book with a fixed term, i.e., a Book that clarifies the appointed time of death for every person. 6. The Book of Time means a book with a specific time, and this phrase is used to refer to the prayers that were imposed on Muslims at specific times, meaning that prayer is not just an act of worship, but an obligation restricted to a specific time.
