All 55 Names of the Holy Quran in Arabic

Key Takeaways

Classical scholars documented 55 Quranic names, each revealing a distinct divine attribute or purpose of the Book.

Every name of the Quran appears directly in the Quran itself, making each name a self-referential divine description.

Names like Al-Furqan (The Criterion) and Al-Shifa (The Healing) reveal the Quran’s functional roles in Muslim life.

Understanding these names deepens recitation meaning and strengthens the spiritual connection formed during Quran study.

Scholars such as Al-Qadi Abu al-Ma’ali ‘Azizi ibn Abd al-Malik catalogued these 55 names from verified Quranic sources.

The Quran does not merely describe itself — it names itself, repeatedly and deliberately. Across dozens of verses, Allah ﷻ assigns specific names to His Book, each one revealing a different dimension of its nature, purpose, and status.

Scholars of classical Islamic scholarship gathered these self-designations carefully. Al-Qadi Abu al-Ma’ali ‘Azizi ibn Abd al-Malik documented 55 distinct names, every one drawn directly from the Quran’s own text — making this list not a scholarly opinion, but a catalogue of divine self-disclosure.

1. Al-Kitab (الكتاب) — The Book

The Quran names itself Al-Kitab in Surah Ad-Dukhan, where Allah ﷻ says:

حم ۝ وَٱلْكِتَـٰبِ ٱلْمُبِينِ

Ha Meem. Wal-Kitaabil-Mubeen

“Ha, Meem. By the clear Book.” (Ad-Dukhan 44:1–2)

Al-Kitab denotes a written, preserved, and transmitted record — emphasizing the Quran’s permanence and authoritative completeness.

2. Al-Quran (القرآن) — The Recitation

إِنَّهُۥ لَقُرْءَانٌ كَرِيمٌ

Innahu laqur’aanun kareem

“Indeed, it is a noble Quran.” (Al-Waqi’ah 56:77)

Al-Quran derives from the root qara’a (to recite or read aloud), marking the Book as fundamentally an oral, recited revelation — not merely a written text.

3. Kalam Allah (كلام الله) — The Word of Allah

حَتَّىٰ يَسْمَعَ كَلَـٰمَ ٱللَّهِ

Hatta yasma’a kalaamallah

“Until he hears the words of Allah.” (At-Tawbah 9:6)

This name establishes the Quran’s divine origin with absolute clarity — it is not the speech of a prophet or angel, but the direct Word of Allah ﷻ Himself.

4. Al-Nur (النور) — The Light

وَأَنزَلْنَآ إِلَيْكُمْ نُورًا مُّبِينًا

Wa anzalnaa ilaykum nooram mubeenaa

“And We have sent down to you a clear light.” (An-Nisa 4:174)

Al-Nur captures the Quran’s role as illumination — guiding people out of spiritual darkness through its clear verdicts, moral clarity, and divine wisdom.

In our teaching at Buruj Academy, we begin students’ Quran journeys with the question: “What is the Book you are about to recite?” These names provide the most authoritative answer possible — drawn from the Quran itself.

For students beginning their recitation journey, our Quran Reading Course helps build the foundational skills needed to read these verses with proper articulation and understanding.

5. Al-Huda (الهدى) — The Guidance

هُدًى وَرَحْمَةً لِّلْمُحْسِنِينَ

Hudan wa rahmatan lil-muhsineen

“Guidance and mercy for the doers of good.” (Luqman 31:3)

Al-Huda reflects the Quran’s primary practical function: directing human beings toward right belief, right action, and the straight path to Allah ﷻ.

6. Al-Rahmah (الرحمة) — The Mercy

قُلْ بِفَضْلِ ٱللَّهِ وَبِرَحْمَتِهِۦ

Qul bifadhlillahi wa birahmatihi

“Say: In the bounty of Allah and in His mercy.” (Yunus 10:58)

The Quran is described as mercy itself — not merely a guide toward mercy, but an embodiment of Allah’s ﷻ compassion sent to humanity.

7. Al-Furqan (الفرقان) — The Criterion

تَبَارَكَ ٱلَّذِى نَزَّلَ ٱلْفُرْقَانَ عَلَىٰ عَبْدِهِۦ

Tabaarakal-ladhi nazzalal-furqaana ‘ala ‘abdih

“Blessed is He who sent down the Criterion upon His Servant.” (Al-Furqan 25:1)

Al-Furqan means the distinguisher — separating truth from falsehood, the permissible from the forbidden, and divine guidance from human deviation.

8. Al-Shifa (الشفاء) — The Healing

وَنُنَزِّلُ مِنَ ٱلْقُرْءَانِ مَا هُوَ شِفَآءٌ

Wa nunazzilu minal-qur’aani ma huwa shifaa’

“And We send down of the Quran that which is healing.” (Al-Isra 17:82)

The Quran heals both spiritual diseases — doubt, hypocrisy, arrogance — and serves as a source of barakah (blessing) for physical ailments when recited with sincerity and faith.

9. Al-Maw’izah (الموعظة) — The Admonition

قَدْ جَآءَتْكُم مَّوْعِظَةٌ مِّن رَّبِّكُمْ

Qad jaa’atkum maw’izatum min rabbikum

“There has come to you an admonition from your Lord.” (Yunus 10:57)

Al-Maw’izah describes the Quran’s role as a loving warning — words that soften hearts, awaken consciences, and call souls back from heedlessness.

10. Al-Dhikr (الذكر) — The Remembrance

وَهَـٰذَا ذِكْرٌ مُّبَارَكٌ أَنزَلْنَـٰهُ

Wa haadha dhikrun mubaarakun anzalnaah

“And this is a blessed remembrance which We have sent down.” (Al-Anbiya 21:50)

Al-Dhikr connects the Quran to the act of remembering Allah ﷻ — every recitation is itself an act of worship, making the Quran both a text and a living practice.

11. Al-Karim (الكريم) — The Noble

إِنَّهُۥ لَقُرْءَانٌ كَرِيمٌ

Innahu laqur’aanun kareem

“Indeed, it is a noble Quran.” (Al-Waqi’ah 56:77)

Al-Karim — nobility, generosity, and honor — describes the elevated status of the Quran above all other speech, in both its divine origin and its inexhaustible spiritual benefit.

When a student knows the Quran is Al-‘Aziz (the Mighty) and Al-Karim (the Noble), recitation becomes an act of reverence rather than mechanical repetition. Every rule of Tajweed — every makhraj (articulation point), every ghunnah (nasal sound), every madd (prolongation) — becomes a way of honoring what these names describe.

We regularly observe this shift in our students: those who understand what the Quran is tend to practice Tajweed with greater care and motivation than those who approach it as a phonetic exercise alone. The names provide the “why” behind every rule.

Buruj Academy’s Online Tajweed Classes for Beginners are designed specifically for non-Arabic speakers who want to recite the Quran the way it deserves — with the precision and reverence its names demand, guided by Ijazah-certified instructors and Al-Azhar University graduates.

12. Al-‘Ali (العلي) — The Exalted

وَإِنَّهُۥ فِىٓ أُمِّ ٱلْكِتَـٰبِ لَدَيْنَا لَعَلِىٌّ حَكِيمٌ

Wa innahu fi ummil-kitaabi ladayna la’aliyyun hakeem

“And indeed it is, in the Mother of the Book with Us, exalted and full of wisdom.” (Az-Zukhruf 43:4)

The Quran’s elevated station exists not only on earth but in the divine record — Umm al-Kitab — affirming its pre-eternal nobility.

13. Al-Hikmah (الحكمة) — The Wisdom

حِكْمَةٌۢ بَـٰلِغَةٌ

Hikmatun baaligha

“Wisdom, perfect and complete.” (Al-Qamar 54:5)

Al-Hikmah points to the Quran’s capacity to deliver perfect, mature, and practically applicable wisdom — not abstract philosophy, but guidance that works in real human life.

14. Al-Hakim (الحكيم) — The Wise

الٓر ۚ تِلْكَ ءَايَـٰتُ ٱلْكِتَـٰبِ ٱلْحَكِيمِ

Alif Laam Raa. Tilka aayaatul-kitaabil-hakeem

“Alif, Lam, Ra. These are the verses of the wise Book.” (Yunus 10:1)

Where Al-Hikmah is wisdom as a quality, Al-Hakim names the Quran itself as the wise entity — a Book whose every verse, structure, and arrangement embodies divine wisdom.

15. Al-Muhaimin (المهيمن) — The Overseer

مُصَدِّقًا لِّمَا بَيْنَ يَدَيْهِ مِنَ ٱلْكِتَـٰبِ وَمُهَيْمِنًا عَلَيْهِ

Musaddiqan lima bayna yadayhi minal-kitaabi wa muhaymanan ‘alayh

“Confirming what came before it and as an overseer over it.” (Al-Ma’idah 5:48)

The Quran stands as guardian and judge over all prior scriptures — confirming what remained true in them and correcting what was altered.

16. Al-Mubarak (المبارك) — The Blessed

كِتَـٰبٌ أَنزَلْنَـٰهُ إِلَيْكَ مُبَـٰرَكٌ

Kitaabun anzalnaahu ilayka mubaarak

“A Book which We have sent down to you, blessed.” (Sad 38:29)

Al-Mubarak confirms that the Quran carries barakah (divine blessing) intrinsically — its recitation, study, and presence in a home bring tangible spiritual and worldly benefit.

17. Al-Habl (الحبل) — The Rope

وَٱعْتَصِمُوا۟ بِحَبْلِ ٱللَّهِ جَمِيعًا

Wa’tasimuu bihablillahi jamee’aa

“And hold firmly to the rope of Allah all together.” (Al Imran 3:103)

Al-Habl is among the most vivid Quranic self-descriptions — the Quran as a rope connecting humanity to Allah ﷻ, which when held collectively, prevents division and ensures salvation.

18. Al-Sirat al-Mustaqim (الصراط المستقيم) — The Straight Path

وَأَنَّ هَـٰذَا صِرَٰطِى مُسْتَقِيمًا

Wa anna haadha siraati mustaqeemaa

“And that this is My path, which is straight.” (Al-An’am 6:153)

The Quran is not merely a map to the straight path — it is the straight path itself, the living embodiment of the direction Allah ﷻ has prescribed for human life.

19. Al-Qayyim (القيم) — The Upright

وَلَمْ يَجْعَل لَّهُۥ عِوَجًا ۜ قَيِّمًا

Wa lam yaj’al lahu ‘iwajan qayyimaa

“And has not made therein any crookedness — [making it] straight.” (Al-Kahf 18:1–2)

Classical scholars read this as: “The upright Book, without any deviation” — Al-Qayyim describes the Quran’s absolute integrity, freedom from contradiction, and eternal correctness.

20. Al-Fasl (الفصل) — The Decisive Word

إِنَّهُۥ لَقَوْلٌ فَصْلٌ

Innahu laqawlun fasl

“Indeed, it is a decisive word.” (At-Tariq 86:13)

Al-Fasl — from the root meaning to separate or decide — names the Quran as the final, binding arbiter in all disputes of belief, law, and morality.

21. Al-Naba al-‘Azim (النبأ العظيم) — The Great News

عَمَّ يَتَسَآءَلُونَ ۝ عَنِ ٱلنَّبَإِ ٱلْعَظِيمِ

‘Amma yatasaa’aloon. ‘Anil-naba-il-‘azeem

“About what are they asking one another? About the great news.” (An-Naba 78:1–2)

Many classical commentators identify Al-Naba al-‘Azim as a name for the Quran — the greatest news ever delivered to humanity, surpassing all other information in consequence.

22. Ahsan al-Hadith (أحسن الحديث) — The Best of Speech

ٱللَّهُ نَزَّلَ أَحْسَنَ ٱلْحَدِيثِ

Allaahu nazzala ahsanal-hadeeth

“Allah has sent down the best statement.” (Az-Zumar 39:23)

No human speech, however eloquent, compares to the Quran — Ahsan al-Hadith places it categorically above all literature, philosophy, and poetry in beauty, truth, and effect.

23. Al-Tanzil (التنزيل) — The Sent Down

وَإِنَّهُۥ لَتَنزِيلُ رَبِّ ٱلْعَـٰلَمِينَ

Wa innahu latanzeelu Rabbil-‘aalameen

“And indeed, it is the revelation of the Lord of the worlds.” (Ash-Shu’ara 26:192)

Al-Tanzil emphasizes the process and act of revelation — the Quran was actively sent down, verse by verse, from Allah ﷻ through Jibreel (عليه السلام) over 23 years.

24. Al-Ruh (الروح) — The Spirit

وَكَذَٰلِكَ أَوْحَيْنَآ إِلَيْكَ رُوحًا مِّنْ أَمْرِنَا

Wa kadhalika awhaynaa ilayka roohan min amrinaa

“And thus We have revealed to you a spirit of Our command.” (Ash-Shura 42:52)

The Quran is named Al-Ruh — the spirit — because it gives life to hearts just as a soul gives life to a body. Without the Quran, the heart remains spiritually lifeless.

25. Al-Wahy (الوحي) — The Revelation

إِنَّمَآ أُنذِرُكُم بِٱلْوَحْىِ

Innamaa undhirukum bil-wahy

“I only warn you by revelation.” (Al-Anbiya 21:45)

Al-Wahy names the Quran as divine communication in its purest form — not human inspiration or prophetic insight, but direct transmission from the Creator to creation.

26. Al-Mathani (المثاني) — The Oft-Repeated

وَلَقَدْ ءَاتَيْنَـٰكَ سَبْعًا مِّنَ ٱلْمَثَانِى

Wa laqad aataynaka sab’an minal-mathaani

“And We have certainly given you seven of the oft-repeated verses.” (Al-Hijr 15:87)

Al-Mathani refers to verses and themes that recur — affirming that Quranic repetition is not redundancy but pedagogical design, reinforcing essential truths through rhythm and return.

27. Al-‘Arabi (العربي) — The Arabic

قُرْءَانًا عَرَبِيًّا

Qur’aanan ‘Arabiyyan

“An Arabic Quran.” (Az-Zumar 39:28)

Ibn Abbas (رضي الله عنه) commented that ‘Arabi here means uncreated — but linguistically, this name affirms the Quran’s revelation in classical Arabic, which preserves its precise articulation through Tajweed.

28. Al-Qawl (القول) — The Word / Statement

وَلَقَدْ وَصَّلْنَا لَهُمُ ٱلْقَوْلَ

Wa laqad wassalnaa lahumul-qawl

“And We have conveyed the word to them continuously.” (Al-Qasas 28:51)

Al-Qawl (the spoken word or statement) names the Quran as active, continuous divine address — not a static text but a living communication delivered without interruption.

29. Al-Basa’ir (البصائر) — The Insights

هَـٰذَا بَصَآئِرُ لِلنَّاسِ

Haadha basaa’iru linnaas

“This is enlightenment for the people.” (Al-Jathiyah 45:20)

Al-Basa’ir names the Quran as a source of spiritual vision — it does not merely inform, it enables the believer to see reality, causation, and the unseen world with clarity.

30. Al-Bayan (البيان) — The Clarification

هَـٰذَا بَيَانٌ لِّلنَّاسِ

Haadha bayaanun linnaas

“This is a clear statement for the people.” (Al Imran 3:138)

Al-Bayan affirms that the Quran leaves no essential matter ambiguous — it clarifies theology, law, ethics, and human purpose with a precision unmatched in any human writing.

31. Al-‘Ilm (العلم) — The Knowledge

وَلَئِنِ ٱتَّبَعْتَ أَهْوَآءَهُم بَعْدَ مَا جَآءَكَ مِنَ ٱلْعِلْمِ

Wa la’inittaba’ta ahwaa’ahum ba’da ma jaa’aka minal-‘ilm

“And if you were to follow their desires after what has come to you of knowledge.” (Ar-Ra’d 13:37)

The Quran is named Al-‘Ilm — it represents true, certain knowledge directly from Allah ﷻ, standing in absolute contrast to human conjecture and personal desire.

32. Al-Haqq (الحق) — The Truth

إِنَّ هَـٰذَا لَهُوَ ٱلْقَصَصُ ٱلْحَقُّ

Inna haadha lahuwal-qasasul-haqq

“Indeed, this is the true account.” (Al Imran 3:62)

Every narrative, ruling, promise, and warning in the Quran is categorically true — Al-Haqq places the Quran in direct opposition to falsehood in every dimension of its content.

33. Al-Hadi (الهادي) — The Guide

إِنَّ هَـٰذَا ٱلْقُرْءَانَ يَهْدِى

Inna haadhal-qur’aana yahdi

“Indeed, this Quran guides.” (Al-Isra 17:9)

Where Al-Huda names the Quran as guidance, Al-Hadi names it as the active guide — an agent that leads, directs, and accompanies the believer throughout life.

34. Al-‘Ajab (العجب) — The Wonder

قُرْءَانًا عَجَبًا

Qur’aanan ‘ajabaa

“A wondrous Quran.” (Al-Jinn 72:1)

Even the jinn, upon hearing the Quran, described it as ‘ajab — wonder-inducing, astonishing, unlike anything encountered before. This name captures the Quran’s transcendent literary and spiritual power.

35. Al-Tadhkirah (التذكرة) — The Reminder

وَإِنَّهُۥ لَتَذْكِرَةٌ

Wa innahu latadhkirah

“And indeed it is a reminder.” (Al-Haqqah 69:48)

Al-Tadhkirah acknowledges that human beings forget their covenant with Allah ﷻ — the Quran exists to continuously restore that memory and reawaken innate faith.

Students engaged in hifz benefit enormously from understanding the names Al-Dhikr (The Remembrance) and Al-Tadhkirah (The Reminder). These names reveal that the Quran is designed to be remembered — its structure, its repetition, its rhythm all serve the purpose of embedding it in human consciousness.

For practical memorization techniques that align with the Quran’s nature as Al-Hadi (The Guide), explore our guide on how to memorize Quran faster.

Buruj Academy’s Online Hifz Program incorporates this understanding into every session — helping students build memorization habits rooted in genuine connection to the Book, not mechanical repetition alone.

36–37. Al-‘Urwah al-Wuthqa (العروة الوثقى) — The Firm Handhold

فَقَدِ ٱسْتَمْسَكَ بِٱلْعُرْوَةِ ٱلْوُثْقَىٰ

Faqadistamsaka bil-‘urwatil-wuthqaa

“He has grasped the most trustworthy handhold.” (Luqman 31:22)

This name carries two related meanings — the Quran as an unbreakable handle one clings to, and as a bond of absolute reliability. It will not slip, break, or deceive those who hold it firmly.

38. Al-Mutashabih (المتشابه) — The Consistent

كِتَـٰبًا مُّتَشَـٰبِهًا

Kitaaban mutashaabihaa

“A consistent Book.” (Az-Zumar 39:23)

In this context, Al-Mutashabih means internally harmonious — the Quran’s themes, messages, and laws are consistent throughout, free from contradiction despite being revealed over 23 years.

39. Al-Sidq (الصدق) — The Truthfulness

وَٱلَّذِى جَآءَ بِٱلصِّدْقِ

Walladhi jaa’a bis-sidq

“And the one who brought the truth.” (Az-Zumar 39:33)

Classical scholars identify Al-Sidq as a Quranic name here — the Book brought by the Prophet ﷺ is truth itself, not merely a book containing true statements, but truth as a living entity.

40. Al-‘Adl (العدل) — The Justice

وَتَمَّتْ كَلِمَتُ رَبِّكَ صِدْقًا وَعَدْلًا

Wa tammat kalimatu rabbika sidqan wa ‘adlaa

“And the word of your Lord has been fulfilled in truth and in justice.” (Al-An’am 6:115)

Al-‘Adl names the Quran as perfect justice — its rulings, distributions, and judgments embody absolute fairness, untainted by human bias or interest.

41. Al-Iman (الإيمان) — The Faith

سَمِعْنَا مُنَادِيًا يُنَادِى لِلْإِيمَـٰنِ

Sami’naa munaadiyany yunaadi lil-eemaan

“We heard a caller calling to faith.” (Al Imran 3:193)

The Quran is itself the caller and the call — Al-Iman reflects its power to generate, sustain, and deepen genuine faith in the hearts of those who engage with it sincerely.

42. Al-Amr (الأمر) — The Command

ذَٰلِكَ أَمْرُ ٱللَّهِ

Dhalika amrullah

“That is the command of Allah.” (At-Talaq 65:5)

The Quran carries divine authority — Al-Amr (the command) signals that its directives are not suggestions but binding divine instructions, carrying the weight of Allah’s ﷻ direct will.

43. Al-Bushra (البشرى) — The Glad Tidings

هُدًى وَبُشْرَىٰ

Hudan wa bushraa

“Guidance and glad tidings.” (An-Naml 27:2)

The Quran announces good news — of Paradise, divine mercy, answered prayers, and ultimate victory for the believers. Al-Bushra makes the Quran a source of genuine, grounded hope.

44. Al-Majid (المجيد) — The Glorious

بَلْ هُوَ قُرْءَانٌ مَّجِيدٌ

Bal huwa qur’aanun majeed

“But it is an honored Quran.” (Al-Buruj 85:21)

Al-Majid combines honor, abundance, and supreme status — the Quran is gloriously elevated above all other speech in its origin, content, and the honor it confers on those who carry it.

45. Al-Zabur (الزبور) — The Scripture

وَلَقَدْ كَتَبْنَا فِى ٱلزَّبُورِ

Wa laqad katabnaa fiz-zaboor

“And We have already written in the Psalms.” (Al-Anbiya 21:105)

Classical scholars include Al-Zabur as one of the Quran’s names, signifying its status as a divine scripture in the tradition of revealed Books — the final, perfected scripture in that lineage.

46. Al-Mubin (المبين) — The Clear

الٓر ۚ تِلْكَ ءَايَـٰتُ ٱلْكِتَـٰبِ ٱلْمُبِينِ

Alif Laam Raa. Tilka aayaatul-kitaabil-mubeen

“Alif, Lam, Ra. These are the verses of the clear Book.” (Yusuf 12:1)

Al-Mubin means transparent and self-evident — the Quran makes its own meaning clear. Its core messages require no external authority to understand; they illuminate themselves.

47–48. Al-Bashir wa Al-Nadhir (البشير والنذير) — The Bearer of Glad Tidings and the Warner

بَشِيرًا وَنَذِيرًا

Basheeran wa nadheeraa

“A bearer of glad tidings and a warner.” (Fussilat 41:4)

The Quran carries both functions simultaneously — it promises reward for the righteous and warns of consequences for those who reject its guidance. These two names represent the full scope of its message.

49. Al-‘Aziz (العزيز) — The Mighty

وَإِنَّهُۥ لَكِتَـٰبٌ عَزِيزٌ

Wa innahu lakitaabun ‘azeez

“And indeed, it is a mighty Book.” (Fussilat 41:41)

Al-‘Aziz names the Quran as invincible and protected — it cannot be defeated, nullified, or corrupted. Its preservation is a divine guarantee that has held for over 1,400 years.

50. Al-Balagh (البلاغ) — The Proclamation

هَـٰذَا بَلَـٰغٌ لِّلنَّاسِ

Haadha balaaghun linnaas

“This is a proclamation for the people.” (Ibrahim 14:52)

Al-Balagh means a complete delivery of a message — the Quran is the full, sufficient proclamation of Allah’s ﷻ will to all of humanity, with nothing essential omitted or left unclear.

51. Al-Qasas (القصص) — The Narratives

نَحْنُ نَقُصُّ عَلَيْكَ أَحْسَنَ ٱلْقَصَصِ

Nahnu naqussu ‘alayka ahsanal-qasas

“We relate to you the best of stories.” (Yusuf 12:3)

The Quran’s narratives — of prophets, nations, and divine interventions — are not merely historical accounts. Al-Qasas names them as the best of all storytelling, purposeful and perfectly told.

52–55. Al-Suhuf al-Mukarramah, Al-Marfu’ah, Al-Mutahharah (الصحف المكرمة المرفوعة المطهرة) — Four Names in One Verse

فِى صُحُفٍ مُّكَرَّمَةٍ ۝ مَّرْفُوعَةٍ مُّطَهَّرَةٍ

Fi suhufin mukarramah. Marfu’atim mutahharah

“In honored sheets, exalted and purified.” (Abasa 80:13–14)

These four names appear together in a single passage, each adding a distinct dimension:

Name	Arabic	Meaning
Al-Suhuf	الصحف	The Sheets / Pages
Al-Mukarramah	المكرمة	The Honored
Al-Marfu’ah	المرفوعة	The Exalted / Elevated
Al-Mutahharah	المطهرة	The Purified

Together they describe the Quran’s physical, spiritual, and divine status — pages that are honored, elevated in Allah’s ﷻ sight, and kept absolutely pure from any corruption or falsehood.

Conclusion

The 55 names of the Quran are not a scholarly curiosity — they are a divine curriculum in themselves. Each name teaches us something the Quran says about its own nature, role, and standing. 

Taken together, they form a complete portrait: a Book that is simultaneously the Word of Allah ﷻ, the Healing of hearts, the Criterion between truth and falsehood, and the Rope connecting humanity to its Creator. 

When we recite, memorize, or study the Quran with these names in mind, we approach it with the reverence and intentionality it deserves — and that shift changes everything about how we learn it.
