Responsibilities that Allah has taken about the Quran |
Allah
has taken the following responsibilities as regards the Qur'an:
1.
The collection, composition and arrangement of the Quran
"It
is for Us to collect, compose and arrange it and to promulgate
it:" [75:17]
2.
The Proclamation/promulgation of the Quran
"It
is for Us to collect, compose and arrange it and to promulgate
it:" [75:17]
However,
the prophet [p.b.u.h] was also commanded to proclaim or read
"Proclaim!
(or read!) in the name of your Lord and Cherisher, Who created-
" [96:1]
"Proclaim!
And your Lord is Most Bountiful,- [96:3]
See
also 73:20
The
proclamation and reading of the Quran is also to be done by
the Believers [See 16:98]
The
proclamation/promulgation of the Quran is one of those responsibilities
taken by Allah which the believers take upon themselves when
they become believers.
3.
Making it plain, distinct, clear and perspicuous
...It
is for Us to explain it (and make it clear) [75:19]
4.
The Preservation of the Quran
Verily,
it is We Who have sent down the Dhikr (i.e. the Quran)
and surely We guard it [15:9]
