THE NOBLE NAMES OF THE QUR’ĀN IN THE QUR’ĀN
The word Qur-aan linguistically, When broken down methodically,
Means reading or recited piece, By most of those who dare to teach,
It's reached us in its purest form, From massive chains still carried on,
Speech of Allah revealed to Ibn Abdullah, In word and meaning both preserved, In mus-haf form gone undisturbed,
A standing challenge for all time, For those who claim it's just a rhyme.
