Meaning of Kitab

The root of the word Kitab is kaaf-taa-baa, k-t-b means writ, law, prescription, appointment, ordainment, obligation, decree, judgement, sentencing, dictation and teaching. 

Lane's Lexicon Page 2590










• Al Kitab La rayba fi hi = the covenant about which there is no doubt

• Al Kitab = The Law

• Kutub = Laws

• Kitab = Decree (when not part of definite composition)

• Kitab Mutashabih Mathaniya = a decree of paired comparison

• • Mutashabih = analogy, allegory, alike, similar or comparison

• • Mathaniya = twofold, paired

• Kitab Allah = the Law of God / Decree of God

• Kitabun anzalnahu mubarakun = a decree we have sent down, one blessed

• Kitabun anzalnahu ilayka = a decree we have sent down to thee (you)

• Kitabun anzalnahu ilayka, mubarakun = a decree we have sent down to thee (you), one blessed

• Alladhina ataynahum Al Kitab = those who we gave the law

• Alladhina utu Al Kitab = those in possession of the Law

So the [Canonical] Bible isn't Al Kitab, as God didn't drop a 1,200 page book down from heaven [if this heaven even is a materialistic place beyond the earth]


وَلَوْ نَزَّلْنَا عَلَيْكَ كِتَـٰبًا فِى قِرْطَاسٍ فَلَمَسُوهُ بِأَيْدِيهِمْ لَقَالَ ٱلَّذِينَ كَفَرُوٓا۟ إِنْ هَـٰذَآ إِلَّا سِحْرٌ مُّبِينٌ
And had We sent down upon thee a Writ upon parchment, then they had touched it with their hands, those who ignore warning would have said: “This is only obvious sorcery.” (6:7)

Parchment = Page, Letter, Inscription
