Dalili ya Kwanza: Qur'ani Tukufu
The First Daleel Al Qur’aan Al Kareem
Ta'reef (ufafanuzi wa) Al-Qur'aan:
Ta’reef (definition of) Al-Qur’aan:
Ni Kalaamullah (maneno ya Allah), ambayo haiwezi kuigwa na ni muujiza, ambayo kusomwa kwake ni ibada, iliyoteremshwa kwa Muhammad ﷺ kwa lugha ya Kiarabu kupitia Wahyi (Jibril), kwa lafdhi (maneno) na maana yake, na ndiyo iliyo kati ya kifuniko cha mbele na cha nyuma cha Mushaf, iliyotufikia kwa njia ya Mutawaatir.
It is the Kalaamullah (the speech of Allah), the inimitable/miraculous, the Tilaawah (recital) of which is an act of worship, which was revealed upon Muhammad (saw) in the Arabic language by way of the Wahi (Jibreel) in Lafzh (wording) and Ma’naa (meaning), and it is what lies between the two covers (front and back) of the Mushaf that has been transmitted to us by Mutawaatir transmission.
Qur'aan kimetokana na kitenzi cha kusoma. Allah Ta'aalaa amesema:
The Qur’aan is derived from the verb to read). Allah Ta’Aalaa said:
Hakika, kuikusanya kwake na kukufanya uweze kukisoma ni juu Yetu. Basi tukishakusomea, fuata usomaji wake.
Verily, upon Us is its collection and [to make possible] its recitation. And when We have recited it to you then follow its (the Quran's) recital (Al-Qiyaamah 17- 18).
Miongoni mwa majina yake ni: Al-Qur'aan, Al-Kitaab, Al-Furqaan na Adh Dhikr. Kwa upande wa majina ambayo baadhi ya watu wameyachukulia kuwa ni majina ya Qur'aan, kama vile Al-Majeed na Al-'Azeez, hayo ni maelezo tu yanayoelezea Qur'aan. Allah Ta'Aalaa amesema:
Amongst its names are: Al-Qur’aan, Al-Kitaab, Al-Furqaan and Adh Dhikr. As for what some have considered to be names of the Qur’aan like Al-Majeed and Al-‘Azeez then these only represent descriptions of the Qur’aan. Allah Ta’Aalaa said:
Hakika, ni Qur-aan Tukufu (Al-Buruuj 21).
Indeed, it is a Glorious Qur’aan (Al-Burooj 21).
Na hakika ni Kitabu chenye nguvu (Al-Fussilat 41).
And verily it is a Mighty Book (Al-Fusillat 41).
