[Al-Quran 50:6-8] Have they not looked at the heaven above them - how We structured it and adorned it and how it has no rifts? And the earth - We spread it out and cast therein firmly set mountains and made grow therein [something] of every beautiful kind, Giving insight and a reminder for every servant who turns [to Allah].

The people who make the Quran into 'izeen' will be questioned for what they used to do. 

Google translates izeen as 'member'. The generally accepted translations of The Quran translate it as 'parts'. 

The Quran is one whole. 


Q15:87


 وَلَـقَدۡ اٰتَيۡنٰكَ سَبۡعًا مِّنَ الۡمَـثَانِىۡ وَالۡـقُرۡاٰنَ الۡعَظِيۡمَ‏  ٨٧

[https://quran.com/15/87]


The Quran has been revealed for our guidance. It is a response to the prayer in Surah alFateha (the seven oft-repeated ayaat) which are recited in the beginning of every rakat of every salah (formal prayer). 


Q15:1


الٓر ۚ تِلْكَ ءَايَـٰتُ ٱلْكِتَـٰبِ وَقُرْءَانٍۢ مُّبِينٍۢ ١

[https://quran.com/15/1]


The Quran is 'mubeen' meaning luminous. Its ayaat are clear. Its message is clear. It demands submission to the Will of Allah. It guides to the best of moral conduct. It gives glad tidings of a 'forever flourishing life' in the 'akhirah' (hereafter). It also warns of a 'forever miserable existence' in the 'akhirah' (hereafter). The choice is ours. 

The 'ayaat of The Kitab' are also mentioned, such as the 'kitab-e-maaloom' (Q15:4) when certain nations time to repent and reform was finished, and the punishment came to them. They were annihilated. Surah alHijr mentions the morally low people to whom Prophet Lot (Lut عليه السلام) kept preaching till he was rescued and they destroyed. It also mentions the Ashab-al-Aikateh and the Ashab-e-Hijr, who were also punished when the time to book them came. 


Q27:1


طسٓ ۚ تِلْكَ ءَايَـٰتُ ٱلْقُرْءَانِ وَكِتَابٍۢ مُّبِينٍ ١

[https://quran.com/27/1]


In this Surah, the Kitab is 'mubeen', while it contains the ayaat of the Quran. The mubeen kitab is illustrated by the example of Solomon (Sulaiman عليه السلام)'s kitab, which he sends to the Queen of Saba, in Allah's name, ordering her to come as Muslim (in submission). 

The Surah contains many ayaat of The Quran, such as Solomon (Sulaiman عليه السلام)'s ability to converse with animals, etc. The Surah mentions that both David (Dawood عليه السلام) and Solomon (Sulaiman عليه السلام) were granted 'ilm'. 


...

Q55:1-4 


ٱلرَّحْمَـٰنُ ١

عَلَّمَ ٱلْقُرْءَانَ ٢

خَلَقَ ٱلْإِنسَـٰنَ ٣

عَلَّمَهُ ٱلْبَيَانَ ٤

[https://quran.com/55/1-4]


ArRahman has taught the Quran, created humans, and taught them how to make it clear (bayan). 

The sequence is significant. Surah arRahman begins with:

  • highlighting the Most Merciful (arRahman) 
    • everything that is mentioned in this surah is an aspect of Allah's Mercy  
  • (His) teaching Quran (granting ilm), 
    • the most immediate and extremely important is His granting ilm of The Quran
  • creating humans, 
    • we are created with a code that tells the clay in us how to organise, communicate and flourish 
  • teaching them (granting ilm) about how to make it clear 
    • we have not only been encoded / hard-wired with The Quran, we have also been blessed with the ability to describe it in words 

...

The Quran is true knowledge (ilm) taught by Allah to humans. It is the comprehensive response to: 

The Opener (1:5-7)

إِيَّاكَ نَعْبُدُ وَإِيَّاكَ نَسْتَعِينُ ٥

ٱهْدِنَا ٱلصِّرَٰطَ ٱلْمُسْتَقِيمَ ٦

صِرَٰطَ ٱلَّذِينَ أَنْعَمْتَ عَلَيْهِمْ غَيْرِ ٱلْمَغْضُوبِ عَلَيْهِمْ وَلَا ٱلضَّآلِّينَ ٧

[https://quran.com/1/5-7]


So, as a comprehensive response to our prayer, we need to take The Quran as a comprehensive whole, studying and pondering over all of it, and not just parts of it. The Quran presents examples of people with whom Allah became angry, and it also presents examples of people whom Allah allowed to go astray.  We must strive to follow The Quran as it deserves to be followed, before the time comes to Book us for our actions.
