14. LAUH-E-MAHFOOZ [Al-Lauh Al-Mahfuz (The Preserved Tablet) and its names]

Synonyms: LAUH MAHFOOZ, KITAABUM MAKNOON, UMM-UL-KITAAB, IMAAMUM MUBEEN

14.1 LAUH MAHFOOZ ( ): According to dictionary this word means preserved tablet. The

complete comprehension to this tablet is beyond the bounds of human knowledge but according to

legends this tablet or book contains all the matters related to the fate of the universe and it is not

altered. Following is the knowledge of the names referred to it in the Quran

Surah Al-Burooj (The Mansions of the Stars): 85:21

No indeed, (but) it is an Ever-Glorious Qur'an, in a preserved Tablet.

Thus the Quran is also derived from the LAUH MEHFOOZ ( ).

14.2 UMM-UL-KITAAB (

:(

Surah Az-Zukhruf (Ornaments of Gold): 43:3-4

We verily, have made it a Quran in Arabic, that you may be able to understand (its meanings and its

admonitions). And Verily, it (this Quran) is in the Mother of the Book (i.e. Al-Lauh Al-Mahfuz), before

Us, indeed Exalted, full of Wisdom.

It is said about the Quran that is a part or the UMM-UL-KITAAB (

). An important fact is cleared

here that Allah has revealed Holy books upon Prophets belonging to different era and nations. But

they all advocated for the same doctrine. The standard of vice and virtues were the same, so were

the laws of morality and civilization. Thus the religion always remained the same. Regarding the

changes in laws and Shariah it is said in the QuranSurah Al-Rad (The Thunder): 13:39

Allah blots out what He wills and confirms (what He wills). And with Him is the Mother of the Book

(Al-Lauh Al-Mahfuz)

According to this Ayah the changes in the Shariah Law and regulations were also recorded in this

book.
