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): 4-43:3

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 Quran
Surah 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.

It is a noble Quran. In a well-protected Book.
From this ayah we come to know that the contents of this book are not known by anyone except Allah
not even Gabriel (Jibraeel) who used to take the divine revelations to Prophets.
Summary:
14.1 LAUH MAHFOOZ: The tablet that is protected from any alterations.
14.2 UMM-UL-KITAAB: Because it is the collection of all the Laws, rules and orders of Allah.
14.3 IMAAMUM MUBEEN: Because everything is already written in it.
14.4 KITAABUM MAKNOON: Because its contents are not known to anyone except Allah.
