Assalaamu Alaikum Brother Joseph,
Thank you as always for your thoughtful reply.
I was leaning towards not referring the Qur'an as "Holy" because Allah does not refer to the Qur'an as Holy. That's where I have landed.
One thought I had was that Prophet Isa (PBUH) is Allah's Word, but I do not consider Prophet Isa (PBUH) or any other Prophet Holy. I think one could argue semantics or intent, but in this case I plan to cling to the language in the Qur'an.
Allah knows best.
Salaam
