In 6:38 Allah The Almighty mentions a book. Which book is this and why ?

Kind regards

Dear miracle114,

Salaam,

The Book in 6:38 is a register/ record within God’s presence from which all Divine records/ messages including decrees and scriptures of God emanate. It is this same register referenced in 11:6. It is the ‘Mother of Records’ (ummul kitab) in 13:39 and 43:2-4, the ‘Guarded Tablet’ (lawhul mahfudh) in 85:21-22 and the ‘Protected Register’ (kitab maknun) in 56:78.

See a short article [1] below by Br. Joseph on this.

As to your question 'why,' I am not sure what you seek to understand.

Regards,
Athmani.

Dear miracle114,

Salaam,

And I hope by the Qur’anic verses cited in support of the position held with regards the said Book you do appreciate it as from the Quran’s own testimony and therefore answers your question 'why.'

Regards,
Athman.
