===Source of Scripture===
This relates back to the beginning of the surah where the Quran is identified as the “Source of Scripture” ('''4''') <ref name=316MAS/> which can also literally be translated into ‘mother of the Scripture. ’ The Haleem translation of the Qur'an includes that this phrase is also referring to the ‘Preserved Tablet’ that is referenced in [[Quran 13:39]]<ref>Haleem, M.A.S. Abdel. The Qur'an (New York: Oxford University Press, 2005) 156.</ref> and '''22''' <ref name="ReferenceB">Haleem, M.A.S. Abdel. The Qur'an (New York: Oxford University Press, 2005) 416.</ref> as well. This subtle reinterpretation suggests that the Qur'an is the ‘mother’ of and therefore superior to all of the books revelation. It suggests that the Quran is more reliable and possesses more truth than the [[Torah]] and the [[Gospels]] and it suggests that the Quran should be revered above all revelations that came before it. One interpretation is that this represents a pronounced declaration of the truth and certainty of the revelation and implies that the Quran is not to be worshipped as divine only orally, but also as it is ascribed on the tablets or written on the pages of the Quran. This interpretation suggests that the Quran is a heavenly book, not a human book. The way it was written is to be revered as the true word of God.

Another interpretation of this verse is that the Quran is a unique phenomenon in human history that exists beyond the mundane sphere as the eternal and immutable word of God. Through this interpretation, the Quran is considered an earthly book whose history is intimately linked human life and the history of humanity.<ref name="oxfordislamicstudies.com">[[Mahmoud M.
