- Understanding the Significance of the Qur'an in Islam

In Arabic, the prefix "al-" (ال-) is a definite article, similar to "the" in English. It is used to indicate that the noun it precedes is specific or previously mentioned.

For example, "al-kitab" (الكتاب) means "the book", and "al-bayt" (البيت) means "the house".

So, "al-Qur'an" (القرأن) literally means "the Qur'an", and refers to the specific holy book of Islam.
