Quran

The triliteral root qāf rā hamza (ق ر أ) occurs in the Quran 88 times.

Etymology

The etymological roots of the term “Quran” remain obscure. In the Syriac language (ܠܫܢܐ ܣܘܪܝܝܐ, lessana suriaya) - the dead language of the Aramaic group, there is a supposed equivalent - (ܩܪܝܢܐ - qeryānā), meaning "lesson" or "study of the scriptures". While some Western scholars believe that the word "Quran" comes from the Syriac language, most Muslim theologians believe that the source of this word is the Arab verb «qara-a - قَرَأَ». Encyclopedia Britannica Online (Nasr, Seyyed Hossein - 2007 "Qurʼān"), reports that the term became Arabic only during the lifetime of Muhammad.

A methodological study of the use of the term “Quran”, and its derivatives, indicates the semantic connection of the term with the act of “construction, building, consolidation”.

This interpretation is supported by the associated translation of the term sura, which comes from the root «sīn wāw rā», which can mean “fencing” and “brick wall”, as in (57:13) or (38:21).

A similar root form exists in the Kazakh and Kyrgyz languages ​​- "Kurylys, қurastyru, kurul-, kurulush."

The origin of the linguistic phenomenon “Kuru” can be observed on the example of incomplete satematization in Indo-Iranian languages. Sanskrit word "Guru" - "heavy" ← * gʷer-; kulam "herd" ← * kʷel-; also “kuru” - “to do” ← * kʷer-, however this word appears only in the texts, after the writing of the RigvedaЁRigveda.

“Guru” (ˈɡuːru, ˈɡʊruː ˈɡʊər; Sanskrit: गुरु, IAST: guru) is the Sanskrit term “teacher, guide, expert or master” for a particular knowledge or field. In the Indian tradition, “guru” is more than a teacher, in Sanskrit, means one who “dispels darkness and goes to the light”.

As a result, the following picture is obtained: from “bricks - ayats”, it is laid out, “wall - sura” is made, in the process of construction and reconstruction of the building - “Quran”.
