The triliteral root kāf tā bā (ك ت ب) occurs in the Quran 319 times.

(2:2) This is the Book (Arab. الْكِتَابُ, l-kitābu) in which there is no doubt, a guide for the conscientious.

Enlightening book

(22:8) Among the people are those who argue regarding God without knowledge nor guidance nor an enlightening book (Arab. كِتَابٍ, kitābin).

God's book

(5:44) We have sent down the Torah, in it is guidance and a light; the prophets who have peacefully surrendered judged with it for those who are Jews, as well as the Rabbis, and the Scholars, for what they were entrusted of God's book (Arab. كِتَابِ اللَّهِ, kitābi l-lahi), and they were witness over it. So do not revere the people but revere Me; and do not purchase with My signs a cheap price. Whoever does not judge with what God has sent down, then these are the ingrates.

(66:12) Also Mary, the daughter of Imran, who maintained her chastity. So We blew into her from Our Spirit, and she acknowledged the words of her Lord and His books (Arab. وَكُتُبِهِ, wakutubihi); and she was of those who were obedient.

The Book/Scripture of Moses

(46:12) Before this was the book (Arab. كِتَابُ, kitābu) of Moses, as a role model and a mercy. This is an authenticating book in an Arabic tongue, so that you may warn those who have transgressed, and to give good news to the righteous.

A Book from the Heaven

(4:153) The People of the Book ask you to bring down to them a book (Arab. كِتَابًا, kitāban) from the Heaven. They had asked Moses for even more than that, for they said, "Let us see God publicly!", so the thunderbolt took them for their wickedness. Then they took the calf after the proof had come to them, and We pardoned them for this; We gave Moses a clear authority.

The Book and The Philosophy

(3:48) He teaches him the Book (Arab. الْكِتَابَ, l-kitāba) and the Philosophy, the Torah and the Injeel.

(3:81) God took a covenant from the prophets: "For what I have given you of a book (Arab. كِتَابٍ, kitābin) and philosophy, then a messenger will come to you authenticating what is with you. You will acknowledge him and support him." He said, "Do you testify, and agree to this burden?" they said, "We testify." He said, "Then bear witness, and I am with you bearing witness."

(5:110) God said, "O Jesus son of Mary, recall My blessings upon you and your mother that I supported you with the Holy Spirit; you spoke to the people in the cradle and in old age; and I taught you the Book (Arab. الْكِتَابَ, l-kitāba) and the Philosophy, and the Torah, and the Injeel; and you would create from clay the shape of a bird, then blow into it and it becomes a bird by My leave; and you heal the blind and the leper by My leave; and you brought out the dead by My leave. I have restrained the Children of Israel from you, that you came to them with proofs; but those who rejected amongst them said, "This is an obvious magic!""

(2:129) "Our Lord, and send amongst them a messenger from among themselves, that he may recite to them Your signs and teach them the Book (Arab. الْكِتَابَ, l-kitāba) and the wisdom (Philosophy), and purify them. You are the Noble, the Wise."

Knowledge from the Book

(3:79) It is not for a human that God would give him the book, the authority, and the prophethood, then he would say to the people: "Be servants to me rather than to God!", rather: "Be devotees to what you have been taught of the Book (Arab. الْكِتَابَ, l-kitāba), and to what you studied."

Gentiles - goys, unlettered ones

(2:78) Amongst them are Gentiles, who do not know the Book (Arab. الْكِتَابَ, l-kitāba) except by hearsay, and they only conjecture.

Other

(19:51) Recall in the Book (Arab. الْكِتَابِ, l-kitābi) Moses; he was loyal, and he was a messenger, a prophet.

(6:12) Say, "To whom is all that is in heavens and earth?" Say, "To God." He has prescribed (Arab. كَتَبَ, kataba) Mercy upon Himself, that He will gather you to the day of Resurrection in which there is no doubt. Those who have lost themselves, they do not acknowledge.

(6:54) If those who acknowledge Our signs come to you, then say, "Peace be upon you, our Lord has prescribed (Arab. كَتَبَ, kataba) Mercy upon Himself, that any of you who commits sin out of ignorance and then repents afterwards and reforms, then He is Forgiving, Compassionate."
