The interpretation of the word "marqūm" in the Holy Quran means "written," and exegetes have agreed upon this. The origin of the word in the language denotes distinctiveness, planning, and writing. It is not permissible to interpret "kitābun marqūm" (a written book) as "a digital book" merely due to the similarity in wording, as this would be speaking about Allah without knowledge.
