Al-Zarkashi, in his book "Al-Burhan fi Ulum al-Qur'an," dedicated a chapter to the names of the Qur'an. He mentioned that al-Harabi enumerated more than ninety names for it, and that Abu al-Ma'ali Aziz ibn Abd al-Malik mentioned fifty-five names. Al-Zarkashi listed these names, but many of them are descriptions rather than actual names. Its primary names are: The Qur'an, Al-Furqan (The Criterion), Al- (The Reminder), and Al-Kitab (The Book).
