"And unto thee have We revealed the Scripture with the truth, confirming whatever Scripture was before it, and a watcher over it. So judge between them by that which Allah hath revealed, and follow not their desires away from the truth which hath come unto thee. For each We have appointed a divine law and a traced-out way. Had Allah willed He could have made you one community. But that He may try you by that which He hath given you (He hath made you as ye are). So vie one with another in good works. Unto Allah ye will all return, and He will then inform you of that wherein ye differ" [Pickthall]

If Allah had so willed, He would have made you a single people, but (His plan is) to test you in what He hath given you: so strive as in a race in all virtues. The goal of you all is to Allah; it is He that will show you the truth of the matters in which ye dispute;" [Yusuf Ali]

"That (this) is indeed a noble Qur'an" [Pickthall]
"Most surely it is an honored Quran" [Shakir]
"That this is indeed a qur'an Most Honourable" [Yusuf Ali]
[NOTE: There are several opinions about the etymology of the word “Qurān” or “Qurʾān”. Some argue that it is derived from qara’a, which means “to read”. This will render the verbal noun Quran as “the reading”. Others have suggested that Quran was from the root qarana which means “to combine” or “to associate”. Thus the Quran was so named because it is formed from the combination of Surahs (sections, often called Chapters). Some others have suggested that the word Quran, just like Tawrat (Tawrah or Taurat: that is the Quranic word for the Torah) and Injil (the Quranic word for the Gospel of Jesus), was a proper noun that was not derived from any word, and denoted the speech of ALLAH. Some others have argued that the Quran was derived from the word qara’in meaning “to resemble”; it is called so, because its verses resemble one another in eloquence.
According to some of these definitions, Qurʾān should be pronounced as Qurān, that is, without the hamza (Arabic letter that represents a glottal stop, normally transliterated as a simple apostrophe / ’ / or modifier letter right half ring / ʾ /).
In the Quran itself, the word Qurʾān (i.e. with the hamza) refers to the revelation of ALLAH in the broad sense and is not always restricted to mean a book – this is only as a revelation from ALLAH to Prophet Muhammad (pbuh).
The name Quran is mentioned 58 times in the Quran and is the most common name for this Scripture, both in hadith-literature (plural: hadith, hadiths, or ahadith: a saying, act or tacit approval ascribed to the Prophet of Islam, Muhammad (pbuh) and later written down) and conventional speech among Muslims and non-Muslims alike.]
