Exegesis of the saying of Allah the Exalted: (in a spread-out parchment)]
Allah the Exalted said: [Surat al-Tur: 3] Parchment: it is what is written on, such as skin and the like,And it was said: everything on which writing is done, even stone; because they used to write the Qur'an on stones, on the backs of bones, and on palm fronds; because paper was not widely available.
And his statement: (spread-out) is a description of the Book, and it is possible that it is a description of the parchment, and the meaning is the same,And the meaning of spread-out is: the dispersed one that is in the hands of every reader, and this is exactly true of the Noble Qur'an, for it—praise be to Allah—is before the eyes of every reader, even the young among the Muslims read it.
Allah the Exalted said:
In parchment spread open
