____________________________________________
☘️IX.ii= al kitāb — (the) Writ (writ)
kutub — Writs (writs)
I refer the reader first to my comments on 3:48 in the introductory portion of this Notepad.
In previous editions of this work, I rendered law (laws) in all cases. A blunt application of this position became problematical
in places (since there is some crossover between the applications), and I have taken a different approach here. In this
edition, I use Writ (outside of very specific collocations) where the subject is God’s written communication to men, or that law
which God applies to His Creation, an instance of application by men of the law of God, or God’s record giving man his account.
While this approach is not without its own disadvantages (being an archaic term), it has certain advantages: firstly, it emphasises the written nature of the subject (which kitāb certainly conveys in Arabic); secondly, it conveys a nuance of law or written command; thirdly, it allows a nuance which covers aspects of written record. It also allows that some part of what is called
scripture by men does not comprise law in the prosaic sense of the word. Thus, it both conveys some of the same ambiguities
which exist in the Arabic, and allows the reader in English the opportunity to see past the specificity which the Traditionalist
imposes upon him in favour of his own conclusions. In those few cases where the agent is clearly other than God, I render without capitalisation.
Instances where the definite article is lost due to combination with a following genitive noun (the iḍāfa construction) are treated as per al kitāb (for example al kitāb + allah = kitāb allah or the Writ of God).
