The answer

It was Allah who named His Book "the Qur’an," and this name is mentioned in many verses of the Holy Qur’an. Linguistically, "Qur’an" comes from "al-Qar’" meaning "to collect" or "to gather," because it collects the surahs, or the fruits of previous scriptures, or various types of knowledge.
