Heavenly Quran

The Heavenly Quran (Arabic: أمّ الکتاب, romanized: umm al-kitāb, lit.

'mother of the Book'[1]), according to a common Islamic belief, is a primordial version of the revealed Quran.

The idea of a holy book or other religious totem being based on an archetype preserved in heaven is not unique to Islam but goes back "thousands of years" to "the early Sumerians" according to Alfred Guillaume.

[2][3] Quranic verses 43:4 and 13:39 referred to “mother of the book” (umm al-kitab); verse 85:22 refers to a “well-guarded tablet” (lawh mahfuz) and 56:78 to a “concealed book” (kitab maknun).

Commonly, the Injil and the Islamic notion of Torah are thought to be part of the Heavenly Quran.
