It has even been said that the position of the Koran in Islam can really only be compared to the position of Jesus Christ in Christianity. Insofar as in Christianity, God became man, became flesh – incarnation; whereas, in Islam, God became a book, so we can speak of an inlibration.

التنزيل/الوحي القرآني
إن الوحي في الإسلام محصور بوحي الكلمة المكتوبة، وليس القرآن سوى تتويج لهذا الوحي واختتام له . فيماتقرّ المسيحية بشكل آخر من الوحي ، هو وحي التجسد

أما في الإسلام، فتتجسد الذات الإلهية في كتاب، وهو ما يعرف بالوحي القرآني

"التكتب" ??
This is really just a guess - I don't believe the word تكتب (takattub) really exists in the Arabic language, but then the word inlibration isn't a proper English word either.
Here's some more clarification from http://www.americanthinker.com/articles.php?article_id=3816
"Sometimes a comparison is made between the Quran’s “inlibration” (from the root “libr” or “book”) with Christ’s “incarnation” (from the root “carn” or “flesh”). That is, as the heavenly Son of God was “made flesh,” so the heavenly Quran was “made book.” "
So, in analogy to the word التجسد, maybe you could use "التكتب" between quotation marks or inverted commas.

: It is a very difficult one, because the concept is alien to Islam itself

صارت الذات الإلهية نصا مقدسا
This is just a suggestion, Mazyoun, for trying to get out of this مأزق لغوي without being offensive to the Muslim reader
