The words of Allah used in a book or a novel (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

koran

'the words of allah' is the definition.

'in a book or a novel' is the wordplay.
'in' says the answer is hidden in the clue.
'KORAN' is hidden within 'book or a novel'.

'used' is the link.

(Other definitions for koran that I've seen before include "Sacred book of Islam with revelations of Muhammad" , "Sacred book of Islam (5)" , "Islamic sacred book" , "Islam's sacred book" , "Muslim holy book" .)

I've seen this clue in The Globe and Mail.
