While the name Dyjan itself does not appear directly in the Quran, it is derived from the concept of 'al-mann' (manna), which is mentioned multiple times in the Quranic narrative. The Quran references manna as a divine provision granted to the Children of Israel during their forty years of wandering in the wilderness. This miraculous food is mentioned in several surahs, particularly in Al-Baqarah, Al-A'raf, and Ta-Ha, establishing its importance in Islamic theological and narrative tradition. The name Dyjan thus carries the spiritual weight of this Quranic concept of divine care and sustenance.
وَقَطَّعْنَاهُمُ اثْنَتَا عَشْرَةَ أَسْبَاطًا أُمَمًا ۚ وَأَوْحَيْنَا إِلَىٰ مُوسَىٰ إِذِ اسْتَسْقَاهُ قَوْمُهُ أَنِ اضْرِب بِّعَصَاكَ الْحَجَرَ ۖ فَانبَجَسَتْ مِنْهُ اثْنَتَا عَشْرَةَ عَيْنًا ۖ قَدْ عَلِمَ كُلُّ أُنَاسٍ مَّشْرَبَهُمْ ۚ وَظَلَّلْنَا عَلَيْهِمُ الْغَمَامَ وَأَنزَلْنَا عَلَيْهِمُ الْمَنَّ وَالسَّلْوَىٰ

Then gushed forth therefrom twelve springs; each people knew their drinking place. And We caused the white clouds to overshadow them and sent down upon them manna and quails.”
وَظَلَّلْنَا عَلَيْكُمُ الْغَمَامَ وَأَنزَلْنَا عَلَيْكُمُ الْمَنَّ وَالسَّلْوَىٰ ۖ كُلُوا مِن طَيِّبَاتِ مَا رَزَقْنَاكُمْ ۚ وَمَا ظَلَمُونَا وَلَٰكِن كَانُوا أَنفُسَهُمْ يَظْلِمُونَ
