This/That is a book in which there is no doubt

According to the video above "THAT" is reffering to Al-Lauh Al-Mahfuz

Al-Lauh Al-Mahfuz (The Preserved Tablet) and its names

LAUH-E-MAHFOOZ [Al-Lauh Al-Mahfuz (The Preserved Tablet) and its names]

Synonyms: LAUH MAHFOOZ, KITAABUM MAKNOON, UMM-UL-KITAAB, IMAAMUM MUBEEN

1 LAUH MAHFOOZ (لَوْح مَحْفُوظ): According to dictionary this word means 'preserved tablet'. The complete comprehension to this tablet is beyond the bounds of human knowledge but according to legends this tablet or book contains all the matters related to the fate of the universe and it is not altered. Following is the knowledge of the names referred to it in the Quran

Surah Al-Burooj (The Mansions of the Stars): سورة البروج 85:21

بَلْ هُوَ قُرْآنٌ مَّجِيدٌ فِي لَوْحٍ مَّحْفُوظٍ

No indeed, (but) it is an Ever-Glorious Qur'an, in a preserved Tablet.

Thus the Quran is also derived from the LAUH MEHFOOZ (لَوْح مَحْفُوظ).

2 UMM-UL-KITAAB (اُمُّ ٱلۡكِتَـٰبِ):

Surah Az-Zukhruf (Ornaments of Gold): سورۃالزُّخرف 43:3-4

إِنَّا جَعَلۡنَـٰهُ قُرۡءَٲنًا عَرَبِيًّ۬ا لَّعَلَّڪُمۡ تَعۡقِلُونَ وَإِنَّهُ ۥ فِىٓ أُمِّ ٱلۡكِتَـٰبِ لَدَيۡنَا لَعَلِىٌّ حَكِيمٌ

We verily, have made it a Quran in Arabic, that you may be able to understand (its meanings and its admonitions). And Verily, it (this Quran) is in the Mother of the Book (i.e. Al-Lauh Al-Mahfuz), before Us, indeed Exalted, full of Wisdom.

It is said about the Quran that is a part or the UMM-UL-KITAAB (اُمُّ ٱلۡكِتَـٰبِ). An important fact is cleared here that Allah has revealed Holy books upon Prophets belonging to different era and nations. But they all advocated for the same doctrine. The standard of vice and virtues were the same, so were the laws of morality and civilization. Thus the religion always remained the same. Regarding the changes in laws and Shariah it is said in the Quran

Surah Al-Rad (The Thunder): سُوۡرَةُ الرّعد13:39

يَمۡحُواْ ٱللَّهُ مَا يَشَآءُ وَيُثۡبِتُ‌ۖ وَعِندَهُ ۥۤ أُمُّ ٱلۡڪِتَـٰبِ

Allah blots out what He wills and confirms (what He wills). And with Him is the Mother of the Book (Al-Lauh Al-Mahfuz)

According to this Ayah the changes in the Shariah Law and regulations were also recorded in this book.

3 IMAAMUM MUBEEN (إِمَامٌ مُّبِينٍ): In another place in Quran

Surah As-Sajda (The prostration ): سُوۡرَةُ السَّجدَة 32:39

وَكُلَّ شَيْءٍ أَحْصَيْنَاهُ فِي إِمَامٍ مُّبِينٍ

We have recorded with numbers (as a record) in a Clear Book.

4 KITAABUM MAKNOON (كِتَابٌ مَّكْنُون): Also in the Quran

Surah Al-Waqiah (The Inevitable): سُوۡرَةُ الواقِعَة 56:77

إِنَّهُ لَقُرْآنٌ كَرِيمٌ فِي كِتَابٍ مَّكْنُونٍ

It is a noble Quran. In a well-protected Book.

From this ayah we come to know that the contents of this book are not known by anyone except Allah not even Gabriel (Jibraeel) who used to take the divine revelations to Prophets.

Summary:

1 LAUH MAHFOOZ: The tablet that is protected from any alterations.
2 UMM-UL-KITAAB: Because it is the collection of all the Laws, rules and orders of Allah.
3 IMAAMUM MUBEEN: Because everything is already written in it.
4 KITAABUM MAKNOON: Because its contents are not known to anyone except Allah.
