  He swore about the Quran being true and truthful, saying 'It is a decisive word and not a jest.'

  كَوْنِ — being. A verbal noun naming 'the being / the fact of being', heading a possessive pairing with 'the Quran' after it. It turns a whole 'X is true' idea into a single noun phrase that the oath can be sworn about; it sits in the genitive after the preposition.
