To how you learn how to read the quran of course. What else?

Peace,

The problem I have with that interpretation is that there is no reference to quran before this, so how can the pronoun refer to what is not mentioned?

So, you think it refers to the excuses of the people with bad deeds on the yaumu l'qiyyama, and that God will collect and recite the deeds on that day? There might be some reason in this.

Yes youre right, but the context on that word is learning to recite the quran, so lots of people make an interpretation that the word bihi goes to the quran.

Third person masculine singular pronoun which is the object noun of preposition "be" is the problem. How does it refer to Qur'aan because you think it is not immediately mentioned before. Your point is correct that a pronoun always refers to a noun mentioned earlier.

However, in discourses, it is not necessary that a pronoun must appear immediately after a noun. One has to go back to trace the noun even if one is to go the first word of discourse. Please go back to last Ayas of Surat 74. In between subject matter is different. The information appearing after the pronoun also confirms that it relates to the Book.

[Arman]

No! I swear by the day of ascend.
No! I swear by the soul in self-attrition.
Does the human think We won't gather his bones?
No! We are able to balance him finger (to toes).
No! The human intends to brush aside the intimation
He asks, "When is the day of ascend?"
   So when dazzled will be the vision
   And darkened will be the moon -
   And gathered will be the sun and the moon -
   That day the human will say, "Where is the escape?"
   No way! There will be no evasion.
   To your Master, that day, will be the settlement.
The human, that day, will be (duly) informed -
What he stepped into, and what he tarried from.
No! The human will be enlightened against his soul!
Even if he casts (made-up) justification.
   To rush with it, you, may not stir your tongue
   Indeed upon Us is its gathering and recitation.
   So when We recite it, pursue its recitation.
   (And) later indeed is upon Us its explanation.
Alas! No! You love the immediate!
And leave (aside) hereafter.
Radiant will be the faces that day
To watch their Master!
Distorted will be the faces that day
In anticipation of imminent torture!
Alas! When it reaches the  collar bones.
And it is said, "Who will cure?"
And he anticipates - it is the parting.
There goes his legs trembling (in fear).
The driving that day will be to your Master.
   Then neither he is sincere nor does he respect
   But rather he denies and turns back
   (And) later goes (back) to his family to brag
   Closer to you and then even closer
   (And) later closer and so even closer
Does the human think he will be left to no avail?
Hadn't he been a drop from semen emitted?
(And) later a clot? Then He created and shaped
Then assigned of him couples - female and male
Is He not able to enliven the dead?
