Why quran in arabic

The Arabic itself is the tafseer of the Ayat. If it is other than arabic,people would have asked where is the tafseer explanation of the ayat. Quran revealed in the Arabic language because no other language can cover the whole Quran like Arabic covering in one book form. Arabic is the best language in a world, point of view by Grammarly and easy to learn and speak, etc. No one knows why, people are guessing.

Allah knows why and have not told us. But in that Ayah it clearly says that we have sent it that you may get educated. This was directed at the Arabs then because they were so stubborn they would not get it. Sign up to join this community. The best answers are voted up and rise to the top.

I surmise it must've originally been written in Hebrew since all the events it chronicles happened around Jerusalem and Jesus was himself a Jew.

JuzerAli It was meant as a joke. It's a variant on the joke which goes "If English was good enough for Jesus, it's good enough for me. Why would people ask a question they will never find the answer to, why you may say? If the Quran is to be the final text, then its meaning must be preserved. In order to do that, the language itself must be very precise and defined. This was always a priority for Muslim scholars, many of whom were not Arab.

When someone translates a text, their translation is not the same as the original text. It is rather their understanding of the meaning of the original text. There although translations can give one a general understanding of the text, they are not the equivalent to the actual text.

If these same phrases are translated into a language and culture that do not take dogs as pets, but rather view them as unclean and wild animals, a literal translation will not suffice. Rather it will require further commentary onto what these phrases mean in the original language and culture. Similarly, the Quran was revealed in Arabic in a particular context and must be understood in that context.

The Arabic language has a very complex system of grammar and word formation. One statement can mean many things, and this is only possible in the Arabic language. Arabic is syntactical which means it cannot be compared to any other languages in terms of grammatical rules. Thus, they are impossible to change. If you strip the living skin of the body, he will die. But these individuals who are rising up this view are -interestingly- not the worshippers at all. The first view —Ahl al-Sunnah view- is what it is supposed to be as a matter of fact.

We have appointed it a Lecture, in Arabic that haply ye may conceive by understanding. Surah Zukhruf, 3. A Lecture in Arabic we revealed , containing no crookedness, which haply they may ward off. Surah Zumar, Allah created many languages for the mankind, but he determined Arabic language to address his servant among the languages. Because it is impossible for the Divine book to leave His Throne. His throne is Arabic. When looked at the history, every language developed after after it was born and over time it is transformed.

Arabic with its stable and perfect rules is the only language in the world that does not need development. Arabic is syntactical which means it cannot be compared to any other languages in terms of grammatical rules. The shortest wording without any loss in the meaning is only in the Arabic language. It is also the most advanced language amongst world languages in terms of eloquence, literature and fluency.

Thus no other language can express the meanings in the world. The richest language in term of words is also Arabic. It has a different word for each action. You can derive many different words from one word root.

Also, there is concordance between meaning and the phonetics of words. For this reason, it is again Arabic language that makes the mind, soul, heart and all the senses of the mankind perceive the divine truths as it does the translatorship of the soul, heart and mind.

Allah, if he had wished, would assign this job to another language by giving the same qualifications to that language. But divine wisdom determined the Arabic language. The difficulty of the pronunciation of a language is directly proportional with the number of the vowels in that language.

As it is known, there are eight vowels in Turkish. In English and French, there are more than 10 vowels. The other world languages have more than seven or eight vowels. However, there are only four vowels A, E, I and U in Arabic, and they are present in almost all languages and are the most widely used ones. Thus, an Arab who wants to learn another language and to speak it well has to learn some sounds that are not present in Arabic and has to get used to them.

However, someone who is not an Arab will not have any difficulty in getting used to the sounds in Arabic because the sounds in Arabic are the main sounds that are widely used in his language.
