Hello,

the other question is whether or not there are any beliefs by Muslims about the Arabic language itself.
How old is it according to them? Does it have any kind of holiness attached to it?

Do the letters of the script have any sacred value to them?

Or is the language just a means to an end, and nothing more?

If it is holy, then would some go as far as to not make profane certain articles or writings in that language? Such as not take a document written in Arabic to the bathroom?

Does any of this only apply to the literary form or does it also apply to MSA and the dialects?

Thanks for any clarification,

If I'm not mistaken (I'm not from middle east) the language is semitic. So how old is it I can't say. Don't think the language itself per se is holy. But combined in sentences of the Quran it does become.

:peace:

Thank you for the answer, though I was hoping for more.

Could these be backed up by other members?
 
Allah said in many places in Quran that he wrote Quran in arabic for easy understanding as mentioned in ch 54 v 22 of Quran
 
Ok so I will conclude that there is particular status in Islam of the Arabic language.

It's just a means to transmit the message.
