chk this by Dr Zakir Naik
1. Arabic: language of the land.
The Glorious Qur’an is the last and final revelation of Almighty God which was revealed for the whole of humanity. Since it was revealed in Arabia, the language of the Qur’an had to be the language of the people of that land i.e. Arabic. Similarly, the other previous revelations of God like Torah, Zaboor, Injeel, etc. were also revealed in the language of inhabitants living in that region.
2. Arabic: Muhammad’s (Pbuh) mother tongue.
Since the last and final Messenger, Prophet Muhammad (Pbuh), unto whom the Qur’an was revealed, was an Arab, therefore the Qur’an was revealed to him in his mother tongue which was Arabic. If the Qur’an was revealed in a language which was not the Prophet’s mother tongue, the people who knew that language, would surely say, how can you explain to us the message when we understand it better than you? It would be like a French man, who explains to an English man regarding the message given in a book written in English.
3. Arabic: a living language.
Although, Arabic is an ancient language, it is yet a living language which is spoken by more than 150 million people throughout the world. The languages of the other religious scriptures like Hebrew, ancient Greek, Aramaic, etc. are dead languages and can hardly be understood by a handful of scholars. These languages are not spoken in any discussions or conversations or not used in written correspondence. Therefore it is very easy for a person who wants to make any changes in the religious scriptures in such ancient languages, since the masses will not realize it - such an eventuality is not possible in the case of the Qur’an.
4. Arabic: a very rich language.
Arabic is a very rich language. Several of its words have many meanings. Each word of Arabic has a deep meaning and we sometimes require few words or even sentences to describe its meaning. Thus in a few words a lot of information can be conveyed, and several times, all the different meanings of that same word are applicable e.g. The first two verses of the Qur’an from Surah ‘Alaq’ chapter no 96 verses 1 and 2 are ‘Iqra Bismi Rabbikal Lazi Khalaq’ Khalaqal Insaana Min alaq’.
‘Iqra in Arabic means ‘to read’, to recite’, ’to proclaim’. ‘Rab’ in Arabic means ‘Lord’, ‘Cherisher’, ‘Sustainer’ and ‘Alaq’ in Arabic means something which clings or a leech like substance. Therefore, these two short verses of the Qur’an give us a great deal of knowledge and information and even if we translate the verses as follows; “read, recite, proclaim in the name of Thy Lord; the cherisher, the sustainer, who created. Who created the human being from something which clings, a leech like substance”, it does not encompass the total meaning.
5. Because of the richness and eloquence in the Arabic language in which the Qur’an was revealed, there are basically two types of reading of the Qur’an. One is ‘Tazakkur-e-Qur’an’ i.e. superficial reading in which you acquire the general message of the Qur’an. And the second category is ‘Tadabbur’ which means to ponder or consider with care, in which you acquire the complete meaning and deeper understanding of the Qur’an. The same verse will satisfy a layman as well as an intellectual.
6. The Arabic script requires much less space as compared to other languages e.g. ‘Muhammad’ in Arabic is written as shown below with the short vowels added above. However, if you have to write the same word in English, you have to write Muhammad or Muhammed.
Muhammad written in Arabic and English.
Thus the space, the ink, the time, the energy and the resources required to write or print the Arabic script is one-third or half of what is required in English and other languages.
7. Qur’an: not only for the Arabs but for the whole world.
This does not however indicate that because the Qur’an was revealed in Arabic, it is only meant for the Arabs. Suppose a French Scientist makes a new discovery which guides the people in day to day household work, or a medical treatment for a certain disease and he further writes his findings and theory in French, it does not mean that his research is only meant for the people of France. Even though, it is written in French, it is guidance for the whole world. Similarly, even though the Qur’an was revealed in Arabia in the Arabic language, it is guidance not only to the Arabs but to the whole world.
