Arabic, the language

Arabiyyun (Arabic) is a language, an old language, one that was in use long before Deliverer Muhammad was born and before Al Qur’aan was “sent down” and revealed to him. It is a language that evolved to the time of the sending down of Al Qur’aan, is evolving now, and will continue to evolve as long as humankind exists and uses it. In this respect Arabic is not unique; all languages are evolutionary. Every language in existence is evolutionary due to progress, technology, for example, at one time the word ‘car’ which is common today did not exist but it had to be made-up or invented to meet the needs of progress in technology, just as ‘computer’, and a host of other words too long to mention. In addition, Arabic - as with other languages - did not always have a script but it too was ‘made-up’ or invented to meet the needs of progress and evolved over time. Arabic was and is a tool of verbal and aural communication, just as its script is a tool of visual communication. It is believed that Arabic is one of the Semitic Languages and that is why it shares some characteristics of the other Semitic Languages; some words sounding similar and or some being written in a similar manner; and as with any language there are dialects within them due to various factors and Arabic is not an exception to this rule. Precision is a characteristic of Arabic but it also poses its own difficulties, where one word may take the place of a number of words in a different language it is often necessary to understand the context in which the word is being used to understand its meaning. This rule of ‘context understanding’ becomes very important in modern written Arabic with the omission of vowel markings. Al Qur’aan is in the Arabic language and script, and the earliest writings of Al Qur’aan did not have vowel markings, unlike the Arabic Qur’aan’s of this period, thus precise pronunciation and understanding would often depend on the familiarity of the words in Al Qur'aan. The changing of one vowel in a word could be the difference between two very different meanings, and no one knows every word in any language. Any of the fore mentioned factors of themselves may seem insignificant, but when taken in totality they become very important.

Arabic, the Sacred Language

Numerous web sites, and writings, now designate Arabia/Arabic as a “Sacred Language”. Was it always a “Sacred Language”? If so, what made it a “Sacred Language” in antiquity? If not, what has made it so in modern times? You will find that Arabia/Arabic was not a “Sacred Language”, it become sacred by the creation who wished it to be so. The creation took no consideration of The Creator’s word, only theirs, and then they began to call it as such. True to form; the ‘unthinking followers’ blindly went along with their hypothesis, as usual unquestioningly. The hypothesis for Arabic being ‘sacred’ is due to Al Qur’aan having been "sent down" from God in Arabic; it may also be due to long-standing, family, rivalries between cousins, the Arabs and the Jews. Both sides of the ‘family’ are engrossed in pettiness to the point that both have abandoned their true callings. So now, the Arabs have their sacred language just as their cousins have Hebrew as theirs.

Sacred Language

We now believe that humans did not always have intelligent speech. We now believe that at one time humans communicated by gestures, pushing, pulling, grunts, and groans, and, did not have any form of written intelligible script. However, God’s plan was that humans would possess the blessings of speech, and of writing. God had already endowed humans with an intellect that would enable them to resolve the conflicts of their inability to communicate easily. Thus, over time, human intellect produced languages, then forms of symbols to communicate with one another in those languages. Symbolic writing progressed from being ‘pictures of things’ to symbolic writing using ‘script to represent things’, it was God’s plan.

I believe that humankind always had the furqaan (discrimination between right and wrong) but it had to be developed; from its most base form to its higher level of associative reasoning, which it did, over time. Humankind intellectually evolved from an animalistic nature to its moral nature using the innate furqaan it possessed, it was God’s plan. Along this evolutionary road, humankind was to begin receiving commandments from God, through his Deliverers. The commandments of God would come from these Deliverers in the form of words, language/s that humans would be able to understand. Humankind was geographically diverse and the pace of development was not always along the same progressive timeline. Additionally, the form of communication that humankind developed for their use was also diverse, thus you have ‘languages’, each accomplishing the same goal, yet different. These accomplishments were all according to God’s plan for humankind, his blessings for humankind. The source of all blessings is God, remove God from the equation and you also remove blessings - even if existence were possible without God - though it is not.

“God is Sacred” and being the source of all blessings means his blessings are also sacred. All of our faculties are sacred blessings; sight, hearing, taste, touch, and smell, are all sacred, our intellect and ability to reason are also sacred. Our ability to communicate with one another is also sacred, and the means by which we communicate, is sacred.

Language

With God thus being sacred, and because all blessings emanate from him, they too are sacred. The ability to communicate is a blessing, and as such, it is sacred, and the means by which we communicate is through language, consequentially language is sacred and therefore all languages are sacred. Irrespective of a scripture from God having been, or not having been, revealed in any one particular language, language itself is sacred.

Conclusion

Arabia is sacred, Hebrew is sacred, Aramaic is sacred, and English is sacred. African, Asian, Eastern, European, Western, etc., any language, or form of communication, which humankind uses, is sacred. They are all from Allaah!

Because God is the ‘author of creation’, everything Allaah created is in itself sacred, and since we are all Allaah’s creation, we are all sacred as well; life is sacred. Humankind does not have “Al Sultaan” (the authority), or “Al Amru” (the command) to designate what is or is not sacred, that belongs to Allaah alone. So who are these, of Allaah’s creation, who have taken it upon themselves to be your Ilaah (God)? Be careful of what and who you follow and remember; everything that we say, or do not say, do, or do not do, will be answered for on “Yawmu Al Diyn” (Day of Requital); apparently that is something which has been forgotten, and we may have forgotten, but Allaah has not.

لا يضل ربى و لا ينسى

my Lord does not make mistakes and does not forget 20:52

ذلكم الله ربكم لا اله الا هو خلق كل شىء فاعبدوه و هو على كل شىء وكيل

That is Allaah your Lord,

there is no god but he, he created all things so worship him,

and he over all things is the dispose of affairs 6:102

بل لله الامر جميعا

rather the command is with God exclusively 13:31

ياايها الذين آمنوا لا تتبعوا خطوات الشيطان

O you who believe do not follow the footsteps of Al Shaytaani (The Devil) 24:21
