Role of Holy Qur'an in
Dissemination of Arabic Language and its Survival
Each language has its life, after which it dies away. But Arabic
language has survived even after a long period. This is because Holy
Quran was revealed by Allah in Arabic. Quran will remain live till the
Day of Judgment, so will Arabic language survive for ever. Quran has
proved to be a blessing for Arabic language. Arabic language is in fact
like a utensil which carries the great and deep meanings of Quran.
The interest of the Muslims in Quran all over the world has created in
them interest for Arabic language, so Arabic has become a universal
language.
Quran added new meanings and innovative styles to Arabic
language and thus the Arabic language was enriched with a new
heritage and beauty. It has endowed Arabic language with stability
and consistency. All researchers agree that Quran is the primary
protector of Arabic language and has saved it from diminishing. It has
helped in unification of its dialects by establishing the supremacy of
the dialect of Quraish. Besides, Quran introduced new sciences and
innovative vocabulary in Arabic language, such as Hadith, Fiqh,
Usool-ul-Hadith and Usool-ul-Fiqh; Linguistic Sciences, such as
Grammar, Syntax, Rhetoric and Philology; Philosophical Sciences,
such as Logic and Islamic Philosophy, Oneness (of Allah) and
Theology etc. It is only because of the Holy Quran that the Arabic
language has been transformed into World Language.
