Arabic, A Christian Language
Arabic, A Christian Language
To whom does a language belong? One might think it the possession of all who speak it. But as anyone . . . .
Yes there was christian arabs and yes they contributed in arabic arts and poetry etc but that doesn't make arabic a christian language that's rediculous. The argument of christianity preceeding islam is also weak Since judaism is older why isn't it called arabic, a jewish language, also most arabs was worshipping multiple gods like el lat and el ouzza and not christianity. The level of arabic in quoran is extraordinary. Even many skilled people in quraysh tribe who opposed islam in it birth and rise admittes that.
also most arabs was worshipping multiple gods like el lat and el ouzza and not christianity.
that's false, Christianity was widespread among Arabs in the Levant, Najran (South Saudi Arabia) and in Beth Qatarya (Eastern Arabia from Kuwait to UAE)
the Kaaba 🕋 had murals of Jesus and Mary inside of it that Muhammad didn't object to or ask to be defaced, mentioned in tradition but the murals have been lost as the Kaaba was rebuilt many times over the years
The polytheism or shirk mentioned in the Quran was not paganism, but syncretic Christianity that developed in Arabia with elements of Arabian paganism, not unlike what happened with Christianity elsewhere. Brigid the Celtic goddess becoming a Christian saint. The Quran spends more time arguing with Christians than with pagans, makes it clear who the target audience was.
The level of arabic in quoran is extraordinary
poems are harder to write than prose, the Quran is in prose
While there where whole tribes of christian and jews, it's true that the majority of arabs worshiped other gods. Shirk is worshipping any god other than the god mentionned in the coran, bible and torah.
personally I do agree with you that Arabic isn't a Jewish or Christian language, but it also isn't an Islamic language.
If Arabic was an Islamic language this wouldn't be possible
Arabic as any other language can communicate anything you want
I didn't mean to say that arabic is islamic language but it's the first abrahamic religion to start within arabs so the coran has to have an amazing usagd of the language
