Is there a verse that speaks about the status of the Arabic language?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Oct 24, 2026
There is no explicit, authentic text that clarifies the status of the Arabic language. However, many verses mention the Arabic language, such as His Almighty's saying: "Indeed, We have sent it down as an Arabic Qur'an that you might understand" [Yusuf: 2], and "In a clear Arabic tongue" [Ash-Shu'ara: 195]. There is also a weak regarding its virtue: "Love the Arabs for three reasons: because I am an Arab, the Qur'an is Arabic, and the language of the people of Paradise is Arabic." Its honor is sufficient in that Allah Almighty revealed His Book in it.
