Question

I heard that Gabriel was talking with Muhammed,,,And Why Quran is arabic now? Sure Muhammed was living in Mecca,,,anyway....I wonder Angels of GOD could talk any language? And Last,,,Who did write first Quran as book?

Answer 1

Besides the above mentioned sources, Qur'an couldn't possibly have been written by ANYONE else. No other source is possible, because Qur'an is written in pure, rich, and poetic Arabic, which was not known to anyone other than the above mentioned sources, at that time. The Arabic language was at its peak in expression, richness, vocabulary, artistic, and poetic value during the time the Qur'an was being revealed. Anyone speaking the classical Arabic ( the Arabic of Qur'an at the time it was revealed) would argue that a non-Arab entity couldn't possibly have written such an extensive and brilliant piece of literature in the Arabic language. Qur'an could only have been written by an Arabic speaking entity.

An entity, who's knowledge, style, vocabulary, grammar, and way of expression was so powerful that it impacted the entire Arabian peninsula, the east, the west, and continues to impact people all over the globe today!

At no other time, in the history of Arabic language, had it ever achieved its peak in expression, literature, and development, than the time of Arabia during the 6th Century, the time when Qur'an was being revealed. With the Arabic language at its peak, and the best of Arabic writers, poets present in Arabia, it is impossible that a non-Arabic speaking entity would write a book like Qur'an and have such a dynamite impact on the Arabs!

Lets examine the three choces one by one.

(1) Arabs Wrote it ?

What Qur'an teaches goes DIRECTLY against the pagan Arab culture, religion, and gods, that existed before the Qur'an was revealed. Qur'an condemns idol worshipping, but the Arabs, loved their idol gods, and worshipped them regularly. Qur'an raised the status of women; the Arabs treated women next to animals. The Arabs would never write something that goes against their most important belief of idol worshipping. Qur'an goes against most of the social habbits (such as backbiting, slandering, name calling, etc) which the Arabs were heavily indulged into. For example, the Arabs would call insulting nicknames such as Abu Jahal (the father of ignorance). Qur'an condemns and prohibits taking interest on money, whereas, the Arabs freely levied heavy interest rates in loans and businesses. Qur'an condemns and prohibits Alcohol drinking, whereas, the Arabs consumed alcohol freely. The Qur'an condemns and prohibits gambling, whereas, the Arabs were some of the worst gamblers. The Arabs would never write something so comprehensively against just about all of their customs and culture and religious beliefs, as the Qur'an is.

During the time of the Holy Prophet (PBUH), the Arabs would indulge in all the social habits that the Qur'an condemns and prohibits. How can Arabs then write something that would negate their entire society's norms and ideologies ?

Did a group of Arabs or an individual Arab write Qur'an? Perhaps a rebel Arab beduoin, or a society's misfit, or someone with different ideals and norms decided one day to write Qur'an? The answer to those questions are also 'no'. Because, if we read Qur'an, we notice that there is no author ! No individual has his/her name written on the cover of Qur'an! No one in the history of the world has EVER claimed to have written the Qur'an, No one in the world has ever been accused of writing the Holy Qur'an, except the Prophet Mohammad (peace be upon him), by non-muslims.

The Prophet Mohammad (Peace Be Upon Him) was the only Arabian who first practiced, explained, and preached Qur'an, and ended up making a lot of Arab tribes enemies. Any historian, Muslim or non-Muslim would argue that the only possible source of Qur'an can be the Prophet Mohammad (PBUH), the man responsible to recite it, teach it, and expalin it to the people of Arabia. In fact, many historians today still think that only Mohammad (pbuh) could possibly have written it.

This leads one to conclude that the Prophet (pbuh) must have written it !

(2) Mohammad (PBUH) wrote it ?

First, he was illiterate !! How can an illiterate person come up with such a rich, poetic, intellectual, and inspiring text that it rocked the entire Arabia ? Mohammad (pbuh) never went to school ! No one taught him. He had no teacher of any kind in any subjects. How can he have the knowledge of all the science, astronomy, oceanography, etc that is contained in the Qur'an ? ( For example, the mention of ocean currents, stars, earth, moon, sun and their fixed paths in Soorah Rahman; and many other scientific statements that are found in Qur'an, that cannot be stated in this short article)

When Qur'an was revealed, the Arabic language was at its peak in richness, poetic value, literature, etc. Qur'an came and challenged the best literature in Arabic, the best poetry in Arabic of the time to produce a single chapter like that of the Qur'an.

And if you are in doubt as to what We have revealed from time to time to Our servant, then produce a Sura like thereunto; and call your witnesses or helpers (If there are any) besides Allah, if your (doubts) are true.The Holy Qur'an, Chapter 2,Verse 23

Mohammad (PBUH) being illiterate couldnt possibly have come up with something so immaculate that it even exceded the best of poetry, and literature in Arabic at the time of the language's PEAK development. Arabic language had never been so rich in expression, poetic value, vocabulary, and variety in literature, as it was in the time of Qur'an. At a time like this, Qur'an came and exceeded the best of Arabic in all aspects of the language: poetry, literature, expression, etc. Any classical Arabic speaker would appreciate the unbeatten, unchallenged, and unmatched beauty of the language of Qur'an.

Mohammad (PBUH) had no reason to come up with something like Qur'an, and cause the entire society of Arabia to become his enemy. Why would he do something like that? Why would he write something going against almost all of the norms of the society, and lose his family, relatives, friends, and other loved ones , and not to mention all the wealth he lost ?

Qur'an was revealed over a period of 23 years ! A very long time! Is it possible for someone to maintain the same exact style of Arabic speech , as demonstrated in Qur'an, for over 23 years ?

Also, what the prophet Mohammad (PBUH) used to say is recorded in what we call his hadeeth (sunnah). If we look at the Arabic style of the hadeeth, and compare it with the style of Qur'an, we can clearly see that they are clearly DIFFERENT, and DISTINGUISHABLE Arabic styles. The Prophet (PBUH) spoke in public. It does not make sense that a man has two UNIQUE, Distinguishable, and completely different styles of speech in public. Yet another reason why Mohammad (PBUH) couldn't possibly have written Qur'an.

It is He Who has sent amongst the Unlettered a messenger from among themselves, to rehearse to them His Signs, to sanctify them, and to instruct them in Scripture and Wisdom, although they had been, before, in manifest error The Holy Qur'an, Chapter 62,Verse 2

The Conclusion: Qur'an is Allah (God)'s word.

The Qur'an has retained its original pure form for over 14 centuries not a word has changed. Allah has promised to safeguard it from corruption

We have, without doubt, sent down the Message; and We will assuredly guard it (from corruption). The Holy Qur'an, Chapter 15,Verse 9

No falsehood can approach it from before or behind it: It is sent down by One Full of Wisdom, Worthy of all Praise.The Holy Qur'an, Chapter 41,Verse 42

Answer 2

In arab lands they were talking arabic , Quran came from god in arabic language
prophet mohamed was living in mecca ....
Gabriel was talking arabic to the prophet .....
Abu Bakar al sediek was the first one who ordered to write Quran as a book and that was after the death of prophet mohamed 1or 2 years

Answer 3

The quran was told to Mohammed in 7 dialekts in arabic. Muslims insist that Qur'an cannot be translated into any other tongue except Arabic, the language of God.
Verses were written on leaves and wood, memorized by his followers and eventually collected.
Narrated Qatada: I asked Anas bin Malik: 'Who collected the Quran at the time of the prophet?' He replied, 'Four, all of whom were from the Ansar: Ubai bin Ka`b, Muadh bin Jabal, Zaid bin Thabit and Abu Zaid.'" (Sahih Bukhari, vol. vi, no. 525)

al Bagawi in Sarh al Sunna
'The mushaf which has been traditionally accepted represents the final review text. `Uthman ordered it to be copied into the mushafs he despatched throughout the empire, simultaneously making away with all other Qur'an materials with the aim of preventing differences. Whatever is at variance with the written text is now to be regarded in the same light as that which has been abrogated and withdrawn.

Answer 4

"What language was talking during God send his messages to Muhammed?"

The language is Prophet Muhammad's native language, which is Arabic.

Therefore, "Why Quran is arabic now?"... It has always been in Arabic.

"Angels of GOD could talk any language?"

This I cannot confirm because I am merely human and my knowledge is limited. But, when Angels communicate with humans, we'd be able to understand what they're saying. I suppose.

"Who did write first Quran as book?"

While Prophet Muhammad was still alive, verses of the Qura'an were written on leaves, twigs, branches, stones and whathaveyous during that time because paper has yet to be in wide circulation. It is only after the Prophet's death that his friends [sahabat] gathered the widely spread verses from all over and compile it into one book. Please note that the verses that they gathered come from very relieable sources. If the source is doubted, then it is not taken. They are very serious in this matter. Therefore, the verses in the Qura'an are not modified.

I hope that answers your question.

May God Bless.

Answer 5

The languange of the Quran is Arabic in the past (when the time it was revealed) and even in today. The languange of the Quran still did not change. Why? Because they learned from their older brother (Christianity and Jewish) that when u translated something, it is always possible that the translation get wrong. After all, human never stop from making mistakes. Don't u think so? So, they chose to preserve the languange in it's original form in order to prevent from, what happened to the Bible and the Old Testament, happens to the Quran. So the Quran as we see today, is exactly, perfectly letter by letter resemble to the old Quran when it was revealed.

Gabriel is the Arc angel. It is his job to deliver the messages from God to the prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) -and to other prophets before him as well. Of course Gabriel can talk other languange as well. For example, when the angel revealed the messages form God to Moses and Jesus (peace be upon them), he must be using Hebrew, otherwise, they won't understand what the angel said to them.

The question of who did write the first Quran?
During the present of the prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him), the Quran was written by his companions on woods, clays, stones etc.
Most of them memorized the whole Quran without errors. They can recited it perfectly. So, there is no need to write it as book. But as the time goes by, many of those people who memorized the Quran (called tahfiz) died during wars against Romans. At that time, the early writtings (such as the writting on pieces of woods) was more that enough. So there is still no need to compile them on one book.

Then something happened. One day, the caliph (the leader of a Muslim country) Saidina Uthman bin Affan walked along a street. Then he saw an old man sitting there reciting the Quran. He then (he himself is a tahfiz) realized that the old man recited the Quran wrongly. It made him contemplated for a while.
He realized that at that time, the Arabic writting system has great defect. At that time, the Arabic words were written without vowels. For example, the word Muhammad was written as Mim-Ha-Mim-Dal. These are the pronounciation of the Arabic letter. Mim is one letter stand in English for M. And Ha is one letter, stand in English for H, and Dal is one letter, stand in English for D. Literally, it will be MHMD. How to pronounce it? To the local people, Arabic is their mother tongue, have no problem with that. They will pronounce it as Muhammad. But for the outsiders, it would be tricky for them to pronounce MHMD. They might pronounce it as Mahammad, Mohommod, Mihimmid etc.

So the caliph (the leader of a Muslim country) Saidina Uthman bin Affan got concerned with it and ordered the Muslims to write the Quran on books. He and the other companions created a new writting system with vowels. The spelling of Muhammad still MHMD in Arabic but they put some dots to represent the vowels.The Qurans (with vowels) were then delivered to all mosques. And all the early writtings (without vowels) were burnt to prevent this from happening again. And the first Quran are currently display at a Museum in Istanbul, Turki.

Answer 6

Nowadays people always dispute how the Quran was revealed, how was it copied, spread among the people and if there is more than one Quran.

The first link given below should help allievate this problem.

Another clarification:
The holy Quran is the revealed Word of God and NOT of the holy prophet Muhammad (may Peace be upon him). On the other hand, Bukhari and other such books are collections of sayings of the holy prophet Muhamad (may Peace be upon him) which were collected and collated by eminent Muslim scholars after the holy prophet died. So the question of holy prophet (may Peace be upon him) dictating the book of Bukhari does not even arise.

Answer 7

the angels talked in arabic for it was the language spoken by our Prohet(pbuh) when they revealed the Quran. The Qur'an was revealed in arabic. It was learnt by heart by prophet. Then during his time, people started to write on leaves and tree barks for others to read.
There obviously is a God~Allah and he listens to everyone's plight and there are lots of people in the world. and the world is full of muslims. and there is a different language for every country. and evryone all over the world have different languages, obviously, they pray (as in 'Doa' not 'Salat') in their own language. and God listens to thier Dua watevr their language. and if God can do that y not the angels?
Quran wa compiled after the death of Prophet Muhammad s.a.w. by the third Khilafah.

Answer 8

Hmmm, English is obviously not your mother tongue, is it?

I'm not a Mozzie, but I can Answer your Questions, so permit me...?

Mohammad "spoke" with the Archangel Gabriel in Arabic because, obviously the Archangel is a polyglot.

Ergo, he dictated the Koran to the scribes like al Bukhari, in Arabic, which was Mohammads mother tongue.

I do believe that has already answered your other Question about who wrote the Koran, too, don't you think?

Cheers!!!!

Answer 9

Angels speak all languages, so Gabriel would have spoken in whatever language Muhammed did.

Answer 10

Arabic of course because prophet Mohammad said that people will speak Arabic in heaven because it is a perfect language.

the first man who wrote quran was Ali ibne abi taleb.

Answer 11

i believe angels speak as back in so den and Gomorrah they warned lot to get out of the city it would be destroyed. they talk in heaven. as on earth not at this time. only look after gods people. i don't believe Qumran has any thing do with god. i don't believe in worshiping a man. as the bible plainly puts it . a blind man leading another. man does not know his own footsteps. so the bible is the king James bible from god. if anyone adds or deletes to it his portion of life is cut off.
