قرآن میں عجمی الفاظ اور آثار صحابہ سے استدلال : تحقیقی مطالعہ

Foreign Words in the Qur'an and Reasoning from the Evidence of the Companions: A Research Study

Abstract

Throughout history, the evolution of the Arabic language has been marked by a dynamic process of interaction with various cultures and languages. Arabic words have permeated numerous linguistic landscapes, reflecting the cultural exchanges facilitated by trade and diplomacy. Persian, Greek, Abyssinian, Hebrew, Sanskrit, and Hindi influences have all left their imprint on Arabic vocabulary over time. Islamic scholars have engaged in debates regarding the presence of non-Arabic words in the Holy Quran. This paper addresses this contentious issue, presenting discussions, evidence, and arguments to support the assertion that while the majority of the Quran is in Arabic, the inclusion of a few non-Arabic words does not diminish its Arabic character. Proponents of non-Arabic words in the Quran acknowledge that the bulk of its vocabulary is Arabic. Furthermore, they argue that the few foreign words present convey meanings consistent with Arabic usage and comprehension. Despite their foreign origins, these words align with Arabic linguistic norms and are understood within the context of the language. As such, they are rightfully considered integral components of the Arabic lexicon.
