“Arabic is the clearest, broadest, most eloquent, and most expressive of the meanings in the minds of the speakers. Hence, the most honorable book (the Noble Qur'an) was revealed in the most honorable language.”

— Ibn Kathīr (May Allah have mercy on him)

     “The Qur’an is the word of Allah and His revelation wherein He detailed what is good for His servants in this world and the Hereafter, and what they should do and what they should not. There is no way to learn it or understand its meanings except by delving into this language [i.e. Arabic].”

— Imam Al-Farābi
