Draft:Islam and Arabic language
An article like [[Biblical Hebrew]] / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Arabic language in Islam, specifically Classical Arabic, which is called Quranic Arabic (like Biblical Hebrew), is the standard liturgical language and is generally given a special role in education and worship. Many Muslims see the Quran as divine revelation — it is believed to be the direct word of God as revealed to Muhammad in Arabic.[1][2] Translations of the Quran into other languages are therefore not treated as the Quran itself; rather, they are seen as interpretive texts, which attempt to communicate a translation of the Quran's message.[3][4] Regardless, they are generally accepted by Islamic religious authorities as interpretive guides for non-Arabic-speakers, despite their illegitimacy for religious practice.[5] Scholars of Islam must learn and interpret the Quran in classical Arabic. According to the four accepted Sunni schools of jurisprudence, it is a requirement for the khutbah to be delivered completely in classical Arabic.[6][better source needed]

The historical source of Islam's focus on Arabic may have been from the pre-Islamic tradition of Arabic poetry, in which the literate poets believed the language had an exceptional poetic quality that was untranslatable.[7] This tradition survives today in the belief that Classical Arabic as spoken by Muhammad was "pure" and "undefiled."[8]
Muslims believe in a command to pray five times per day, known as salah, which often consists partially of recitation of passages from the Quran. The vast majority of Muslims, however, do not speak Arabic natively and so many believe in the necessity to learn the language to participate in daily prayer.[9] Almost all Muslims believe that the Quran in Arabic is an exact duplication of the transcript that Muhammad received by dictation from God by way of the angelic messenger Gabriel and found in Heaven at Miraj.[10] However, this belief is not universal to all Muslims and has only emerged over time through the development of Islam.[11]
