​NAK has not brought anything new to the table! He was simply trying to represent Muslim scholars’ evidence in different appealing and attractive ways, misinterpreting and swiftly juggling the meanings of many Arabic words to fit his purpose – those words that NAK cherry-picked from the vast Arabic vocabulary.​

​

NAK selected three examples to tell us how remarkable and meaningful Allah’s words are:

​

• Allah calls his created female ‘a woman’ before marriage and a ‘wife’ after marriage? Because a female can be productive after being married, hence the word ‘wife’ is more suitable and uplifting!

• Asked by NAK: ‘Did you know why in the Quran all prophets used to call their people ‘my related nation’ except Jesus who used to say to his people ‘the children of Israel’? Here is your answer which, according to NAK, is truly astonishing! “Because Jesus had no human father hence it was not appropriate for him to call his people ‘my related nation’.”

• NAK gave another example of how Allah had picked up, from two similar words, one that most fitted his statement, reflecting Allah’s massive generosity in rewarding the righteous people! NAK said that, in Arabic, there are two words used to describe the plural of the wheat stalk: (a)- ‘Sanabel’ and (b)- ‘Sunbulat’. The first plural indicates an abundant quantity of stalks while the second plural indicates few stalks. Allah, in his Quran, used the first word to relate the idea that a generous reward would be awaiting the good doers in the life after. While, elsewhere in the Quran, he used the second one to indicate a limited materialistic gain in this life. WOW!

 

My comment:

​

Here you have it, some clear examples of God’s wisdom and profound knowledge in using the Arabic language to perform some linguistic marvels. Let us just see if NAK had given any thought to this comment:

​

1.  The word ‘wife’ is more uplifting than the word ‘woman’.

For 94% of the world’s population who do not speak Arabic, the words ‘wife’ and ‘woman’ have equal status except that the responsibilities of a wife are far greater than those of a single woman.

​

2.  Jesus calling his people ‘the children of Israel’.

It is logical and very much expected for someone who had no blood relation with the people that he happened to live with, to call them by their name rather than ‘my people’. Where is the wonder or miracle in that, especially when it came from a person such as Jesus, the man who convinced millions that he was the son of God.

​

3. ‘Sanabel’ versus ‘Sunbulat’.

Again, this would not make any sense to the 94% of the world’s population who do not speak Arabic. One would expect Allah to be straightforward by using numbers to indicate the difference in his level of rewards!

Apparently, Allah, for some reason, selected the Arabic language, spoken by few people in a remote desert at the time, to deliver his message in a linguistically miraculous way!

​

Let us further see if NAK can answer any of the following questions:

​

Q1- What is so special about the Arabic language to be given preference by Allah , the so-called All Mighty, the creator of  the Universe? It may be special to those who speak it but certainly not the 94% of the world population, and of which 99% would find Arabic difficult to learn and comprehend! If the Quran was revealed, say, in the Chinese language, would the Arabs still see it as a linguistically miraculous holy book and would Allah still be challenging them to produce the same?

​

Q2- Did Allah find that the languages in which he revealed his other divine books were no longer suitable, and decided to use a new language, selecting Arabic as the best?If so, on what basis and why Allah had to teach Adam, according to NAK, all the languages spoken on earth, almost 6500 of them , and after that he settled on the Arabic language as his preference? It would have been less hustle and far less confusing if Allah only taught Adam  one language, the Arabic which Allah found  to be most expressive and eloquent for his final divine book!  

​

Q3-Would not one expect Allah to select the most suitable language at the time and not the one which, even after 1400 years, is only known to less than 6% of the world’s population?

​

Q4- If Allah chose the Arabic language for his final message to mankind, could he not just add that magic touch to his Arabic Quran to maintain its powerful effect when it is translated into other languages since the Quranic text would not maintain its intended meaning once it is translated to other languages!

​

Q5- Why did Allah not put and maintain such powerful and linguistically miraculous words in his other two divine books, the Bible and the Torah? Was there a particular reason for Allah to protect and present the Quran as his best book and simply ignore his other two books?
